|ShortSummary = Penelope returns home to find her daughter, Elena, arguing with her mother, Lydia, over a planned [[quinceañera]] after Elena reads that it has misogynistic roots. Penelope challenges Elena to a [[Lincoln–Douglas debate format|Lincoln–Douglas debate]] in which they argue the other's perspective, tricking her into arguing for the Quinces that she doesn't want. In protest, she fails a school test on purpose. Meanwhile, Alex wants to buy five pairs of sneakers but Penelope only allows him to buy one for less than [[USD|$]]40. He buys five anyway, planning to keep them clean and then return them. Stressed by her children's actions, Penelope takes a recently-prescribed [[antidepressant]] over the protests of Lydia, who believes that she needs her ex-husband, Victor, back instead of drugs. Both women argue until the latter consoles the former. Penelope lets Alex keep the first pair of shoes that he has bought. She also tells Elena that she will not force her to have a Quinces, but when she explains that she selfishly wanted it in order to prove that she was succeeding as a single mother, Elena agrees to it.<br />

Lydia teaches Schneider [[salsa (dance)|salsa]] dancing in order to prepare him for a date. Elena is ignored by her classmates at lunch as she tries to get them to put their food waste in the new composting bin that she has initiated. The family discusses sexism, with Elena insisting that Scott's [[microaggressions]] and [[mansplaining]] is sexist, Penelope viewing "real" sexism as more overt, and Lydia thinking that men and women should embrace their natural differences. At work, Scott suggests Penelope's idea right in front of her to Dr. Leslie Berkowitz as if it was his own, leading to a huge argument between the two, and Penelope quits upon learning that Scott earns more than her. Later that day, Leslie visits Penelope's apartment to ask her to come back, and she agrees after negotiating a raise. Lydia convinces Elena to wear makeup to school, but after Elena finds it uncomfortable and removes it, her grandmother's reaction upsets her. To apologise, Lydia shows Elena her face without makeup. <br />

Penelope sends Carmen away for the night, upsetting Elena, but the adults drink and enjoy themselves. Carmen is caught trying to sneak back into the apartment and the group begin talking about immigration, which is sparked by the immigration project that Carmen and Elena have been doing all this time. Schneider reveals that he emigrated illegally from Canada and Lydia talks about coming to America from Cuba under Operación Pedro Pan. Scott believes that people should not migrate illegally and that America is "full up", with Lydia sympathising. Penelope argues against this. Elena finally confesses to Penelope the reason for Carmen's constant presence in the house; Carmen has nowhere else to go since her parents were deported to Mexico after travelling to get medical assistance. Schneider then pays for a plane ticket for Carmen to go to live with her brother in Texas.

breaks down and is too costly to repair. Penelope is sad to lose it as it reminds her of good memories with Victor.

She is instead surprised to meet salesperson Jill Riley, a black woman who also served in the army. However, they quickly get on and Penelope is happy with the final negotiated deal. Overwhelmed at the last minute by memories in her old car, Penelope opens up to Jill about how her relationship with Victor ended after he experienced post-traumatic stress from his military experiences. He developed alcoholism, his mental health worsened and one night he told her that he was going to kill himself.<br />
Jill encourages Penelope to let go of the car, and invites her to join a support group with other veteran women.

Someone from the VA finally answers the phone and Penelope rushes to a nearby shop so that she can send a document by fax, leaving Elena in charge of the phone. Pressured by his friend, Alex steals a pill from Lydia and hides in Lydia's room when Elena enters the living room. Talking to herself in response to standard medical advice intermittently given by the on-hold line, Elena reveals that she might be attracted to girls and does not want to pick a boy as an escort for her Quinces. She then discovers Alex hiding and is furious to find him trying to sell drugs, but appreciates his laid-back attitude towards what he has overheard about her sexuality.

