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 George Young) and Neal Calderwood from the band's hometown.

Tracks released from the album were "Never Too Late", "Into The Gutter", "Under The Sky", "Come Follow Me" and "Be What You Want".[8]

Their website initially stated that Rise should have been released in the United States by December 2010.[9] 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.
