The Answer announce new album and tour dates

Northern Irish hard rockers the Answer return later this year with their first release for Napalm Records, one of the biggest and best independent metal and hard rock labels in the world.

The band's fourth album, New Horizon is out September 30. The late Storm Thorgerson worked on artwork for the record.

The accompanying tour will take them across the UK and mainland Europe, but they kick things off with two Irish dates.

You can catch them in the Limelight 2, Belfast, on Friday October 11. The following night (Sat October 12), they'll play Whelan's, Dublin.

Vocalist Cormac Neeson says: "We’re back and we’re back in a big way. Our love for rock ‘n’ roll is still as fresh as a skinny dip in the Lagan (that’s the big river that runs through Belfast!) and we really believe that this is by far and away our best album to date. We can’t wait to get out and play it live!”