Elena asks a popular guy in her year, Josh Flores, to be her escort for her Quinces in hope that he would reject her and she wouldn't have to have a boy as her escort. Unfortunately for her, Josh accepts, and then she decides to invite him over in order to test her attraction for boys. With the rest of the family away from the apartment, Elena kisses Josh after he tells her that he has a crush on her. Meanwhile, Alex, who is at Schneider's apartment, lets it slip that Elena might be a lesbian, and that Elena is home alone with a boy.

|ShortSummary = The Alvarez family takes offense when Schneider wears a [[Che Guevara]] shirt. Later, Elena discovers that she is a finalist for the Voices of Tomorrow young writers' program, but gets angry upon finding out that her acceptance is merely to fulfil the diversity quota. Elena rejects her place out of spite but Penelope argues that she has to accept the opportunities that she gets. Meanwhile, Alex has a class project on Cuba and films Lydia talking about her experiences there. He becomes passionate about the project and gets Penelope and Elena to dress in very stereotypical Cuban outfits for the video. When Lydia talks about Pedro Pan, she gets overwhelmed, and later tells Penelope that she had an older sister, Blanca, who was forced to stay in Cuba due to being too old for Pedro Pan. Lydia was subsequently told that Blanca had died of the flu there, though the former does not believe it. When Elena and the rest of the gang hears everything, she decides to accept her place for the Voices of Tomorrow. Lydia re-films her scene and Alex gets an A+. While talking to her co-workers, Penelope realises that her 18-year-old self would be disappointed in her, as she had never become a doctor. She is interested in pursuing this goal, but gets dissuaded when she learns the number of years and amount of money that it would cost. She does some research and ultimately decides to train as a [[nurse practitioner]].<br />

She panics when she is unable to reach Elena, who is hanging out at Josh's house.

|ShortSummary = Penelope talks to Schneider about Elena's sexuality, and he reveals that he and Alex had already known. Penelope is struggling to process the information, but wants to be accepting. The next day, she talks to Elena enthusiastically about ''[[Autostraddle]]'' articles. Lydia trains Elena and Josh to dance for the Quinces and encourages romance between them, though unbeknownst to her, Josh already knows that Elena is gay. Elena eventually comes out to Lydia, who is initially unaccepting but very quickly concludes that she should be accepting for religious reasons. Penelope meets one of her therapy friends, Ramona, at a gay bar to talk about her feelings, only for Ramona to leave and flirt with a woman. Shortly afterwards, Penelope encounters a straight man named Ben at the bar, who tells her that she just needs time to readjust her understanding of her daughter. She later agrees to go on a date with him and then bonds with Elena by talking about him. Meanwhile, Alex gets into an important baseball team and Penelope reluctantly allows Schneider to take him to the first game, which requires an overnight trip. After the game, Schneider gets very overprotective, prompting the boys to lock him out of their hotel room. The boys take two of the hotel trolleys, race with them down the hallway, and get caught by security, so Schneider drives Alex home.<br />

|ShortSummary = A sleep-deprived Penelope is stressed with planning for Elena's Quinces. Schneider helps to pick up some extended family from the airport, many of whom stay in the Alvarez apartment. While practising the father-daughter dance, Elena comes out to Victor, who gets disgruntled and disbelieving of his daughter's sexuality. Penelope tries to convince him to be supportive of their daughter regardless, еspecially during one of the most important events of her life. Meanwhile, Lydia thinks that she has failed in designing Elena's dress when Elena does not break down in tears of joy. Lydia continues making changes and refuses to believe her granddaughter when she says that she loves all versions of the dress. Leslie accidentally ruins Penelope's seating plan while handing out pastries to the extended Alvarez family, and Penelope falls asleep in exhaustion while trying to redesign it. The rest of the family work together to fix it and manage the remaining planning. Elena finally cries tears of joy when she sees the new outfit that Lydia has designed (with the help of Leslie): a suit. During the Quinces party, Penelope gives an emotional speech and Elena dances with Josh as Alex dances with Carmen, who has flown in to join the party with the help of Schneider. At the last minute, Victor leaves. The father-daughter dance starts and Elena realises that her father is not there, so Penelope, Alex, Lydia, Schneider and Leslie join her on the dance floor instead.<br />

|ShortSummary = The Alvarez family and Schneider enthusiastically support Alex at his baseball game, where Schneider shows Elena that he has been learning Spanish, and offers to teach it to her. Alex is embarrassed and irritated by his family's behavior. She gets a call from Alex's school about him punching another boy. Alex explains that the boy made a racist comment about him, and that this has happened regularly, including racist and even anti-Mexican slurs directed against him like ''[[beaner]]'' and ''[[wetback (slur)|wetback]]'', though the family is not Mexican. After Alex has stormed off, the others talk about racism in America; Schneider is surprised that it occurs in Los Angeles. As a child, Lydia was called a ''[[spic]]'', though the others find less weight to the slur as it is not frequently used any more. Elena, on the other hand, has not experienced racist abuse, perhaps because her lighter skin tone makes her [[passing (racial identity)|pass]] as white. She is upset about not feeling Cuban, and asks Lydia to teach her Spanish. Penelope talks to Alex, sympathetically, and the family go out for ice cream. A man makes a racially charged comment, asking the family to be quiet, and Penelope successfully confronts him.<br />

