“Guitar Hero is all about the music,” says Tim Riley, worldwide head of Music, Activision. “Which is why events like the Listening Session at MIDEM are so important to us. We were very impressed by the quality of the entries, but ‘The Answer’ stood out, and was a clear favourite of our panel. We’re committed to searching for and partnering with great emerging bands like ‘The Answer’. They are a great addition to the Guitar Hero family, and we look forward to working with them through what should be their breakthrough year.”
Cormac Neeson, lead singer of The Answer added “It is a tremendous honour for The Answer to be involved with the whole Activision team and we really look forward to working closely with them. We’re sure our blend of high energy rock ‘n’ roll will fit perfectly with the Guitar Hero brand”
