90s indie band look unrecognisable 25 years after releasing hit single – but can YOU guess who it is?

A 1990s indie band looked almost unrecognizable 25 years after releasing their hit Brimful of Asha.

When the single was first released in 1997, it only reached number 60 on the UK Singles Chart.

But when legendary DJ Fatboy Slim remixed the song the following year, it became an iconic song.

The song was even played on a 1998 episode of Friends, The One With The Fake Party.

But can you guess who it is?

That’s right, it’s Tjinder Singh and Ben Ayres who formed the ’90s band Cornershop.

Their music is a fusion of Indian music, indie rock, alternative and electronic dance music.

The duo has continued to release music, but unfortunately has not been able to repeat their initial success.

Their official Instagram page has 3,500 followers, where they regularly post music throwbacks and London snaps.

In 2011, Cornershop received an award for Commitment to Scene at the UK Asian Music Awards.

The band released their latest album England Is A Garden in 2020.

They told The Quietus at the time: ‘With this album we knew we had to wait for a better time before it would be received.

“A few years ago this wouldn’t have been the case and even when it was finished it took a while to master it and get it into production as things change.”

After the album came out, Cornershop revealed in an interview with The Guardian that they are not going anywhere.

They thought about it a few years ago and then they realized something important. “It’s not about skill, it’s about what you can do with it, and it’s about attitude.”

“And the ideas,” Ayres adds. “The ideas,” Singh repeats. “You know, there’s no real closet for us to go into. We are constantly misfiled. That makes it more difficult for us. But isn’t there something brilliant in that too?’