|ShortSummary = Schneider tries to convince Penelope to buy a brand new sofa after it breaks in half, and teaches her not to be too frugal after she inadvertently embarrasses Alex in front of his new girlfriend, Nora. Meanwhile, Elena intends to go to an [[Overwatch League]] match alone and agrees to drop Alex and Lydia off for their errands while on her way there, but last minute pick-ups (including Leslie) derail her plan to be on time. In order to avoid missing the entire match, the quartet ends up going to the match together. In the midst of the match, somebody breaks into the family car and steals Elena's laptop, which infuriates Penelope. <br />

|ShortSummary = Alex accidentally walks in on Penelope masturbating. She tries to convince her son that it is completely normal to indulge in self-love every now and then, but her mother believes that it is a sin. Alex complains that there are no boundaries in the household, to which Penelope argues that there should not be boundaries and secrets between family members. When she learns that Lydia decides to catfish men using online dating apps (with the help of Schneider) in order to get her a date and stop her self-gratification habit, Penelope firmly changes her mind about not having boundaries, much to Lydia's chagrin. In the end, Penelope and Max reunite with the help of Lydia. <br />

|ShortSummary = Lydia finds a positive pregnancy test kit in the trash can and thinks that it belongs to her daughter, so she decides to spy on Penelope and Max with Leslie. When it is revealed that the kit is not Penelope's, the quartet suspects that it is Nora's (since they think it could never be Elena's). Penelope and Max decide to go to Nora's house to confront Alex and his girlfriend, both of whom are in the midst of having a party there. After Nora reveals that she isn't pregnant (since Alex and her haven't had sex), the Alvarez family soon finds out that the kit belongs to Avery. Meanwhile, Elena and Syd try to go door-to-door to talk about climate change, but to no avail as they are constantly mistaken for trick-or-treaters, and Schneider and Avery try to find the best couple costume to wear in order to win a Halloween costume contest. <br />

|ShortSummary = Penelope gets concerned after Alex randomly asks her for $500. He then explains that it is for taking fashion design classes. Lydia and Penelope later discover that Alex had lied about taking the classes when he comes home with a bought pair of shorts. After confronting her son about it, Penelope learns that as much as Alex loves fashion design, he had failed at making jeans during the first class and is scared of failing again especially amidst pressure from realising how “perfect” the family is in handling their respective everyday lives. Penelope then teaches her son that it is okay to fail sometimes, and convinces him to continue taking the classes. Meanwhile, Elena starts to panic about not being able to write the perfect essay in order to enter Yale, and Schneider and Avery get scared about losing their love for one another after Leslie tells them about his failing marriage while bringing them a tacky and creepy baby shower gift. The gift causes much tension between the couple and results in them having small fights. <br />

|ShortSummary = During the night of the supermoon, Schneider decorates the rooftop for an unknown person, and Alex and Elena try to figure out who it is. Alex celebrates his three-month anniversary with Nora and reveals that he is scared about having sex because he's afraid that it might cause their relationship to end like his parents'. Elena and Syd are worried about one another's crushes after the former reveals that she has a crush on an employee at her go-to coffee shop, and the latter names their celebrity crushes with no hesitation. Penelope tells Max that she doesn't want to get married after what happened with Victor and how it had affected the family. It is eventually revealed that the decorations are for Lydia, as she has decided to spread her late husband's ashes on the rooftop garden that he had always tended to back when he was alive. <br />

<br />
Following the performance, Bailon became a member of the [[girl group]] [[3LW]], joining [[Kiely Williams]] and [[Naturi Naughton]], the other two members of the group. Bailon stated that she was spotted by a producer while on a field trip to [[Mount Sinai Beth Israel|Beth Israel]], and was later offered a slot in the female trio.<ref name="mun2" /> Bailon said "... coming from very humble beginnings in the projects of the Lower East Side and not having any "Hollywood" connections.... It did not seem realistic. I sang in church, acted in all the church and school plays....

