Artist Biography

Lostprophets are a Welsh rock (originally Nu-Metal) band formed in 1997, founded by current vocalist Ian Watkins and guitarist Mike Lewis. Initially, Watkins played drums for the band. They have released several demos, none of which have been produced commercially, three studio albums, and eleven singles (their most recent single is 4:AM Forever, which will be released on April 23rd 2007).

The first of these albums, thefakesoundofprogress, was originally recorded for the meagre 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.
