The Answer were formed in 2000 by guitarist Paul Mahon. In late June 2000, the four of them got together for their debut rehearsal. 2001 was spent writing, rehearsing, gigging locally and building up a set. In 2005, 'Classic rock' magazine voted The Answer as 'Best New Band 2005', which brought them even more exposure. They supported Deep Purple at an intimate show at the London Astoria on 17 January, 2006.
Afterwards came their debut album Rise, released on 26 June 2006. The album received rave reviews from Kerrang! and The Sun amongst others, and was nominated for Classic Rock magazine's 'Album Of The Year' and "Best British Newcomer" in the 2006 Kerrang! awards.
The Answer played several festivals over the summer months, as well as a support slot with Whitesnake throughout their UK tour. The summer of 2007 also saw the band support The Rolling Stones at huge open-air gigs in Belgrade (Serbia), and Dusseldorf (Germany), and The Who in Dublin (Ireland). Later they went to L.A. to record their second album with John Travis. Everyday Demons is now commercially available worldwide. The Answer is currently the opening act for AC/DC's Black Ice World Tour.
Hun muziek is te omschrijven als een mix tussen Led Zeppelin, AC/DC en een flinke scheut Black Crowes. De zanger, Cormac Neeson, krijst af en toe net zoals Robert Plant en op het podium heeft hij wel wat Plant-trekjes. Soms misschien wat téveel van het goeie, maar boeie. Ik vind het een gave band. Niet al te vernieuwend, maar lekkere classic rock in 2009.
