“LostAlone are going to be huge.” – Rock Sound
“The best thing to come out of Derby in the history of recorded time.” ­ - Kerrang
“…the future looks blindingly bright for these boys. This is one band you don’t want to miss.” – Big Cheese
"They've been like a little secret; an awesome thing who are starting to connect with people." – Mikey Way (My Chemical Romance)
 

LostAlone are set to release the first single from their forthcoming sophomore album which is due in March. ‘Do You Get What You Pray For?’ will be available on 5th February 2012 along with exclusive non album track, ‘SuperZhero’. An acoustic version of the single will also be available on the iTunes version only. 

The band spent five weeks recording in Los Angeles during May 2010 with acclaimed producers, Jacknife Lee (Weezer, U2, REM, Bloc Party), Greg Wells (Mika, Deftones, Katy Perry), executive producer Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance). ‘Do You Get What You Pray For?’ was produced by Greg Wells and mixed by Mark Needham (Killers, Fleetwood Mac, MCR). Singer Steven Battelle says “We chose this as our first single because both musically and lyrically it perfectly represents a bridge between our first and second records as well as being a song of complete emotional abandon.”
 

LostAlone have also announced that they will be embarking on a mammoth UK/Irish tour supporting InMe in spring 2012 before heading to Europe for their own headline tour. Battelle says, “We’re excited to get back on the road and perform our new record. This will be our most extensive UK/Irish tour to date and we intend to make it the most memorable of experiences for us and the audience!”

Tickets cost £12 and are available to buy now at http://www.seetickets.com. Doors are 7pm.
