Irish rockers THE ANSWER have announced the release of a new EP named after their previously unreleased track ‘Rise’.

The new Rise EP will be out July 2nd.

It will consist of a new 2012 radio edit mix of 'Rise', an extended full length version, a very special acoustic/orchestral version and a brand new mix of another rockin' gem called 'Lost'.

According to THE ANSWER, ‘Rise’ "is different to anything you may have heard from us in the past and we love it!

To mark the occasion we'll be playing a special one off performance of the Rise album from start to finish in Belfast's Empire Music Hall on July 5th.
