The Answer have revealed the title of their fifth studio album and announced details of a UK tour.

Raise A Little Hell will be released on the 9th of March via Napalm Records and the band will head out on tour across the UK from March the 6th.

Speaking to TeamRock, The Answer guitarist Paul Mahon said: “Our third album, Revival, wasn’t what people wanted from us. We paid a lot of attention to that and it set us on our way. On New Horizon we cleared the decks and the trauma of all the changes is behind us.

“We’re a lot more confident now – we’ve taken a few side roads to get where we want to be, but we’re here now and ready to deliver.

“The record has retained our heaviness, but we have more of the groove of the first two records. In 2015 we want to play to more people – and we’d like to show people we are still one of the best rock’n’roll bands in the business.”

The band will tour extensively behind the new release, with confirmed dates as follows:
