Artist: The Hoosiers

Biography:

A U.K.-based trio that started out life as a duo, the Hoosiers (originally known as the Hoosier Complex) released their first two singles and U.K. number one album The Trick to Life in 2007. Original members Irwin Sparkes (guitar and vocals) and Alfonso Sharland (drums) took their united moniker after leaving the outskirts of Reading, England, on a road trip that found them being offered football scholarships at the University of Indiana (whose mascot happens to be the Hoosier). Upon returning from their travels, they added Martin Skarendahl on bass and would eventually sign a deal with RCA. Their first two singles, "Worried About Ray" and "Goodbye Mr. A," reached the number five spot and number four spot on the U.K. charts, respectively, and their debut full-length, The Trick to Life, was released in October of the same year.
