Lostprophets and similar artists

Lostprophets



Overview:
Lostprophets are a Welsh rock band from Pontypridd, formed in 1997. The band was founded by vocalist Ian Watkins, bassist (later guitarist) Mike Lewis, drummer Mike Chiplin and guitarist Lee Gaze. Since their formation, Lostprophets have released three studio albums and three EPs, and will release their fourth studio album, entitled The Betrayed, in January 2010.
The band has achieved two top ten hits on the UK Singles Chart ("Last Train Home" and "Rooftops"), one number one single on the Alternative Songs chart ("Last Train Home"), and several Kerrang! Awards and nominations.





Style:
Over the years Lostprophets have changed their image from casual jeans and shirts to a more stylised, fashionable look. I believe we would be more likely to opt to the earlier attire as it fits the track more.

Funeral For a Friend

Overview:
Funeral for a Friend are a Welsh rock band, from Bridgend, Wales, UK, formed in 2001. Their current lineup consists of Kris Coombs-Roberts, Gavin Burrough, Ryan Richards, Darran Smith and Matthew Davies-Kreye. They have released four albums and are releasing a Greatest Hits album later in October.

Style:

Similarily to Lostprophets, they used to have a very generic jeans and black shirt image, but with age have slightly changed to a more mature casual look.

The Blackout

Overview:

The Blackout is a post-hardcore band from the Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, formed in 2003. After some time backing Lostprophets on their Liberation Transmission Tour, they released their first mini-album The Blackout! The Blackout! The Blackout!. In October 2007 the band released their debut album, We Are The Dynamite. Their second record, The Best In Town was released on May 25 in Europe and June 23 in the US, both via Epitaph Records.

Style:
Over the few brief years they have been around, The Blackout have consistently kept the same image of black slim fitting clothing. One half of the vocal duo, Sean Smith, has also not changed his hairstyle for years as it has become almst synonomous with him and the band. This had lead me to think that the hair and makeup of our band is also a contributing factor to the look.
