THE HOOSIERS - Cops and Robbers

TH3 CURE - WHY CANT I BE YOU? Remember that song when it came out? I know I wasn't ready to see my Goth heroes glammed out with a jazzy horn section. I still don't understand the furry bear suit Robert Smith was wearing. I recall that video and song leaving me very confused and befuddled.

That is how I feel about The Hoosiers. I don't get it at first but it is a hybrid of somekind. Call me crazy but I can pick up a bit of Maroon 5 in here.... and a yearning to be memorable. At parts this song tries too hard but it is catchy.... and yes it does remind me of the Cure.... I'm thinking Lovecats... but that is really not it either.

Somehow all this bouncing around from note to note has made this song likeable. But they are cues pulled in from likeable material you have no doubt heard before. Still, I must say, I find these guys a wee bit interesting.

Enough for a second listen in any case !
