lost prophets
Providing bouncy, catchy but slick fun, the Welsh rockers are on tour again and promise to provide a sizzling performance at London’s The Forum on 22nd October.
The good looking crew have been playing since 1997 with their first album Thefakesoundofprogress being released in less than two weeks for the princely sum of £4,000 and put them firmly on the map as an alt-rock band with nu-metal and grunge credentials.
The band takes many influences from 80s pop culture and pay homage to bands like Duran, Duran and New Order. A second album, Start Something sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide. Liberation Transmission released in 2006 saw the band adopt a more contemporary sound and since then the boys have tantalised fans with hints about the anticipated fourth album, Betrayal, due for release in January 2010. Vocalist Ian Watkins promises that it will be “nastier” and “darker” than other albums and describes it as “classy rock, sorta heavy without sounding like bad metal but catchy as feck and also a little more grown up.”
With a hectic schedule of appearances at rock festivals including Download, Reading and the V festival, Lostprophets are famed for their awesome live performances headed by energetic front man, Ian who co-ordinates the crowd into a frenzy of moshing.
