BELFAST INSTORE The Answer are set to play their first ever instore at the Virgin Megastore in Belfast on June 18th. This will coincide with the re-issue of Rise which will be released on the same day. The band will play for 30 mins at 5pm on the day, a full electric set, and then they will hang around to meet you all and sign copies of the new version of Rise. This is the band's very first instore gig. It will be open to all ages and will be free to anyone who has a wristband. These can be collected on a first come first served basis from Virgin Megastore on the day of the show from 9am. Because some of you will not be able to get to the store we have kept 50 wristbands back for members of the forum, see posting on the forum about how to get a wrist band from the website.
RISE RE-ISSUE The releases section has full details of the running order of the new version so go check it out and have a listen on the radio player. The band have just finished editing the new video for Keep Believin which has been added to the video section and to the Answer's youtube channel, CLICK HERE and check it out.
