Prolapse

**Prolapse** was a Leicester-based UK band that carved out a gloriously chaotic niche in the ’90s indie scene. Formed in 1991, they mashed together post-punk, noise rock, and a dash of danceable chaos, anchored by the dual vocals of Mick Derrick (whose deadpan spoken-word delivery felt like a pub philosopher’s rant) and Linda Steelyard (whose melodic coolness balanced the frenzy). Their sound was a thrilling mess of hypnotic basslines, screeching guitars, and surrealist energy, captured on albums like *Pointless Walks to Dismal Places* (1994) and *The Italian Flag* (1997). Known for their electrifying live shows and collaborations with John Peel (they recorded multiple sessions for his BBC show), Prolapse disbanded in 2000 but briefly reunited in 2017, reminding everyone why their off-kilter brilliance still feels fresh.
