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 “Where We Belong” will be released on the 4th of January, 2010.
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.

"Start Something" is my favorite album and the two new singles are quite ok, but I'm still very sceptical. "Liberation Transmission" was not that good and the new songs sound more like that. Just two weeks left :)

so, i wanna take the last train home, thus i'm runnin on the rooftops of this town called hypocrisy to get it, constantly hopin its 4 am - forever, coz thats the time and the train departs in 5 mins. I suddenly remember last summer, when it was everyday combat, we just wanted it to end, but they told us you cant catch tomorrow and it went on and on. yesterday i noticed we still kill the old way, i dont know how thats connected to the new transmission, but somehow we didnt evolve at all. now, its time to make a move, maybe start something. its not like we cant stop, but we gotta date with hate on our way to hell. yea, to hell we ride and we burn, burn like a thousand miles of fire and i'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day. yea that made no sense at all. i'm bored.
