The Inspiral Carpets emerged, alongside bands like Stone Roses and Happy Mondays , from the Indie scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s . Their sound is based around harmonic (and often Psychedelic ) keyboards and jangly guitars. The band were propelled to fame after being 'discovered' by the Radio 1 DJ John Peel and had their greatest chart success in the UK with a single entitled 'This is How it Feels', which is a song about loneliness and unemployment. At the time of their initial success, the band earned some notoriety for their squiggly-eyed cow 'Cool as Fuck' T-shirts. One of their roadies, Noel Gallagher , went on to great success with the band Oasis . The band is named after a clothing store in the Oldham neighbourhood. They reworked their single "Find Out Why" as the theme tune to the ''''. After an amicable split in the Mid-nineties they re-formed with their Original Line-up in 2001 . This was backed with the release of a new single, a couple of sold-out tours and a number of new compilation records. BAND MEMBERS Early Line-up
