New album reviews, interviews and videos
In the last few days loads of album reviews, interviews and stuff surfaced on the web. We’re sorry if we’re not posting everything and immediately but Admin n.1 is out of town and I’m sick. But we’re trying!
Welsh titans achieve the impossible.
Somehow Lostprophets have combined oil and water, united Crips and Bluds, found critical and fanatical success.
Weapons is ‘06’s Liberation Transmission’s pop with, ‘04 album, Start Something’s muscle. It will comfortably recapture the crowd ‘Prophets lassoed with Liberation Transmission and hopefully tempt back older fans too. Okay, the pop-to-metal ratio isn’t always 50:50 but this is easily their best and most widely pleasing album since their ’04 release.
Lee Gaze’s interview for Ultimate guitar
we feel we need to come along and really kick it up the ass a bit with the kind of record that is required to do this. But really the new record is the kind of record we’d be expected to put out anyway. I mean our records are always pretty heavy you know.
Welsh rockers Lostprophets have been making a name for themselves for an impressive 12 years. 4 albums, numerous tours, awards, nominations and a hardcore base of fans have earned them an accolade of one of Britain’s best rock bands. 2012 brings a new chapter for the band and album number 5 in the form of ‘Weapons’. Jamie from the band had a chat with me about what they feel is a new start for Lostprophets.

New interviews and review
Mike Lewis talked about his passion, football, to Footballburp.
I started getting into football in the mid-’80s, when my local team Cardiff City were in Division Four. I went to Ninian Park a couple of times but it was pretty grim. Everyone at my school supported either Everton or Liverpool, and Everton had players like Neville Southall, Pat Van Den Hauwe and Kevin Ratcliffe. I was attracted more to them than Ian Rush and Liverpool.
And he also got interviewed by Johnny Abrams for Rocksucker. He talks about the album, the music video and the collaborations.
Pontypridd rockers Lostprophets release their fifth studio album Weapons on 2nd April before embarking on a mammoth tour of the UK and Europe (dates here), so Rocksucker caught up with the band’s affable guitarist Mike Lewis for a hearty chinwag about the record, their proposed collaboration with Labrinth, spending the day with Batman’s boss and how he explains Wales to Americans…
Indulge-sound reviewed Lostprophets’ live that took place last night at Koko, London, here.
And here it is an interview with Ian and Lee aired on TV. Check it out!

Indestructible – Kerrang N.1407 march 2012
So our lovely Tracy has scanned the Kerrang! magazine and typed up all the Interview! Here all the things…
Typed Up: By Tracy
INDESTRUCTIBLE
Ten years after Lostprophets became superstars, their detractors are still waiting for them to all. They’re in for a wait, though. The Welsh veterans’ fifth studio album Weapons is primed to explode. It’s best you stand back…
During September 2010, Lostprophets appeared at a show in Cardiff. No biggie, really, just a turn at the Millennium Stadium as part of a patriotic bill that featured fellow nationals, Dame Shirley Bassey and operatic chanteuse, Katherine Jenkins. Later, during a high profile meet and greet at the aftershow party, the six-piece – frontman and lyricist, Ian Watkins, keyboardist Jamie Oliver, guitarists Lee Gaze and Mike Lewis, bassist Stuart Richardson and drummer Luke Johnson – were presented to old big ears himself, the Prince of Wales.
“It felt like we’d barged our way in”, says Stuart, currently relaxing iun a small anteroom in Mates Studios, North Hollywood with the rest of the band. The release of Lostprophets’ latest studio album, Weapons, is looming; the vibe is upbeat. “But when Charles came over to us he just wanted to talk about tattoos. I couldn’t believe it. He said ‘I’m thinking of getting one myself’.”

The review of one gig: Sidewave – Melbourne 1/3/2012 on Alternativemusichub
RockIndustry.co.uk has published the FIRST review of the album. You can find it: here!
There has been a lot of talk about the new Lostprophets album, namely due to the fact that it has been 2 years since the last and people are itching to see what they have done with themselves. ‘Weapons’ is the band’s 5th studio album and is due out on April 2nd, via all good music places/sites/rabbit holes on Epic Records.
So imagine the delight when a few days ago, a copy of the album hits our doorstep for us to review… Then imagine our surprise that others haven’t already reviewed it! So here it is, from what we can tell, the first review of the album. Track by track, blow by blow…
