"Burn Burn" is the first single from ''Start Something'', the second album from the Welsh rock band Lostprophets. The video for the single was filmed in The Roundhouse, Camden, London. Release and reception "Burn Burn" was released in the winter of 2003 and became one of the most successful songs from ''Start Something'' on the rock charts.

"Last Train Home" is their second single to ever chart in the US — the first one is "Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja." "Burn Burn" is their only single to ever chart in Germany. Dan Martin of NME said "It’s still metal, but wonder at how the single 'Burn Burn' gleams more with the spirit of glam than downtuned riff rock." Kirk Miller of Rolling Stone said "Standouts such as 'Last Train Home' and 'Burn Burn' hint at something awesome. In the meantime, it's a kick-ass tribute."

The Betrayed (Lostprophets Album)
''The Betrayed'' is the fourth studio album by Welsh rock band Lostprophets, released through Visible Noise and Sony Music on 13 January 2010. Although the band initially wished to record a quick follow-up to 2006's ''Liberation Transmission'', problems with labels and producers led to numerous delays. Consequently, tracks from the album were performed live as early as 2007, but recording was not completed until July 2009, following an entire album's worth of material being scrapped by the band. The singles include: " It's Not the End of the World, But I Can See It from Here", " Where We Belong" and " For He's a Jolly Good Felon". "A Better Nothing" was set to be the fourth single, but it was cancelled due to the poor charting of "For He's a Jolly Good Felon". Although drummer Ilan Rubin left the band before the album's release, his drum tracks were still kept on the finalized product.

A Town Called Hypocrisy
"A Town Called Hypocrisy" is the second single taken from ''Liberation Transmission'', the third studio album by the Welsh alternative rock band Lostprophets.

Music video The music video was made available on Kerrang! TV from the 11 August 2006. It depicts frontman Ian Watkins as a children's television presenter on a fictional television show called ''Town Time'' and is arguably a response to the accusations of the band's metrosexuality. The video also shows the juxtaposition of attitudes in the band between when they appear during transmission and when they are shown behind the scenes of ''Town Time''. During transmission, it shows the other band members — bar Watkins — dressed as the following (mainly paying homage to the Village People): a toy soldier, a bumbling policeman, a doct ...

"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 successful on both sides of the Atlantic so this single was under similar pressure; it reached number 13 in the UK Singles Chart.
