Jun 04, 06:16 PMLisbon + Other NewsTOUR NEWS - So sadly the band will not be supporting AC/DC tonight in Lisbon. There has been a very sad death within the family so the band have had to spend the last few days back in Belfast. The guys will be back on stage on Friday in Madrid. Other tour news, we are busy booking shows in America to go along with the dates we will be doing on the AC/DC Black Ice tour there, more news very soon. For those of you in the states we will trying to cover as many towns and cities as we can while we are there. The tickets for the Everyday Demons UK tour are selling well, more news on special guests soon. For the rescheduled UK shows in Brighton, Belfast, Glasgow and Nottingham there will be limited edition poster given out to the first 100 through the doors each night, a little thank you to the hard corps fans for having to rearrange these shows. The same poster will be on sale at the shows for any one who arrives late. There are a few returns for the shows in Nottingham and Brighton so if you missed out first time round give the venues a call now to grab the last few tickets. As I said more news here soon.
ALBUM / SINGLE NEWS - The re-issue of Everyday Demons will be out in main land Europe next week, see previous news story. The next single is TONIGHT which is released in the UK on June 28th now. The digital bundle will include unreleased versions of Tonight and Dead Of The Night. The version of Tonight is a great acoustic version and the version of Dead Of The Night is a live electric version. For the completists out there these will appear on cd later this year so dont sweat it.
OTHER NEWS - Our good friends at Across The Line on BBC Radio in Nortern Ireland rather rashly offered to let the band take over the show for the night, the results will be aired on June 8th at 8 pm until 10 pm. The show was prerecorded so they could edit out all the swearing!! Check it out if you can. If you miss it or live else where then you should be able to hear it at www.bbc.co.uk/atl the following day.
If you check out the forum there will be links there to view the new video and also an exclusive bit of film from the tour, check it out.

Dec 23, 04:08 PMChristmas MessageSo here we are again, the end of another year in the life of The Answer. For me these twelve months can be split into two parts. There was the first period in which we were vigorously attempting to create the album of the decade (while still maintaining our artistic integrity of course) and there was this second part which we're currently still very much engrossed in...a 42 date tour of the states with AC/DC.
We've made a lot of great friends along the way. There was The Answer's first pool party in Austin Texas back in March which was an eye opener to say the least. The six weeks spent in L.A. recording Everyday Demons was an intensely enjoyable experience we'll never forget. We even managed to squeeze a couple of Belfast gigs in, which as always did not disappoint. The Black Ice tour however which began way back in October and runs for the foreseeable future has been bigger, louder and more earth shatteringly rockin' than any project we have partaken in before. I think its safe to say that we're ready for a few Christmas pints in Quinns Bar Newcastle and a night in a proper bed.
As a final note before the festive spirit takes over in a hail of hot whiskies and pub sing songs I just want to say to all you loyal Answer supporters out there that we appreciate everything you have done and continue to do for us. You're the people that make it all possible and keep this boat afloat. We're gonna be squeezing in as many of our own headline shows in as we possibly can over the next few months so we'll see you soon. But in the meantime keep those everyday demons at bay and have a rockin Christmas. We love you!!! X

Aug 01 2008, 02:26 AMDecember Gigs + New Record NewsSo we have finally confirmed some shows for December, the band will be playing some UK shows as very special guests to Black Stone Cherry, see gig section for details. There will be more gigs added soon, we are just trying to work out schedules with regard to the new album. Keep an eye on the news page for more shows being added soon.
The band have been working hard in Los Angeles, honest! Keep an eye on the Nokia blog site for photos etc coming soon.

Jun 24 2008, 08:59 AMRecording News & MoreSo after four weeks of intense pre production in Ireland with the producer John Travis the band are on a plane to Los Angeles to start recording the follow up to Rise. There were a few delays due to visas and George Dubya, but they are on the way. If it all goes well we would expect to have a finished album by early August, we will keep you posted as to progress. The guys have the camera with them so keep an eye open for updates direct from the studio. Some of you who were lucky enough to go along to the Spring and Airbrake a few weeks ago will have heard some of the amazing songs that will be on the album.
If the recording all goes well we would expect to be releasing something this Autumn, also some of you will know that 'Never Too Late' is due to appear in the next Guitar Hero game. With that in mind we will be announcing a run of european dates for november or december, news on this will be announced here very soon. The dates will take in most major uk and european cities.
For those of you who did not see the Other Voices TV show filmed in Ireland then you can now go to the website and see highlights, click here if you wanna have a look. It is well worth it.
Finally the new vault / gig archive will be live within a week so look out for it and if you spot any errors or missing gigs or set lists do let us know. The more we get from you guys the better it will be.
