The Hoosiers hit the road in support of a stellar new album.
'THE NEWS FROM NOWHERE', the follow-up to top 10 albums 'THE TRICK TO LIFE' and 'THE ILLUSION OF SAFETY', was produced by the band themselves, and recorded in the East London warehouse where bassist Martin Skarendahl has amassed a vast collection of vintage recording equipment and instruments.� There's no doubt about it - 'The News From Nowhere' is an astonishing return to form, matching the high watermarks of singles like Worried About Ray and 'Goodbye Mr. A '.
"Doing it on our own terms," says lead singer Irwin Sparkes, "and actually having a proper say in it, felt wonderful. We have nothing to lose, but a lot to prove." From the opening bars of 'Somewhere in the Distance' to the closing notes of 'Nathan's Loft', The News From Nowhere is the sound of a band who have rediscovered what they love about music, and why they need to make it together. Gone is the self-consciousness of the dog days around their second album; gone, too, the self-doubt. In their place is a deeply rooted - and hard-won - confidence, and a determination to lock back in to the freedom and joy of the early days.
Don't miss this revitalised band performing singalong classics and much-anticipated new material with trademark vigour and energy.
