10 Songs By The Answer You Need To Listen To
5. Solas
If you want to hear a band taking their unique and beloved style, and completely changing it then you need to listen to Solas.
Coming from the upcoming 6th studio album of the same name, "Solas" is something totally different from The Answer. With their new album taking influences from the band's Irish roots, and all sorts of Irish myths and legends, we as a fan base knew that this wouldn't be the standard rock n' roll affair that we have all come to expect and love, but I don't think anyone was prepared for just how much of a change it would be, whilst still sounding like The Answer.
With an atmospheric tone throughout the track, it sounds incredibly ominous and in all honesty eerie. It also has an underlying feel of Led Zeppelin about it, and for a rock n' roll band, I don't think there is a much higher accolade you can bestow upon them than that.
As I said before, they are not afraid of experimentation, and this is something so far from anything they have ever produced previously, but it's amazing. They continue to play with their signature sound and this latest direction showcases how good these guys are at writing songs.
