About

Born in South Florida’s early-90s underground, Collapsing Lungs fused industrial textures, hip-hop cadence, and metallic urgency. The band cut its teeth opening for Smashing Pumpkins, House of Pain, Rage Against the Machine, and more, building a statewide following that led to a deal with Atlantic Records and the 1994 album Colorblind.

Internal friction stopped the ascent. A sold-out 2004 Culture Room reunion proved the spark never died, and in 2020 the core members reconnected to create new material from afar—channeling the noise of a world in flux back into songs.

Founding vocalist Brian Tutunick (ex-Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids) leads a lineup including guitarists Pete Gross and Lloyd Holley, bassist Mark Carpenter, drummers Michael McDermott and Chris Goldbach, and Chris Nicholas on keys/samples.

Liner Notes

“Colorblind” sessions, January 1994, NYC. Promises of Lollapalooza and bigger stages. The scene changed, the sound stuck. What remains is here: the noise, the pulse, the proof.
