Collapsed Lung was founded in Nottingham in 1992, combining alternative hip-hop with bouncy beats. The band, led by guitarist/vocalist Nellee Hooper and MC Mansi, quickly built a cult following. Their early hits, such as "Eat My Goal" (1996), had funny lyrics and football-related themes. The group's members drew on punk, reggae, and hip-hop elements to create a distinct sound that received critical acclaim and early radio play.

In 1996, Collapsed Lung published their breakthrough album Cooler Than Jesus, which had the international charting song "Eat My Goal," which later became a sports anthem. The band traveled extensively throughout Europe and the United Kingdom, performing at Glastonbury in 1997 and supporting groups such as Faithless. Their distinct blend of rap, rock, and humor garnered them notoriety, chart placements, and long-term festival appeal, cementing their place in 90s hip-hop history.

Collapsed Lung has recently reformed for live gigs across the United Kingdom, performing favorites such as "Eat My Goal" and "Never Mind the Bounce." Their high-energy performances, which include crowd engagement and nostalgia-heavy music, fascinate spectators. Fans can see the band perform at major venues and festivals in 2025.
