Lostprophets are a Welsh rock band formed in 1997 by lead singer Ian Watkins. They have released four studio albums and managed two top ten hits. I first got into Lostprophets when I heard Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast) on the radio and liked the catchy tune and sing-a-long lyrics. This encouraged me to listen to more of their work and I ended up buying the album Start Something. What a great album that is, Burn, Burn and Last Train two of the best songs from it. Recently, after listening to their latest album The Betrayal, I heard they were playing at Wolverhampton Civic and I had to go. I bought tickets for a reasonable £22.50 and they were a ...  Read the complete review

I'm well known by my friends and family for having an iPod attached to my body. My ears often get a quick glance before anybody starts talking to me. So needless to say, music is a big part of my life, and there are only a handful of musicians I would consider myself a true fan of. Lostprophets is one of those bands. Like many fans, their breakthrough track "Last Train Home" is what brought them to my attention. And back when the track was released in early 2004, I didn't expect to like them for so long. But almost six years later, I'm still proud to be a fan. And having recently been to see them live for only the second time - ...  Read the complete review

This review is about my top ten favourite Lostprophets songs in order of preference (1 being the highest), and if you haven't heard of them before, these are the songs to listen to to get into them 10) Sunshine - This might be difficult to find, because it's a b-side from the Where We Belong CD so isn't on an album, but I think it should be, it's a very good song, and the guitar sound is great. It's better than a few songs on the actual album 9) Rooftops - This is probably the most famous Lostprophets song, and the reason it's not too high is because it's over-played, but it's amazing the first few times you hear it, but I've just heard it too many ...  Read the complete review

How excited was I when I found out that the <Lost Prophets> were going to play in Milton Keynes? Well I don’t think that words can describe my excitement. Despite the initial annoyance at the postpone of the May gig to September, I think that in the long term it was actually a good thing because I was able to get more into Lost Prophets, and this made me even more excited when September the 7th finally rolled round. <The warm-up bands> The support bands were <Forever until October> (a slightly metal group who we all thought were good for a warm-up band, but the lead singer annoyed me), and Kilkus who were a mental band of the same genre as ...  Read the complete review

Lostprophets have been one of my favourite bands for the last 3 years, and theyve only recently broken into the main stream - now totued as the next big thing and the current british hopes in the metal scene. Mixing an eclectic blend of metal and hip hop predominantly, with jazz, funk, hardcore, pop and electronic influences they have finally broken main stream from the welsh valleys, not only due to the ruthlessly danceable tunes, but boy band goodlooks, and ludicrously energetic live shows. I just though i'd enlighten you with a few facts you might not know... Lostprophets formed late '97 while meeting at university. I first saw them back mid 1998 in a ...  Read the complete review
