Liberation transmission
Liberation Transmission is the third studio album by lostprophets. The album was released on June 26 and June 27, 2006 in the United Kingdom and the United States respectively and entered the UK album chart at number one (July 2 for 1 week).
The first single, Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast), was released on June 19th 2006, and reached number 8 in the UK Top 40. The second single will almost certainly be A Town Called Hypocrisy, as bassist Stuart Richardson claimed in a recent BBC interview.
The album was leaked via BitTorrent for illegal download on June 12 2006, two weeks prior to its official release.

Trivia:
This is the first lostprophets album to include the lyrics to album's songs in the album's packaging. thefakesoundofprogress did not include the lyrics, whilst Start Something specifically states that the lyrics could be found on the band's official website, although they no longer can be.
It is also the first lostprophets album recorded without original drummer Mike Chiplin. Josh Freese drummed at the request of Bob Rock, but the band's first choice was Travis Barker.
Both of the other lostprophets albums featured interludes between some songs; no songs on Liberation Transmission are linked together, or feature interludes.
The first line in the chorus of "Can't Stop, Gotta Date with Hate" was taken from a line in the film The Goonies.
The Latin phrase on the album cover, "nobis pro lemma vobis", translates roughly as "for us, for them, for you". This lyric comes from the song Burn Burn, which can be found on the band's previous album Start Something.

Last summer
Last Summer is the fourth single from Start Something, the second album by the Welsh rock band lostprophets. The previous singles, Burn Burn, Last Train Home and Wake up (Make a move) had all been highly sucsessful on both sides of the Atlantic so this single was under pressure to be as good. It reached 13th in the UK Singles Chart and also charted in the United States. The music video for the single shows lead singer (Ian Watkins) driving around a small town on the last day of the summer school term. As he reaches his destination, the beach, he then goes back to the beginning and drives past the school again but in a different decade - the 70's, 80's, and the present (00's).

wake up (make a move)
Wake Up (Make a Move) is the third single from Start Something, the second album by the Welsh rock band lostprophets. This single was under much debate up to it coming out, both lostprophets and their N Prime management wanted the dark, brooding "Make A Move" as a single whereas the label wanted the poppier, catchier "I Don't Know". The band and their management walked away victorious from this battle of wills and the song was released as a single with the modified title "Wake Up (Make A Move)". However, "I Don't Know" was later released for radio airplay in the USA.

Rooftops (a liberation broadcast)
Rooftops is a single by Welsh band lostprophets, which was released in the United Kingdom on June 19, 2006.
The first airing of the single in the UK recently was in front of 25,000 fans when the lostprophets headlined the Give It a Name festival in Manchester and London.
The song is taken from the number one album Liberation Transmission and was recorded in Hawaii. The b-sides found on the single came from the same sessions - all of which are brand new tracks. The video was filmed on location in Los Angeles, USA and was co-directed by the band and Ryan Smith (of Story of the Year).

Trivia:
When the band pitched their dream video for "Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast)" to their record label, it was refused because it would have cost 8 million pounds to produce. It subsequently went through several re-drafts before they settled on the final version.
The chorus of "Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast)" was inspired by the scene in the film Garden State where the characters are screaming into a pit. The general theme of the song also matches the film's — "make a mark" in your life while there's still time.
