Chart-topping Welsh rockers LOSTPROPHETS are
currently rocking mainstage audiences on the Vans Warped Tour but when the trek
winds down on August 5th they’ll immediately begin gearing up
for a week-long west coast headline club tour that kicks off August 7th.
Joining them on the tour as direct support is L.A. teen rock outfit, CHERRI
BOMB (Hollywood Records).
LOSTPROPHETS’ latest LP, Weapons was
released in the U.S. on Fearless Records this past June to widespread
acclaim. Weapons marks the band's first North American release
since Liberation Transmission (2006) and was recorded in North
Hollywood, CA at NRG Studios with producer Ken Andrews (A Perfect Circle, Black
Rebel Motorcycle Club).
Formed in Pontypridd, South Wales, the Welsh rock band have
made their mark on both sides of the Atlantic with their blend of strong
melodic choruses and aggressively edged rock. Through four previous albums -
2000's fakesoundofprogress, 2004's Start Something,
2006's Liberation Transmission, and 2010's The Betrayed -
the band has grown, both in songwriting and success, stacking up a dozen or so
top 40 singles and selling over 3 million albums worldwide. Recipients of Kerrang!
Magazine's 2010's ‘Classic Songwriters Award’, LOSTPROPHETS have
become one of the U.K.'s biggest rock bands, gracing countless magazine covers
and headlining stages at Reading/Leeds and Download Festivals.
LOSTPROPHETS is Ian Watkins (lad vocals),
Lee Gaze (lead guitar), Mike Lewis (rhythm guitar), Stuart
Richardson (bass) Jamie Oliver (synth, turntables, samples, backing
vocals) and Luke Johnson (drums).
LA’s CHERRI BOMB, were dubbed a “Band You Need
To Know” by Alternative Press and they hit #1 on Billboard’s “Next
Big Sound” chart. They are one of the youngest bands to ever take the
stage at some of the biggest festivals in the world including Reading and Leeds
in the U.K., Soundwave in Australia and the Vans Warped Tour in the U.S. Cherri
Bomb has shared stages (and received glowing endorsements) from bands such as
the Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins and they are currently featured onAvengers
Assemble, the Marvel Music/Hollywood Records companion album to the
blockbuster film “The Avengers.” The band’s major label debut, This Is
