The Answer have completed work on their new album Solas.
The Northern Irish rock band will release the follow-up to last year’s Raise A Little Hell on October 14. It has been produced by Andy Bradfield and Avril Macintosh, who previously worked on their 2006 album Rise.
Frontman Cormac Neeson says: “All I will say about this record is that it’s a journey and one we’ve never really taken before so prepare yourselves for a few surprises. But don’t worry they are ridiculously good surprises – well I think so anyway.
“We’ll be giving you a few tasters of what’s to come when we take to the stage this summer.”
Further release details will be revealed in due course.
The band will head out on the road this summer to mark the 10th anniversary of their debut album Rise, including several dates supporting Whitesnake and an appearance at the Ramblin’ Man Fair on July 24.
The Answer will also be at this year’s TeamRock-sponsored HeavyCon event at Birmingham’s NEC which runs from September 30-October 2.
