Inspiral Carpets are a defining band of the Madchester scene, known for their blend of psychedelic rock and jangly pop. Formed in the 1980s, the band gained a dedicated following with hits like “This Is How It Feels” and “Saturn 5”. Their distinctive sound, driven by Clint Boon’s signature Farfisa organ, set them apart from their contemporaries. Albums such as Life and Revenge of the Goldfish earned them both commercial success and critical acclaim, solidifying their place in British rock history.
Inspiral Carpets have played extensively across the UK, headlining venues like the Manchester Academy and performing at major festivals such as T in the Park. Despite some line-up changes over the years, the band’s live performances continue to draw crowds, keeping their anthemic hits alive. They remain an influential force, celebrating a legacy of music that resonates with fans of all ages.
