Pontypridd, Wales (1997 – present)
Lostprophets is an alternative rock band formed in Pontypridd, Wales in 1997. It was founded by current vocalist Ian Watkins and guitarist Mike Lewis. Initially, Watkins played drums for the band, although its success only began when he transferred over to lead vocals. They have released several demos, none of which have been produced commercially, three studio albums, and eleven singles. Their latest single “It’s not the end of the world, but I can see it from here” was released in the UK on October 12, 2009.
The first of these albums, The Fake Sound of Progress, was originally recorded for the meager sum of £6000 and intended as a glorified demo, but after catching the ears of several major labels, the band re-recorded and re-released the album on a much wider scale through Columbia Records. This resulted in a backlash against the band that was exacerbated by the four-year gap between their first and second albums. When the second album, Start Something, was finally released, the band achieved even greater success, entering the UK album chart at number five, and earning the band international popularity, most notably in the United States. Their third album entitled Liberation Transmission was released on the 26th of June 2006 in the UK and entered the UK album chart at number one.
In April 2007 Lostprophets began the Final Transmission - the last round of touring of their current album with Aiden and Taking Back Sunday as the confirmed support.

Where We Belong is sosososo much better than It's Not The End Of The World. I love it. But I hope it's not the best on the album, I want something to look forward to. And I'm really hoping it sounds more like Start Something than anything else.

I remember that during 2006 uk's mtv2 used to play their videos over and over again. Liberation Transmission was actually GOOD. Kinda teenage-pop-rock but on quite high lever comparing to other bands like that (of course if you can say that teen-pop-rock-constantly-played-on-mtv is on ANY level).

I have no idea how such a self-obsessed, vanilla band released a masterpiece like "Start Something", but I'm glad they did.
