"So folks, we’re excited to announce that we’ve got this brand new record which we've been working on for the last six months and it’s just about ready to go," comments The Answer vocalist Cormac Neeson.  

"It's called Solas which is the Gaelic (Irish Language) word for Light and also the title of the lead track on the album. All I will say about this record is that it's a journey and one we've never really taken before so prepare yourselves for a few surprises. But don't worry they are ridiculously good surprises... well I think so anyway. Oh and we'll be giving you a few tasters of what's to come when we take to the stage this summer!"

"Solas is going to be released on October 14th, has been produced by our Rise producers Andy Bradfield and Avril Macintosh, and we’ve had a great time working with them again. It's all good people!"
