In 1989 he became the singer of Inspiral Carpets , which became the most important band in the Madchester movement alongside the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays . They had 17 hits in the UK charts and recorded four albums, all of which were in the UK top 20.

After the breakup of the Inspiral Carpets , Tom Hingley joined the band The Lovers in 1995. They released the EP Work Rest & Play , but then went their separate ways.
