Formado em 1989 e inspirado pelos Stones Roses, o The Charlatans tinha o tecladista Rob Collins, o guitarrista Jon Baker, o baixista Martin Blunt e o baterista Jon Brookes, mas não haviam encontrado um vocalista. Depois de vários testes, Tim Burguess assumiu o microfone. Em 1990 lançaram o primeiro single, Indian Rope, pelo selo Dead Dead Good Records.
O que diferenciava o grupo, dos demais de Manchester, era o estilo dos teclados usados por Collins, fazendo com que Indian Rope chegasse ao primeiro posto das paradas indies.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
