(not be confused with bands called The Answers)
1) Classic rock band from Northern Ireland
2) Hardcore band from Seattle, WA, USA
3) Thrash metal band from Dallas, TX, USA
4) Garage band from the US
5) Hardcore band from Lima, Peru
--==--
(1) -The Answer hail from Newcastle and Downpatrick, County Down, Northern Ireland, producing a classic rock sound with big guitars and even bigger vocals. They won Classic Rock Magazine's, Best New Band of 2005 award.
Obviously influenced by 70s hard rock artists like Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy and Deep Purple and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, singer Cormac Neeson's powerful vocals are reminiscent of Robert Plant, Paul Rodgers or Ronnie James Dio. When playing live they produce a varied set, combining hard rock songs with modernised blues covers.
The band played at a Phil Lynott memorial benefit gig in Dublin, as Lynott’s mother is a big fan. So big in fact that she allowed bass player Micky Waters to be the first since Lynott’s death to open his case and play the legendary black bass within. It’s the same instrument that appears in the music video for Keep Believin'.
The song "Never Too Late" is a playable song in Guitar Hero IV (Video Game).
Cormac Neeson - Vocals

New Album News – So the new album is called ‘Revival’ as you well may know by now. It was produced by the Grammy-nominated Chris ‘Frenchie’ Smith, and was mixed by Chris Sheldon. It will be released in Europe on October 3rd 2011. The initial run of the album will be a limited edition deluxe format with 24-page booklet & band sleeve-notes, plus an 11-track second disc containing previously unreleased studio, acoustic, demo & cover material. The band had a really hard time condensing the songs to one 12 track album so hence the bonus disc of extra material. The full track-listing is as follows:-
Waste Your Tears ~ Use Me ~ Trouble ~ Nowhere Freeway ~ Tornado ~ Vida (I Want You) ~ Caught On The Riverbed ~ Destroy Me ~ New Day Rising ~ Can’t Remember, Can’t Forget ~ One More Revival ~ Lights Are
Down.
The second CD is called After The Revival and the tracks are as follows:-
Piece By Piece ~ Faith Gone Down ~ Nowhere Freeway (live acoustic) ~ Tailspin ( Renegade Demo ) ~ Fire And Water (cover of the Free classic) ~ What I Am ( Demo ) ~ Caught On The Riverbed (live acoustic) ~ The Enemy (demo) ~ Show Me The World (demo) ~ One More Revival(live acoustic) ~ Lights Are Down ( Piano + Vocal version ).
(5) - The Answer - Hardcore from Lima Peru, with one demo entitled "Juventud Violenta" out now on their Bandcamp.

Great Song, great live band....This Band really deserves more thumbs up!
William Dirkin
saw them in glasgow the other day, absolutely brilliant!
Harman Belzeboob
Half agreed. They still "rock" but... I saw them live 2007 after first album release and did not listen the record almost a year after that. Even it is great one. But live... Man they were awesome. Reminded me of Black Crowes from same stage some 15 years earlier (also after first album). Definitely a live band. ps. If you have not checked out Swedish hairy boys, you maybe should. Kamchatka, Graveyard and Horisont for example.
Lord Gallvion
Who dislikes a song like this. What syphoned the soul from your bones.

I watched Milkman 2 by FreddieW while listening to this. It was spectacular!
Holger Hahn
As soon as a "tough" metal guy hears rock music, it sound like Nickelback to him. I met so many clueless Metal Heads!
Maxi Muss
For everybody: this is one of the best newcomerbands with a singer who sing with his soul, I was so luky I went to a conz from Mr. Big in Hamburg, the groop bevor was the answer, I was so surprised case I havend known, I selebrated it so nice because I like them, but thats not all, later Cormac Neeson stand right at my side to listen Mr Big, I talked to him and he is a very interesting man! What a nice experience! I was lucky! And all they don`t like them, go away and shut the fuck up!
Steven Docherty
Not their best but it is a grower. Many of their songs take a couple of listens.
Arno Willems

More likely "Crap-tacular"! What is going on with all those brilliant bands these days? I mean, have you heard the first two records of these guys? I can't believe they actually wrote this song. To me it's like Rebecca Black with some kind of manly-ish device between her theighs or just shallow high school pop.They were so good. Gladly there's still Rival Sons for good classic rock outputs to look forward to! I haven't heard the whole album, just this, does it all blend with radio music so well.
