Pills ’n’ Thrills and Bellyaches is the second studio album by English alternative rock band Happy Mondays, released in 1990. The album marked a significant shift in the band's sound, blending elements of rock, funk, and dance music, which became characteristic of the Madchester scene. With its infectious grooves and vivid lyrics, the album is often regarded as a seminal work that encapsulated the spirit of the late 80s and early 90s in the UK music scene. The album features hit singles such as 'Step On' and 'Kinky Afro', which helped to solidify the band's reputation and influence on future genres, including Britpop and alternative rock.
