I finally managed to see that new Irish band The Answer last night in Glasgow. This was the Kerrang Most Wanted Tour and there were 2 bands on before The Answer. First band was called Scare and they were pretty good in the Primal Scream type mode, not exactly my type of rock but they were good enough. A very young band and very very energetic, the whole band was jumping and bouncing about the stage like nobody's business and in fact the singer actually jumped off the stage at one point and was walking around the hall still singing the song, so that was quite cool.
Second band were called Sign and as soon as I saw the singer coming on stage with a flying V I thought, hey these guys look as if they're about to rawk!!! They were amazing, again a very young band but that singer was totally incredible and all their songs were excellent. The singer looked a bit like a young Michael Monroe of Hanoi Rocks but with such a powerful and totally sensational voice. Wow could that guy scream or could that guy scream lol!!!! Very loud and very heavy but typical classic rock style band. I'd definitely check them out again.
And then The Answer came on - a lot of folk had been telling me to go see them and thank god I did - they were mindblowing, I was completely stunned by the performance they gave. They were on for about an hour and a half and all their songs are superb. They are very like a very bluesy Zeppelin/Black Crowes and, the singer has got one of the best voices I've ever heard, they really did blow me away with their performance. They all looked like they were having a ball and although a very young band, they rocked the whole place into the ground. And again I was right down at the front of the stage, no barrier there anyway, but the singer came right over to me and sang a few words of the song right into my face - this is the last 3 bands that I've seen where the singers have all done this to me. Wow I am loving all this attention I'm getting from these rockstars hehehe!!!
These guys are going to be HUGE and I'll be seeing them again in a couple of weeks when they support Whitesnake, so can't wait to see them again. I'd only heard a few of their songs before the concert but last night the songs I knew of they played Keep Believing, No Questions Asked, Preachin, Only the Strong Survive, Rock Bottom Blues, they played lots more but I don't know what they were called and they finished with Into the Gutter which was totally tremendous..
Honestly watching The Answer last night was like someone years ago watching Led Zeppelin play in a wee bar before they hit the big time!!!!.
If you want to hear what they sound like, you can hear a few clips on their site and if they ever play anywhere near you, do not miss seeing The Answer cos they are immense live.
