Lostprophets (IPA: /lɒstˈprɒfɪts/) are a Welsh nu metal band formed in 1997. They have produced several demos (none of which are still produced commercially), three studio albums and eleven singles. Their first album, Thefakesoundofprogress, was originally recorded in a week for £5,000 (GBP) and intended as a demo,[1] but the band re-recorded and re-released the album on a much wider scale through Columbia Records in the USA, although they remain with Visible Noise in the UK. They released Start Something in 2004, and Liberation Transmission in 2006, both to mixed reviews and commercial success.

[edit] Collaborations, Rare Releases, and Covers
Lostprophets are well-known for recording cover versions of an eclectic array of songs and releasing them as B-sides. These have included songs from Duran Duran ("A View to a Kill"), Phil Collins ("In the Air Tonight"), Saves the Day ("Shoulder to the Wheel"), The Strokes ("Reptilia"), Justin Timberlake ("Cry Me a River"), Rachel Stevens ("Sweet Dreams My LA Ex"), INXS ("Need You Tonight"), and The Cure ("Boys Don't Cry").[34]
They often break into impromptu partial covers of popular songs during live performances. In the past these have included a fusion of Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious", Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance", Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", and also there have been repeated instances of Ian singing the chorus to Nelly's hit single "Hot In Herre" during live performances. After performing it on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, the band took to playing "Going Underground", originally by The Jam on their UK tour in late 2006. They have also been known to do a cover of Faith No More's "We Care A Lot" and Outkast's "Ms. Jackson".[35]. More recently, the band has sung the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air during the bridge of "A Town Called Hypocrisy."
In 2002, bored with playing a set filled with the same songs they'd been playing since the release of Thefakesoundofprogress, the band performed a new, untitled song live on several occasions, including an NME awards performance which was broadcast on MTV2. The song was eventually released on a free CD given away with Kerrang! magazine, and was titled Lately. The band also performed another untitled song during this period, most noticeably at the Glastonbury Festival of that year. The song was then subsequently broadcast on BBC Radio 1, and occasional rips of this performance have surfaced on peer-to-peer file sharing networks. This later went on to become "Our Broken Hearts", which was then released on the Burn Burn CD single.
The band has also collaborated with other bands and artists on several occasions. These collaborations include:
- Members of many other bands have performed gang vocals on "Burn Burn" during live performances, including members of Thursday and Good Charlotte.
- Sean Smith from The Blackout sang alongside Watkins on the song Everyday Combat
- "Secret", a song from Amazing Device, featured guest vocals from Ian Watkins.
- "Out of Control", a song by Hoobastank, featured backing vocals from Ian Watkins and Jamie Oliver.
- "It's High Tide Baby", a song by fellow Welsh band and friends The Blackout, features backing vocals from Ian Watkins.
