2. The Hoosiers
The Hoosiers are an English indie
pop/rock band with members Irwin
Sparkes(lead vocalist), Martin
Skarendahl(bass guitar) and Alan
Sharland(drums). They released their
first song „Worried about Ray‟ in July
2007, which was included in their debut
album „The Trick to Life‟. Sharland and
Sparkes went to Indiana together,
encouraging the bands‟ name: citizens of
Indiana are colloquially called „Hoosier‟.
At this point there were 4 band
members, but with two dropping out,
they replaced them with Skarendahl
whom they met in London. Together,
they released 3 albums to date.
5. The Script
There are three band members:
Danny O‟Donoghue, the lead
vocalist, Glen Power, the drummer,
and Mark Sheenan, the guitarist.
They formed in Dublin, under the
name „mytown‟. The trio were
quickly noticed by major record
labels and were invited over to the
US to record with big names. The
Scripts debut single „We Cry‟ topped
the Irish charts. They went on to
release other hits such as „The Man
Who Can‟t Be Moved‟ and
„Breakeven‟. Their songs represent
sad love stories and are often of the
indie pop-rock genre.
8. The Kooks
The Kooks are an British band that
produce songs of the indie rock and Brit-
pop genre. The band consists of Luke
Pritchard (lead vocalist), Hugh Harris (lead
guitarist), Peter Garred (drummer) and
Peter Denton (bass guitarist). Self
confessed, their songs are primarily
influenced by the British Invasion- when
British pop rock bands started becoming
known in the United States, and therefore
mainstream (for example, the Beatles).
They formed in 2002 after meeting in their
university and named themselves “The
Kooks” by taking influence from David
Bowie‟s song “Kooks”. Three months after
forming, they signed a record label of
commitment to Virgin records.
