4 stars Music crack
With their tongues firmly planted in cheeks, the Hoosiers are a party for your ears. It's an 80's movement just begun but all freshened up and made new again. Prog rock this is not. If you want light-hearted, inoffensive to all (except the hopelessly cynical), happy music: this is it.

Though perhaps not the most original music, these lads add an energy and earnestness that gives every tune a shot of Red Bull and vodka. And it's addictive stuff. I dare you not to like this music!

3 stars Saw them on "Live at Abbey Road" and bought the CD
I like it alot. When I saw The Hoosiers on Live at Abbey Road I was pretty much "knocked out." Bought it on amazon the next day. Difference between CD and TV performance is the Tv was a couple of years later and the band has certainly improved. Look forward to another studio work. Maybe not as many super high vocal bits, I believe they work better when used economically. The singing is outstanding by the way.