<br />
With the original line-up of 3LW formed, the group was signed to [[Epic Records]], and work on their debut album began in 1999. Their first single, "[[No More (Baby I'ma Do Right)]]", was released in the fall of 2000. "No More" was a chart success, and was followed by "[[Playas Gon' Play]]" in early 2001. The group's self-titled debut album, ''[[3LW (album)|3LW]]'' was released on November 14, 2000. The album went on to be certified platinum by the [[RIAA]], selling 1.3&nbsp;million copies in the United States.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/72110/3lw-is-a-trio-again|title=3LW Is A Trio Again|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=March 4, 2003|access-date=March 15, 2010}}</ref><br />
<br />
In the summer of 2001, the group embarked on the [[MTV]] ''[[Total Request Live]]'' tour along with [[Destiny's Child]], [[Dream (American group)|Dream]], [[Nelly]], [[Eve (entertainer)|Eve]], and [[Jessica Simpson]]. In 2001, 3LW recorded a song with various artists including [[Michael Jackson]], [[Usher (entertainer)|Usher]], [[Beyoncé Knowles|Beyoncé]], [[Luther Vandross]], [[Celine Dion]] and [[Mariah Carey]] in response to the 9/11 attacks called "[[What More Can I Give]]". In late 2001, they collaborated with [[Romeo Miller|Lil' Romeo]] and [[Nick Cannon]] for "[[Parents Just Don't Understand]]" on the ''[[Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (film)|Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius]]'' soundtrack.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2270940/jimmy-neutron-movie-soundtrack/|title=Here's why the 'Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius' soundtrack is still the best of all time|last=Roth|first=Madeline|publisher=MTV|date=September 14, 2015|access-date=September 25, 2015|archive-date=September 25, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925215238/http://www.mtv.com/news/2270940/jimmy-neutron-movie-soundtrack/|url-status=live}}</ref><br />
<br />
3LW spent the first half of 2002 in the studio, recording an album tentatively titled ''Same Game, Different Rules''. The album and its intended lead single "Uh Oh" were presented to the label, who felt it did not have enough urban radio appeal. The tracks from ''Same Game, Different Rules'' were leaked to the Internet in [[MP3]] format, and Epic considered dropping the girls. A fan support campaign for 3LW, named "Never Let Go of 3LW" after their song "Never Let Go" spread to the radio, and the act was retained, despite the album loss. Recording a new set of tracks, the group returned in the summer of 2002 with the [[P. Diddy]]-produced single "[[I Do (Wanna Get Close To You)]]", featuring [[Loon (rapper)|Loon]]. That same summer, the group performed a concert special on [[Nickelodeon]] titled ''Live on Sunset''. By August, the group was set to release its newest LP, ''[[A Girl Can Mack]]'', when member Naturi Naughton left the group for good due to internal disputes. ''A Girl Can Mack''{{'}}s release date was pushed back a month, but sales were still disappointing, with it debuting at No. 15 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] and selling 53,000 copies in the first week. Approaching the time that the group was ready to deliver their second album, Naughton publicly announced that she was no longer a member of the group.<ref name="onestorytwosides"/><ref name="MTV 20020821">{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1457117/20020821/3lw.jhtml|title=3LW Become 2LW|last=Oh|first=Minya|publisher=MTV|date=August 21, 2002|access-date=March 15, 2010|archive-date=April 21, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090421160149/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1457117/20020821/3lw.jhtml|url-status=live}}</ref> Naughton alleged she had had a number of conflicts and arguments with Bailon, Williams, and their management, which led to a heated altercation in August 2002.<ref name="onestorytwosides">{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/bands/123/3LW/news_feature_081602 |title=3LW: One Story, Two Sides |publisher=MTV |date=March 9, 2006 |access-date=March 15, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090928095921/http://www.mtv.com/bands/123/3LW/news_feature_081602/ |archive-date=September 28, 2009 }}</ref> Not long after, Naughton claimed she had been forced out of the group.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1457173/20020823/3lw.jhtml |title=3LW: Naturi Describes Alleged 3LW Fist Fight That Led To Split&nbsp;— Rhapsody Music Downloads |publisher=[[VH1]] |access-date=March 15, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090419124327/http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1457173/20020823/3lw.jhtml |archive-date=April 19, 2009 }}</ref><br />

