The Hoosiers (formerly The Hoosier Complex) started in 2007.
Original members Irwin Sparkes (lead vocals, lead guitar) and Alfonso Sharland (drums, percussion) took their moniker after leaving the outskirts of Reading, England, and embarking on a road trip throughout America, where they were offered football scholarships at the University of Indiana (the Hoosier-state).
Having gathered enough material to compile an album, Alphonso and Irwin returned to London where they met Martin Skarendahl (bass guitar, rhythm guitar), a Swedish ex-fireman who was then working as a recording studio engineer and studying at The London Music School
The Hoosiers' first two singles, Worried About Ray and Goodbye Mr. A peaked at the top five on the UK charts, debut album The Trick to Life went double-platinum upon its release in 2007.
The band have recently released their second album The Illusion of Safety preceded by lead single Choices.
