English musical project led by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Mike Skinner. The project was founded in the early 90s, while Skinner was still a teenager; however, no music would formally eventuate until the early 2000s. In the initial run of The Streets, the project released five studio albums: Original Pirate Material, A Grand Don't Come for Free, The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living, Everything Is Borrowed and Computers and Blues. The Streets also released a string of successful singles during this time, which reached the Top 40 on the UK Singles chart - including "Has It Come to This?", "Fit but You Know It", "Dry Your Eyes", "When You Wasn't Famous" and "Prangin' Out"..
