Collapsed Lung was a British rock and hip-hop band formed in Harlow, Essex in 1992. The group originated from a studio collaboration between Anthony Chapman and Steve Harcourt, who met at a local music venue called The Square. Initially, the duo experimented with funk and software tracker OctaMED on Commodore Amiga. Their first releases included the EPs Thundersley Invacar and Chainsaw Wedgie, both released in 1993. The band's lineup evolved to include Nihal Arthanayake, who joined as a rapper, and Johnny Dawe on bass. However, Arthanayake left in 1994 after signing with Go! Discs for his own project, Muddie Funksters. Jim Burke replaced him, and Chris Gutch joined on drums. Their debut album Jackpot Goalie was released in 1995, followed by Cooler in 1996. The single "London Tonight"/"Eat My Goal" reached number 31 on the UK Singles Chart in June 1996 and became the soundtrack for Coca-Cola's Euro 1996 campaign. Despite this success, Collapsed Lung disbanded in 1997. "Eat My Goal" was re-released in May 1998, peaking at number 18 on the UK Singles Chart and appearing in various media, including the video game LMA Manager. The band reformed in 2014 to support Senser and has since performed around the UK.
