Brighten The Corners Presents post-punk band Prolapse on Thursday 6th August at The Church.
“Prolapse have a trick that they use repeatedly but it's a very good trick. Crucially though I Wonder When They’re Going To Destroy Your Face is the sound of an actual band at work with all the messiness, happy accidents and moments of inspiration that entails. It may have emerged from a group who last recorded a quarter of a century ago but it's an absolute breath of fresh air to hear such inspired racket in 2025.” - Norman Records

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.
