The Hoosiers

The Hoosiers

Okay, maybe it's a good time to get this obsession out of the way. And boy, was I obsessed. I don't even know...I can't even remember how I first got into them...I think it was hearing their stuff on the radio over and over again.
Their first album was quite something, it was brilliant, I loved it. Then they said they would go darker and edgier, and after nearly four years of waiting  for this "darker, edgier sound", and poppy single 'Choices', they come out with 'The Illusion of Safety'. Now, it's alright, but its in no way dark or edgy. If anything it's a collaboration of the sounds from Girls Aloud, and other mainstream, pop artists, with only a slight tilt of independence. The most unusual song on the album would be 'Little Brutes', and it's probably my favourite because it's not as poppy. I mean, don't get me wrong, I still love their debut album; 'The Trick To Life', because that has some crazy shit on it! Their first album has so much more to offer me, and the second one disappointed me quite a bit, I don't think I've played it since I got it, which was before the actual release date, because I got a special edition 3D-cover one, 'cause I'm cool. 


My favourite songs by these guys would have to be either 'Killer' or 'The Trick To Life'.

The next video is a song of their second album; 'The Illusion of Safety'.

It sounds like Girls Aloud doing the Never Ending Story theme tune...

Anyway. I went to see The Hoosiers live on 21st October 2008, and it was really good, I got right to the front as well. But it was very different to seeing Muse, sure there was flashing lights and a whole bunch of randomness, but it wasn't as epic or grandiose. I mean, they sounded great, they interacted with the audience, they did everything right, and it was great. I also took some pictures. On my old phone...which nearly died.
