'''Kollaps''' was an industrial-synthpop band formed in mid-1987 [https://cplorg.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16014coll5/id/37207/rec/1] as a side project of the mid 1980s [[Exotic Birds]], as a way for them to experiment with industrial music that wouldn't fit with the Exotic Birds' musical aesthetic. They often billed themselves as "Cleveland's answer to Skinny Puppy". [https://cplorg.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16014coll5/id/37162/rec/4] by [[Andy Kubiszewski]], Doug Beck, Richard Carpenter (all also in [[Exotic Birds]], another early band [[Trent Reznor]] was in), and others. Reznor was in the band for a period of time before starting [[Nine Inch Nails]]. The band's name comes from the title of experimental group Einstürzende Neubauten's first album. Kollaps (the band) only released one three-track demo EP on cassette and 7" vinyl in 1987.
[[Richard Patrick]] was also a member of the band, recalling, "I was in this band called Kollaps. And I joined Kollaps in the beginning; it was like this ridiculous thing that...I didn't really understand what we were doing because I wasn't really familiar with industrial. ...And [Trent] saw me again with Kollaps later on...because he was in this band Kollaps with me. And then he left and went off and got a record deal..."[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDT4UWJ14s4&t=900]
