The Answer, Dingwalls 12.2.09.

The Answer, after supporting AC/DC in the USA and later on over here are ‘Rock next big thing’. Seen them a couple of times before supporting their first album, Rise. This time they were premiering songs from their second album, Everyday Demons, released in March. This was very loud and I was a little deaf the next day.
We had a few pints in the nearby Wetherspoons and got in the venue, which was heaving. It was sold out after all. Some of rocks journalists, such as Dave Ling, were seen propping up the bar as we made our way towards the front.
Some impressive guitar playing and vocals from Comac Neeson, things started impressively with ‘Never Too Late’ being a highlight. Unfortunately, whilst continuing to sound good, loud, heavy and rock, the songs then seemed to merge into one. It was only in the set closer ‘Under The Sky’ there was a memorable chorus that you could sing along to. Whilst a talented band, and the best new one of the rock genre for a while, you were left feeling that if they had some decent pop songs they could be much better. Still that may just be the unfamiliarity of the new stuff. I have the album on pre-order and will give it a chance before seeing them again at the o2 as the support!
