The Hoosiers - The News From Nowhere
The News From Nowhere was the 2014 release from the band "The Hoosiers". The band made a name for itself back in 2007 with the release of the album "The Trick To Life". The album was a commercial success due to the singles "Goodbye Mr A" and also "Worried About Ray" unfortunately for the band this is still the most successful album they've had. "The Trick To Life" was popular due to it being chock full of earworm style songs that after one listen were stuck in your head for days!
The band decided to separate from Sony (Their record label) after becoming frustrated at the lack of promotion their 2nd album "The Illusion of Safety" received, as a result the band re-released the album under a new name and included a four extra different in the new re-released version. The unfortunate thing for the band was that neither release was particularly successful.
"The News from Nowhere" was released by the band without a record label which meant the band had some issues. Recording, manufacturing, promotion etc were usually all paid for by the record label however not having one means the band would have to find a way of financing the album. The Hoosiers decided the best method of doing this was by crowdfunding the various aspects of creating an album. The band used the fan email list to obtain the help of their loyal fans with financing the album. They used offers of being in videos, touring the studios, signed merchandise etc in order to entice the fans further. In 2014 after obtaining enough funding the band finally released the album "The News From Nowhere".
