I was more of a casual fan but I always loved a lot of their songs especially:

Lead singer Tom Hingley is still making music and touring. I saw him perform a week ago and he still belts out the old Inspirals stuff along with a few solo tracks.
He's on Facebook and Twitter, it's strange to be chatting via Facebook to a guy you've admired for years and always wanted to see. Tom has made 4 solo CD's and if you get in touch with him via FB or Twitter he'll send them to you at a fiver a go.
There's 5 solo tracks on his Reverb Nation page, I Was Wrong is great, very Inspiralish: http://www.reverbnation.com/tomhingley

It's annoying that artists like Tom aren't in the charts when Tinchy Stryder and N Dubz are.
One of the other CD's is called Too Much Texas and is an album of early Inspirals stuff. :cool:
Great wee pop songs, love the organ sound and the lead singer has an excellent voice.
I Want You with Mark E is particularly immense!
Not seen that CD for a couple of years, am gonna have to get a replacement copy now!
Were they big at the time?
I only ever really hear about The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays etc from that period, it's a shame they get overlooked.
Yes, they were on par with The Happy Mondays.
I think the reason they get a bit overlooked these days is because Tom Hingley isn't a wildman like Sean Ryder or Ian Brown.
Do like the feel to their overall sound.

They played a great set headlining Reading in 1991.
I highly recommend Soulfire :cool:
