Most commonly associated with trip-hop, Sneaker Pimps might have had their path to the mainstream eased by the likes of Massive Attack, Tricky, and Portishead, but they have set themselves apart from those fellow British acts with a unique mix of pop, glam, and dark post-punk flowing through their sound. Together with first vocalist Kelli Ali, producers Liam Howe and Chris Corner -- the core of Sneaker Pimps -- achieved repeat U.K. Top 40 success highlighted by the number nine hit "6 Underground," the biggest hit off their gold-certified debut album, Becoming X (1996). Following a pair of Corner-fronted Sneaker Pimps LPs, Splinter (1999) and Bloodsport (2002), Howe and Corner moved on to a vast assortment of other studio work over the next two decades, but they resumed the group with the addition of Simonne Jones and have recorded the fourth Sneaker Pimps album, Squaring the Circle (2021).
