The Answer to ‘Raise A Little Hell’ in March

The Answer - New PR PicNorthern Ireland’s hardest working hard rockers, The Answer (pictured right), have confirmed that they are to release their new album, Raise A Little Hell’, via Napalm Records on March 9 in UK and Europe.
Writing on their Facebook page at the weekend, the band said:
“If you folks thought we spent this Summer playing festivals and downing tequila shots…well you would only be half right. We wrote a brand new record as well and it’s sounding pretty damn good!!!
“Never a band to let ourselves get too comfortable in our humble Northern Irish surroundings, we decided to hightail it to Madrid and record the album with our long time producer and friend Will Maya.  We arrived in Spain to the news that a week long fiesta was about to kick off involving a lot of singing, dancing, drinking and various other exotic festivities. It didn’t take us long to adapt to the local climate. The month that followed represents one of the most productive and enjoyable chapters in The Answer’s colourful history. We lived, laughed, cried, slept, ate, drank and most importantly worked our asses off in Will’s brand new studio and the music we laid down…well it just feels right…”
The Answer have also announced details of a full UK headline tour for March, kicking off with a “hometown” show at Belfast’s Limelight 2 on Friday March 6.  Full tour dates are as follows:
