Lostprophets were formed in late 1997 by a group of friends who were somewhat tired of the same old sound the "alternative" scene was providing.
The band was made of up of different members, some played on and off, while 5 stayed all the way through, the band now is made up of 6. Each member with a different musical influence, such as emo to metal, from post hardcore to breakbeat.
Since the group came to be, 3 demos have been recorded.
The first one in that same year of 1997 gained a perfect review in U.K. magazine, Metal Hammer, also stating that the band should be signed imediately.
The second demo recorded the following year, in 1998 and had different sound and was never released.
The third demo was recorded throughout 1999.
The band have played a countless number of sell out shows around the U.K. including Kerrang magazine sponsored nights.
Until now, the band has remained on a low, perfecting their sound, and working on other calls in life. The band took a break for a couple of months, to complete their studies and travel. But now they're here to be heard. The Lostprophets are the newest and freshest sound out of the U.K. and are going to be a big hit. They've already supported a killer U.K. band, pitchshifter and are heading out soon on the road for more.
