Info for Sundowners

Die britischen Rocklegenden The Answer melden sich nach sieben Jahren Abwesenheit mit ihrem siebten vollständigen Studioalbum Sundowners zurück. Produziert vom britischen Rockproduzenten Dan Weller (Enter Shikari / Bury Tomorrow), ist das neue Album eine außergewöhnliche Platte, die mit Sicherheit eines der Rockalben des Jahres 2023 sein wird. Mit mehr als 300.000 verkauften Alben in ihrem Katalog und Tourneen mit AC/DC und den Rolling Stones wird das Comeback von The Answer von den Fans fieberhaft erwartet und es wird eine Reihe von speziellen Auftritten zum Albumstart geben.

"Wir haben als Band viel erlebt, sind um die Welt getourt, haben sechs großartige Alben gemacht, auf die wir alle stolz sind, und haben immer unser Bestes getan, um ehrliche und zeitlose Musik zu machen, die Rock- und Musikfans im Allgemeinen anspricht. Nach sechs Alben und vielen Straßenkilometern hatten wir das Gefühl, dass wir einen Schritt zurücktreten und neu anfangen müssen. Das war zwar keine leichte Entscheidung, aber im Nachhinein betrachtet war es vielleicht die beste Entscheidung, die wir je getroffen haben, denn nach sieben Jahren Auszeit kamen wir alle mit Feuer und Flamme zurück, und das Endergebnis ist ein Album, auf das wir unser ganzes Leben lang gewartet haben ... voller guter Rock'n'Roll-Musik und positiver Energie, geschaffen von vier Brüdern, die sich ehrlich gesagt einfach vermisst haben. Wir sind zurück und bereit, euch unser bestes Album aller Zeiten zu präsentieren!" (Cormac Neeson)

The Answer

The Answer
Blues-influenced hard rock band the Answer first came together in 2000 when guitarist Paul Mahon, then 18 years old and living in Northern Ireland, decided to put together a group with the help of a friend, bassist Micky Waters. Waters was already a veteran of the Belfast club circuit, having played in several cover bands, and Mahon had been given a crash course in the nuts and bolts of the music business by his father, who played trumpet in a long-running Irish show band. Mahon recruited James Heatley to play drums, Cormac Neeson signed on as lead singer, and the Answer were born.

After several months of rehearsing and writing material, the Answer started playing live gigs in 2001, and in 2002 they landed a prestigious gig as the opening act at Ireland's Witness Festival. In 2005, the Answer signed a record deal with the U.K. branch of Albert Productions, and in June 2006 their first album, Rise, arrived in shops. Rise earned enthusiastic reviews in Kerrang! and Classic Rock and chalked up respectable sales in the U.K. while becoming a legitimate hit in Japan. After sharing bills with everyone from Deep Purple and Paul Rodgers to the Rolling Stones and the Who, the Answer reissued Rise in 2007 with a bonus disc including a handful of tracks the group had issued as download-only singles.

In 2008 they continued their busy schedule with shows at the Isle of Wight Festival and opening for influential Australian rock outfit AC/DC on the European leg of their Black Ice world tour. Between the two they managed to retreat to L.A. and work on sessions for their sophomore release, Everyday Demons, which came out in 2009. They ended the year with a headlining tour in the U.K., before they began work on their third album in early 2010. The following year the four-piece released a DVD of their live performances on tour with AC/DC titled 412 Days of Rock 'n' Roll, and swiftly followed it up with the studio album Revival. Their fourth record, New Horizon, was released in September 2013, and just 18 months later, the band had recorded and issued their fifth, Raise a Little Hell, in March 2015. Following a U.S. tour in support of the album, the band's singer/lyricist returned to welcome a new son who was born three months premature. Neeson and his wife were able to bring their son home only after four harrowing months in hospital, an experience that informed the band's next album, Solas, released in autumn of 2016.

This album contains no booklet.
