Download: The Answering Machine – “Another City, Another Sorry” + tour dates

Following in a line of humongously talented punk-inspired pop bands from the UK (cf. The Rakes, The Futureheads, et al.), Manchester-based The Answering Machine are a perfect dose of straight-ahead, fun-as-shit rock 'n' roll.  The foursome mimic the sound of a teenage scream, an all-night party with a sunrise at the end.  It makes total sense, too, since these guys (and girl) don't seem to be much above their teenage years.  In May, they'll release their debut LP, Another City, Another Sorry and they'll be playing a short United Kingdom tour starting next month.
