It was named after a rug shop in Shaw. The band's classic line-up featured founding members drummer Craig Gill and guitarist Graham Lambert along with keyboardist Clint Boon, frontman Tom Hingley, and bassist Martyn Walsh.
The band originated with vocalist Stephen Holt (vocals) and guitarist Graham Lambert. Another uncredited founding member, was basist Glenn Chesworth. His partnership with the band lasted only a couple of years. The band emerged alongside The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays from the indie scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Bassist, Martyn Walsh, and drummer, Craig Gill, joined in 1984. Playing garage rock, they were joined by keyboardist, Clint Boon, who changed their sound based around harmonic (and often psychedelic) keyboards and jangly guitars.
After a couple of singles on a local indie label, Holt left the group and was replaced by Tom Hingley. 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; a student at Oxford Polytechnic was prosecuted on obscenity charges for wearing one. One of their roadies, Noel Gallagher, went on to great success with the band Oasis. The band is named after an Inspiral Carpets tour poster which included the venue Swindon Oasis.
They reworked their single Find Out Why as the theme tune to early 90's kids TV show 'The 8:15 From Manchester'. Another release I Want You was used by Sony to advertise their in-car entertainment systems on this advert ; an early example of advertising agencies co-opting and promoting non-mainstream music to add kudos to mainstream brands (a trend that has increased significantly).
After the release of their 4th studio album, Devil Hopping, they started to record new, more darker-sounding demos in 1995 which their label, Mute Records rejected. An amicable split followed but they re-formed in 2003 for a tour and new compilation. For the next several years, they played gigs on and off, until Hingley could no longer give his 100% commitment so original vocalist, Stephen Holt, rejoined in March 2011.

Day is gone and night comes in, you leave me feeling wanting more
Waiting here expecting you, you throw me out without a word
Feeling's gone but the pain returns, kind of thing I can't recall
Window's shut and the door is locked
Hear your voice at the back of the room
Stare right through the sight of you, you keep hidden from the light
The harder I try, the more it seems to take
The more I try, it gets further away
The harder I try, the more it seems to take
The more I try, it gets further away (3x)
It gets further away, further away (4x) It gets
(Further away) (4x)
Mind says everything's over but my body knows that there's more to come
Changing all your alibis, walking out to catch the bus
Open your eyes to a brand new world, you're in my arms and dropping down
Keeping secrets in your eyes, find me with the sun on my face
Burn me with the things that you say, you keep hidden from the light
The harder I try, the more it seems to take
The more I try, it gets further away
The harder I try, the more it seems to take
The more I try, it gets further away (3x)
It gets further away, further away (4x) It gets
(Further away) (4x)
The harder I try, the more it seems to take
The more I try, it gets further away
The harder I try, the more it seems to take
The more I try, it gets further away (3x)
It gets further away, further away (4x)
The harder I try
Harder I try (6x)
Harder I try (It Gets) (4x)
Further away, further away
It gets further away, further away (3x)
It gets further and further and further
And further and further away, it gets further away
It gets further and further and further
And further and further away, it gets further away
It gets further and further and further
And further and further away, it gets further away

This song live was unreal. Those days were so good ❤

It gets further and further and further
And further and further away, it gets further away
