The second worst band in the world release a record we quite like SHOCKER.

We had been wondering why our friends at Popjustice were organising a gig by The Hoosiers and proclaiming their new single ‘Choices’ to be “amazing”.

We figured it was probably either a hilariously ironic joke or that we’d entered some kind of Doctor Who-type parallel universe (the one where Karen Gillan is naked at all times). We’ve now heard The Hoosiers single and bugger us sideways if it isn’t actually really good.

In an interesting and wise career move the band we’d once have happily thrown out of the pop lifeboat once we’d drowned Scouting For Girls have reinvented themselves as A BAND WHO AREN’T RUBBISH.

Someone in our office said it reminded them of Frankmusik and that’s not far off. It’s got a bit of Human League about it too (when they went really poppy) and maybe a little bit of Mika if he wasn’t such a shrieking cunt.

That’s sold it to you, hasn’t it?

It’s not out until July 26 so you’ve got plenty of time to think about how you feel about all this.
