On the eve of their brand new record, Irish rockers The Answer will be touring throughout the U.K. and Ireland. In celebration of their brand new album Raise A Little Hell (March 9th via Napalm Records), the tour starts tonight in Ireland at Belfast’s Limelight. With this being their fifth album the band have decided to go back to their roots in terms of song writing delivering hard hitting heavy rock anthems. Previously releasing the first track off the record “Long Live The Renegades” showing their stripped down bare bones approach works just as well as the band’s past material.
In the days of modern production The Answer tried to strip things back a little, bringing back the feel of classic AC/DC era rock ‘n’ roll! The band comment on the first song :
“Long Live The Renegades’ is the opening track on our new album ‘Raise A Little Hell’.
It’s a bit of a rocker and we tried a slightly different production technique on this track by keeping it very dry. The song is about just doing what you do best and having a bit of a bunker mentality. This is our fifth album and we’ve gone back to our earlier blues and roots style with what we think are harder rockin’ grooves. Hope you like it as much as we do!”
The idea behind what The Answer are doing with “Long Live The Renegades” is an inventive move, particularly with a sound like theirs, in these modern day recordings of cut and paste takes, the band wanted to get back to basics with this one. If you’re a fan then you’ll most certainly welcome the rockers with open arms and Raise A Little Hell is sure to raise some eyebrows!
