The News from Nowhere
The News from Nowhere is the third album released by the London-based indie pop band the Hoosiers. It was released in the UK on 14 April 2014. The album was released after their departure from their record label so on 17 September 2013, the Hoosiers sent an email out to their fans announcing the planned release of their new album The News From Nowhere. The news was accompanied by the release of the first single from this album, "Somewhere in the Distance", a few weeks later. The band said in the email:
“We're not a big record label with lots of money, though, so need to pay for the recording, manufacturing, adverts, videos, touring, promotion – all the stuff a label usually does – ourselves. This means that when we release an album, we give it 110%. Real blood, sweat, and tears. Personally, I don't think a lot of bands do that kind of thing anymore, certainly not in the successful indie rock scene.”
Because of this the band asked fans to order the album before its release. In return, the band offered fans the chance to appear in their videos, visit the studio and much more. The album was released on 14 April 2014.
