The Answer.Perhaps you've heard these lads on XM or during non-rotation hours on MTV or VH1. You definitely haven't heard them the radio because, well, the radio doesn't play shit for music these days.
Drawing heavily from Zeppelin's crushing groove from the early 70's, this Irish quartet is poised on the brink of super stardom. So much so that they've even raised the eyebrow of one Mr. Jimmy Page, who effused, "If you want to see what Zeppelin was like in their glory days, go see The Answer." Some hearty praise, indeed.
Combining soaring, bluesy vocals with a classic Marshall guitar sound and a thunderous back-beat, the Answer's latest (5) song EP steamrolls through power cut after power cut, leaving no doubt as to their ability to deliver the groceries. Smart song-writing and an impressive band dynamic lend to an authentic classic rock listening experience.
I grabbed my copy of The Answer's EP off of Amazon.com, and it came with an extremely cool rockumentary DVD that included a video of "Never Too Late", as well as a live cut or two.
I've seen / heard a lot of up-and-coming acts that have been touted as the next coming of Led Zeppelin. Realistically speaking - that ain't never gonna' happen. But believe me - The Answer has come about as close as anybody in the post-Zeppelin era to actually achieving that status. As far as 70's power rock is concerned, present day, this is the top of the misty mountain. - - J.