===2003–2008: The Cheetah Girls, 3LW disbandment, and acting career===<br />
Williams and Bailon continued as a duo while using the "3LW" name, causing the press to jokingly refer to them as "2LW".<ref name="MTV 20020821" /> According to a cover story for the October 2002 issue of ''Sister 2 Sister'' magazine, Kiely & Adrienne said they received death threats and that they had to beef up security. The departure of Naturi greatly affected the group's popularity and album sales. After the second single released from the album, "Neva Get Enuf", underperformed, auditions were held across the country for a new third member. Jessica Benson made the cut and joined 3LW in early 2003. Without Benson, the group might have had to split due to "bankruptcy".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://new.music.yahoo.com/3lw/news/3lw-adds-new-member--12053202 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120711092904/http://new.music.yahoo.com/3lw/news/3lw-adds-new-member--12053202 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 11, 2012 |title=3LW News |publisher=Yahoo!

In fall 2003, 3LW departed from Epic, signing with [[Jermaine Dupri]]'s [[So So Def]] label. The group then began working on their fourth studio album.<br />
[[File:Cheetahliciouschristmasconcert.jpg|thumb|left|The Cheetah Girls performing during their Christmas tour in 2005]]<br />
While working on the album, both Bailon and Williams signed on to star in the [[Disney Channel]] film ''[[The Cheetah Girls (film)|The Cheetah Girls]]''. They starred as two of the four members in a female girl group named after the film, with [[Raven-Symoné]] and [[Sabrina Bryan]] portraying the other two members. The film was released in August 2003, and was a ratings success. ''The Cheetah Girls'' soundtrack debuted at No. 33 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] and was later [[RIAA certification|certified]] 2× Platinum by the RIAA.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1055377/ask-billboard |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090617105604/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1055377/ask-billboard |archive-date=June 17, 2009 |title=Ask Billboard |magazine=Billboard |date=June 17, 2009 |access-date=August 4, 2012}}</ref> Bailon had a supporting role on Disney Channel's ''[[That's So Raven]]'' in which she played Alana, a personal enemy of the show's title character. In 2005, she appeared as Dominique in ''[[Coach Carter]]'', her first theatrically released film. [[Walt Disney Records]] soon created a real-life girl group, composed of Adrienne, Kiely, and Sabrina. Raven was offered a spot in the group but declined, opting to focus on her solo career and her television series ''That's So Raven''. The trio began working on their first studio album, later revealed to be a Christmas album. The album, titled ''[[Cheetah-licious Christmas]]'', was released that year, and they soon left Walt Disney and signed to [[Hollywood Records]] in 2006.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/a-cheetah-licious-christmas/id204770245 |title=iTunes&nbsp;— Music&nbsp;— A Cheetah-licious Christmas by The Cheetah Girls |publisher=iTunes Store |date=October 11, 2005 |access-date=August 4, 2012 |archive-date=December 2, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111202123952/http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/a-cheetah-licious-christmas/id204770245 |url-status=live }}</ref> Bailon then starred in the MTV film ''[[All You've Got]]'', along with [[R&B]] singer [[Ciara]].

The Cheetah Girls later returned to film the sequel ''[[The Cheetah Girls 2]]''.

"We'll be making a real album, not a soundtrack", Bailon said. The Cheetah Girls' second single from ''The Cheetah Girls 2'' soundtrack, "[[Strut (The Cheetah Girls song)|Strut]]", considered their most successful single, was their highest-peaking single to date, peaking at No. 53 on the Billboard charts.

The album was supposed to be released later that year but was pushed back to a 2007 release because of Adrienne and Kiely's involvement with Disney's [[The Cheetah Girls (band)|Cheetah Girls]] franchise, and eventually fell off the release schedule. The album delays were caused by image conflicts between both groups. As a result, the album was never released. In early 2007, Bailon stated in ''Girls Life'' magazine that 3LW was on hold because of the Cheetah Girls project. However, rumors were finally put to rest by Bailon in an interview with Jonathon Jackson in 2008 when Bailon confirmed that 3LW officially disbanded after they were removed from the [[So So Def]] roster. Bailon and Williams decided to then pursue the Cheetah Girls franchise full-time.<br />

In 2008, work on the third and final film in the Cheetah Girls franchise, titled ''[[The Cheetah Girls: One World]]'', was due to begin.

