The Hoosiers were formed in 2003 by Irwin Sparkes (lead vocals, lead guitar), Alan Sharland (drums, percussion, vocals) and Martin Skarendagh (bass). The band's first single, Worried About Ray, reached No.5 on the UK Singles Chart and their debut album, The Trick to Life, reached No.1 in the album charts when it was released that October.
The band released their second top 10 album The Illusion of Safety in 2010. This was followed by The News from Nowhere in 2014.
In July 2015, Skarendah left the band in what was described by the remaining members as "one of the most amicable decisions in music history".
Latest album, The Secret Service, then followed.
