Mike Chiplin

Forming in 1997, Mike Chiplin and Lostprophets were a mainstay on their local scene before releasing their debut CD, The Fake Sound of Progress, in 2000. Before they knew it, they found themselves touring the world and racing up the charts.
“Start Something” is the latest chapter in the Lostprophets' self-penned success story. "This is us, take it or leave it!" This album is Lostprophets' call to arms, a rallying cry to kids everywhere - never lie down, never give up.

And Epic It Is, Songs Like The Sonically Crushing Album Opener "We Still Kill The Old Way" and "Last Train Home" ( top 10 hit ) , which opens with atmospheric verses before switching gears into an anthemic sing-along. “Start Something” will always keep you guessing. The album went straight into the UK top 5 and achieved a gold disk with a matter of weeks.

The band has a list of awards over the years including being voted Best British new Band Kerrang! 2001, Best Metal Act NME 2002,Best British band by Rock Sound Magazine 2003, and they have just been nominated for 2 metal Hammer awards ( Best UK band, Best Live act ).
Lostprophets are currently in the middle of a world tour and are touring all the top European festivals alongside Slipknot and Metallica. In the UK this summer they have just played the Glasgow Download festival and will also be playing Glastonbury and Carling festivals.
