Produced by GGGarth Richardson (Biffy Clyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and mixed by Rich Costey (Muse, My Chemical Romance), there’s a strident sense of defiance and flair throughout ‘Welcome Home’, the kind of fist-pumping fodder that festival crowds were custom-built for. The album includes the band’s debut single ‘The First Time’ which introduced them with a driving onslaught of churning bourbon-soaked chords and cloud-bursting hopeful melodies.

In addition to the band’s introductory singles – the rallying call of the title track, the crackling melodies of ‘Quiet Night In’ and the bluesy tones which inform the sprawling epic ‘The Horizon’ – tracks such as ‘Another Miracle’ and ‘Today’ present All The Young’s core manifesto where the reckless, woozy tones of Hüsker Dü melt with a visceral hit of canonised Brit-rock fronting pairings, from Daltrey and Townshend to the inevitable Mancunian G-bomb. Available on CD, digital and vinyl formats, ‘Welcome Home’ has also been released in a special limited edition photobook format.

 Having stormed back onto the UK charts with their top ten album ‘Weapons’, Lostprophets will release their new single ‘We Bring An Arsenal’ on June 4th. Lostprophets have also announced a massive UK tour for later this year following their sold out April/May tour. 

An instant fan favorite after only a few live airings, ‘We Bring an Arsenal’ is described by Kerrang as  ‘a colossal slice of hard rocking braggadocio with a chorus so infectious that this summer’s festival crowds are probably already singing it’.

Guitarist Mike Lewis says: ‘We Bring An Arsenal is about us as a band, our gang mentality. We’ve always had that, even before we formed Lostprophets. When we were just mates growing up, we had that us vs. them, underdog mentality. That song is about that – whatever you throw at us we’ll come back with more.’

As well as being confirmed for Radio 1’s Hackney Weekender in June, Lostprophets will also be playing the following venues this November:

SHOW WITH SLASH IN LONDON ON JUNE 6

Halestorm are thrilled to announce a UK headline tour for the Autumn in support of their chart-topping new album, “THE STRANGE CASE OF…”  The new dates will follow a U.S. headline tour, high profile festival appearances (including the Download Festival on June 9), and a series of support slots alongside Avenged Sevenfold and Slash.

“THE STRANGE CASE OF…” is shaping up as Halestorm’s breakthrough release.  The album just debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Hard Rock Albums” chart, while also making a top 15 entry onto the overall Billboard 200.  In its first week of sales in the UK, the album saw a 3000% uplift on their previous release’s first week.

Furthermore, the album’s electrifying first single, “Love Bites (So Do I),” is proving the Pennsylvania-based band’s fastest rising single thus far, having now ascended to the top 5 at Active Rock radio outlets nationwide across the USA.  Other highlights of “THE STRANGE CASE OF…” include “Here’s To Us,” which shot to #1 on iTunes’ “Top Rock Songs” chart after being featured in the season three finale episode of Fox’s hit TV series, Glee.

Produced by Howard Benson, “THE STRANGE CASE OF…” has also drawn critical acclaim, with Billboard praising the collection as “full of chugging riffs, wailing solos, drums that kick like a boot to the gut, and never-out-of-style soft/loud dynamics that lead to massive choruses.” “Led by one of our favorite rocker babes, singer-guitarist Lzzy Hale, (Halestorm) promise a more personal album for their follow-up,” noted Revolver in its album preview.  “But don’t expect them to get all sappy on us.  There should still be more than enough of the band’s now signature raucous attitude and righteous riffs for any headbanger to get off.”

UK dates are as follows:

Wed 6^th Jun  – as main support to SLASH – LONDON Hammersmith Apollo

Sat  9^th Jun – DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL

And then these HEADLINE SHOWS:

Fri 21^st Sep – BIRMINGHAM O2 Academy 2
