The Anwering Machine
- The Answering Machine have released their “Obviously Cold” video. The UK band, comprised of Martin Colclough, Pat Fogarty, Gemma Evans and Ben Perry, completed their debut album Another City, Another Sorry on which Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers) produced.
“We’re still writing about drinking, sex and arguing but those things go so much deeper than surface level and it took us time to adjust to and understand that,” said Colclough. “We’ve had to redefine the boundaries of relationships, and master the act of survival which everyone our age is having to do. Ultimately we have written an album that we hope a generation and beyond will be able to identify with.”
