The Hoosiers - Trick to Life

2007 debut album that follows the huge UK success of their singles 'Worried About Ray' and 'Goodbye Mr. A'. The Trick to Life is an album filled with upbeat treats, as well as glimpses of a deeper, darker edge. On tracks like 'Run Rabbit Run' and 'A Sadness Runs Through Him', Irwin's soaring, jaw-droopingly powerful vocals lead listeners through a maze of melodic mayhem, with influences ranging from the Cure through to Supertramp, laced with some early Genesis (the bible verse not the band). However, fans of 'Worried About Ray' need fear not, for 'Worst Case Scenario', the somewhat sinister 'Killer', and title track 'The Trick to Life', punctuate the album's uncompromising landscape with literally tens of minutes of rich and compelling music, which will have you bouncing around your bedroom and/or living room.
