Rocktober '00s Song #19: "Demon Eyes" by The Answer (2009)

Northern Ireland's The Answer formed in the early '00s and put out their debut album, Rise, in 2006.  Their follow-up, 2009's Everyday Demons, was the first full-length album by the band that was available in the U.S.

The band played hard rock, clearly influenced by the likes of Led Zeppelin and AC/DC.  Everyday Demons is a great album, full of fantastic guitars, pounding and driving rhythms, and great rock vocals -- and the first track on the album, "Demon Eyes" is a great example of what the band is all about.  It starts with a short intro with only swirling guitars and vocals, feeding your anticipation, before the song explodes into action.  It's a frantic, fast-paced hard rocker with a great driving riff and a soaring guitar solo, about people who pretend to be your friends but are actually talking shit about you behind your back.  They're not friends at all, but instead demons.
