Hoosier Daddy?

The Hoosiers came out with their debut album last year, called The Trick to Life. It's an indie pop rock album, from three guys that formed a band that used to be known as The Hoosier Complex.

Under their Wikipedia entry it says, "the band claims to create a sound that they call 'we want to be indie but we're not cool enough', combining a number of musical genres." Some of the band's influences include The Cure, The Flaming Lips, and Jeff Buckley. "Worried about Ray" is their first hit single, even though they've caught some slack for it resembling The Turtles' song "Happy Together".

The band's next single also did very well. "Goodbye Mr. A" appears in the game FIFA 08. Taking their coolness further, two of the members are seen playing the video game in the band's music video. AND, the song is also in a trailer for the super awesome movie "Juno".

An article from RCA describes The Hoosiers as "Funky, catchy, and oh-so radio friendly they sound like the Kooks and Franz Ferdinand having a montage moment in an 80s film of their night out." I love that sentence because I love the Kooks and FF. That sentence just sounds like a wild, fun party! To me, the band even remind me a little bit of fellow newcomers "Vampire Weekend". But, if you want to read a humorous and entertaining article while learning more about the trio, read the RCA one I just mentioned here.

Now the band is back from their tour in the UK with their fourth single from The Trick to Life. The third is "Worst Case Scenario" but the newest track "Cops and Robbers" is set to "officially" be released on Monday. It's a pretty cool tune. In fact, I think they all are.
