    Sneaker Pimps were a trip-hop/alternative band that originated in England in 1994, initially consisting of Chris Corner (guitars), Kelli Ali (vocals), Liam Howe (synth), David Westlake (drums) and Joe Wilson (bass). They released their first album, Becoming X, in 1996 to mass acclaim. After touring, they decided to change their style and did so, going from a trip-hop band to an alternative band. They released their second album, Splinter, in 1999, only to be met with a wave of They Changed It, Now It Sucks from people who liked their trip-hop style and preferred Kelli as the singer. Undaunted, they continued onward and released Bloodsport, their final album, in 2003. The band split up after their fourth album was rejected and the members moved on to different careers.
