THE ANSWER Drummer Talks About Touring With AC/DC, Sharing Tips With PHIL RUDD

June 29, 2009

U.K.'s Rhythm magazine conducted an interview with drummer James Heatley of the Irish rock band THE ANSWER at this year's Download festival, which was held June 12-14 at Donington Park, United Kingdom. The four-minute clip, which features Heatley talking about touring with AC/DC and sharing tips with Phil Rudd, can be viewed below.

THE ANSWER was recently forced to cancel two U.S. club shows due to Heatley breaking his hand. The group has been touring with rock 'n' roll heavyweights AC/DC and was due to hit Los Angeles (April 29 at The Troubadour) and New York City (May 2 at Don Hill's).

THE ANSWER will return to the U.S. to tour this summer and will reschedule the Los Angeles and New York shows.

"Everyday Demons", the new album from THE ANSWER, was released digitally on March 10 exclusively at iTunes. The digital copy includes two bonus studio tracks — the Celtic thumper "Lost" and "Revolutions", along with a live version of "Under The Sky" and a digital CD booklet featuring an alternate cover. The album was released in physical retail outlets March 31 on The End Records, distributed through RED. The CD was produced by John Travis (KID ROCK, STATIC-X, etc.) and mixed by Tim Palmer and Mike Fraser (who recently mixed AC/DC's "Black Ice").
