Headfirst Editor's Pick
"One of the most underrated UK bands of the 90s, Prolapse revisit their signature spikey compound of driving post-punk, janky krautrock, and sweeping shoegaze, existing in a hallowed space somewhere between The Delgados and The Fall. A big deal in our world, and FFO: Life Without Buildings, Arab Strap, Beta Band."

A gig held at The Golden Lion on Saturday 1st November. The event starts at 19:30.
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.
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, but in some ways it feels like there hasn’t a break at all. From the
opening incessant riff of ”The Fall of Cashline”, Prolapse set their stall out, hammering the message that they’re back, over and over (and over and over) again.
Entry requirements: 18+
