Northern Ireland rockers The Answer today release a new single ‘Comfort Zone’ ahead of their biggest ever headline tour.
‘Comfort Zone’ has been a crowd favourite on The Answer’s 128-date world tour with ACDC, during which they played to over 2 million fans. A live version of the track shot at SXSW has been on high rotation on Direct TV US for over a year! The new single version was remixed by renowned UK radio mixer Cenzo Townsend (U2/Snow Patrol/Florence & the Machine), and is accompanied by an acoustic version of the same song, and ‘Take It Easy’.
As The Answer’s guitarist Paul Mahon told Hot Press, “It’s been a fantastic experience playing to huge AC/DC audiences and we can’t wait to hit the road again to do our own headline shows. We’ve been very fortunate to meet the likes of Alice Cooper and Green Day along the way and it’s great to know that they are new fans!”
The Answer’s second album Everyday Demons invaded the UK top 30 earlier this year. The band played Download 09 festival during the
Summer and downloaded over 280,000 singles.
The tour kicks off on November 25 in Manchester and finishes on December 14 at Belfast’s Ulster Hall.
