Rise is the debut album by Northern Ireland rock band The Answer. It has sold in excess of 30,000 copies in the UK & Europe and 10,000 on day one in Japan.
The album was recorded at Olympic Studio 1, Monnow Valley in Wales and the Albert Studio in London during the fall of 2005. Produced by Andy Bradfield and Avril MacKintosh, the Albert Productions team (with back room production from the legendary George Young) and Neal Calderwood from the Bands hometown.
Tracks released from the album were Never Too Late, Into The Gutter, Under The Sky, Come Follow Me and Be What You Want.
Their website initially stated that the Rise album should have been released in the United States by December 2010. However, since signing with Napalm Records, they have announced that Re-Releases of The Answer's back catalogue will be released in the United States and other key territories in the near future. It was eventually released in the US in late 2013.
A special edition version of the album was released on 17 June 2007 under the name "Rise: Special Edition". It contained two discs, with the first being the original "Rise" track listing, and the second being a collection of B-Sides, live recordings, as well as some acoustic sessions. It was given four out of five stars by TheMusicZine.
The live versions of "Come Follow Me", "Sometimes Your Love" and "Be What You Want/Moment Jam" are also available on the Everyday Demons special edition CDs.
