Prolapse formed in Leicester in the early 90s and are now spread across the UK and Scandinavia. Still pursuing their own path of repetition and twisted melodies, they merge influences from post punk to krautrock and even folk. Their previous releases have included numerous singles and four albums on various labels, including Cherry Red and Radar. They feature vocalists Mick Derrick and Linda Steelyard, whose intense duelling vocals combine with ferocious triple guitar assault and pummelling rhythms. Prolapse carved out their own shrieking corner of the '90s underground, where collapsing noise, motorik rhythms, and art-rock dissonance converged into something volatile and singular. While the shadow of The Fall looms large—particularly in the sardonic sprechgesang of Mick Derrick—the band veered into darker, more fractured territory, buoyed by a Glaswegian snarl that refused to play second fiddle. At the heart of their chaotic charm was the tense, almost theatrical push-and-pull between Derrick and Linda Steelyard, whose vocal exchanges oscillated between wry antagonism and a sort of desperate communion. It wasn’t always pretty, but it was rarely dull. The fifth Prolapse album “I Wonder When They’re Going to Destroy Your Face” will be released on Tapete Records and marks the bands first new recordings since their last album, “Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes”, released 26 years ago.
