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.

JETSTREAM PONY come to us (mainly) from Brighton, channelling a love of post‑punk and indie‑pop. Led by vocalist Beth Arzy (Aberdeen/Trembling Blue Stars) & guitarist/vocalist Shaun Charman (The Wedding Present/The Fireworks), the band fuse chiming melodies with driving bass and propulsive rhythms; a sound they’ve taken from "schrammelig” (German for rough or raw) to slightly less "schrammelig" from the early singles in 2017, to their newest album, “Bowerbirds and Blue Things.” Most recently releasing a BBC6 Riley & Coe session on Precious Recordings of London.
