Prolapse formed in the summer of 1991 under a table at Leicester Polytechnic's Friday night disco, "With the aim of being the most depressing band ever", earned a cult following for their live set, particularly for the tension within songs such as "Tina This Is Matthew Stone", which were not so much sung as acted to a musical accompaniment. In 1993 they released two EPs on Cherry Red Records, "Crate" and "Pull Thru Barker", followed in 1994 by the single "Doorstop Rhythmic Bloc" and album Pointless Walks to Dismal Places, which won critical acclaim.

In 1995, they released their second album backsaturday, which saw them experimenting with both repetitive grooves and ambient soundscapes. The album was preceded by the single "TCR", a fast-paced number which also featured on the subsequent US release of backsaturday. A remixed version of the 15-minute lead track "Flex" was also later issued as a llimited edition 12" titled "Flexed".
Their third album The Italian Flag (1997) was an eclectic 13-track tour de force which saw Prolapse pick up significant radio play for the first time, particularly for the lead single "Killing The Bland" and its even more commercial-sounding follow-up "Autocade", though neither singles became hits.
