"The Answer"- 4 guys from Belfast.

I was surfing through DirectTV channels this weekend and caught these guys of DirectTV concert series(101). These guys are awesome. Kind of a throwback to classic rock with some modern day flair. Cormac Neesan the lead singer has powerful vocals and great stage presence. If you get a chance give them a listen.

Dont know if you can find it on youtube, but I was MESMERIZED by these guys playing "Never Too Late" on the David Letterman show.

Yes - great old school style rock and roll band.

The first thing that has really grabbed my attention in a long time....

Some will say "derivative" of Led Zeppelin (?), but hearing anything like this these days is a welcome and refreshing change.

That was a very compassionate retraction during the holiday season.

But would it be safe to assume that you don't listen to a lot of rap music and/or havent seen MTV in the last 20 years or so?

Because if you had, you might think The Answer was the second coming, and not just a Led Zep rip off.

And despire the similarities, they somehow struck me as sincere and unpretentious, which was one of the reasons they grabbed my attention.

Lindisfarne, I wasn't looking to replace my old Led Zeppelin music either, but perhaps the rest of their music lives up to some praise, as suggested by Zigonht.