Bailon expressed that when she got her solo record deal at [[Def Jam Recordings|Def Jam]], things didn't go the way she expected.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.directlyrics.com/adrienne-bailon-breaks-down-over-fear-of-flop-with-solo-album-on-the-talk-mustwatch-news.html|title=Ex-Cheetah girl Adrienne Bailon breaks down over fear of flop with solo album on "The Talk"|publisher=Direct Lyrics|date=January 29, 2015|access-date=September 25, 2015|archive-date=September 23, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923214956/http://www.directlyrics.com/adrienne-bailon-breaks-down-over-fear-of-flop-with-solo-album-on-the-talk-mustwatch-news.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eonline.com/news/619620/adrienne-bailon-breaks-down-when-asked-about-her-singing-career-watch-the-emotional-clip|title=Adrienne Bailon breaks down when asked about her singing career|first=Bruna|last=Nessif|publisher=E!|date=January 28, 2015|access-date=September 25, 2015|archive-date=September 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924134314/http://www.eonline.com/news/619620/adrienne-bailon-breaks-down-when-asked-about-her-singing-career-watch-the-emotional-clip|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fashionnstyle.com/articles/43537/20150129/adrienne-bailon-reveals-why-she-did-not-pursue-a-solo-music-career-after-cheetah-girls-3lw.htm|title=Adrienne Bailon reveals why she did not pursue a solo music career after 'Cheetah Girls', 3LW|first=Jordianne|last=Comejo|publisher=Fashion Style|date=January 29, 2015 |access-date=September 25, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150209025919/http://www.fashionnstyle.com/articles/43537/20150129/adrienne-bailon-reveals-why-she-did-not-pursue-a-solo-music-career-after-cheetah-girls-3lw.htm|archive-date=February 9, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://hub.contactmusic.com/story/adrienne-bailon-i-m-too-scared-to-release-solo-album_4556917|title=Adrienne Bailon: "I'm too scared to release solo album"|publisher=Contact Music|date=January 29, 2015|access-date=September 25, 2015|archive-date=February 9, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150209033438/http://hub.contactmusic.com/story/adrienne-bailon-i-m-too-scared-to-release-solo-album_4556917|url-status=live}}</ref><br />

Bailon is a Christian. When asked "Do you relate with ''[[I'm in Love with a Church Girl]]'' and not get involve[d] with the sins and craziness that Hollywood is all about?", she replied, "I think I've definitely tried. No one is left without a sin. Everyone {{sic|sin}} in their own different ways. Never judge one person's sins to be greater and lesser than your own. One thing I'm so grateful for was my foundation in faith. It kept me away from a lot of things like drugs that I never had an interest. I always had my faith in God. My relationship with God helped me to get along not to get caught up in those things.<ref>Bailon, Adrienne.

<br />
'''Queensrÿche''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|w|iː|n|z|r|aɪ|k}}) is an American [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band. It formed in 1982 in [[Bellevue, Washington]], out of the local band the Mob.<ref name="allmusic bio">{{cite web|author=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/queensr%C3%BFche-mn0000315339/biography|title=Queensrÿche – Biography & History|work=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=January 24, 2019}}</ref> The band has released 16 studio albums, one [[Extended play|EP]], and several DVDs, and continues to tour and record. The original lineup consisted of guitarists [[Michael Wilton]] and [[Chris DeGarmo]], drummer [[Scott Rockenfield]], bassist [[Eddie Jackson (musician)|Eddie Jackson]], and lead vocalist [[Geoff Tate]].<br />
<br />
Queensrÿche has sold over 20 million albums worldwide, including over six million albums in the United States. They are considered one of the leaders of the [[progressive metal]] scene of the mid-to-late 1980s, and often referred to as one of the "Big Three" of the genre, along with [[Dream Theater]] and [[Fates Warning]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kerrang.com/13-essential-progressive-metal-albums|title=The 13 essential progressive metal albums you need to know|website=[[Kerrang!]]|date=March 12, 2021|access-date=February 12, 2022}}</ref> The band received worldwide acclaim after the release of their 1988 album ''[[Operation: Mindcrime]]'', which is often considered one of the greatest [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] [[concept album]]s of all time.<ref name="10 Best Metal Concept Albums">{{cite magazine|url=http://loudwire.com/best-metal-concept-albums/ |title=10 Best Metal Concept Albums |magazine=Loudwire |access-date=March 19, 2016}}</ref><ref name="List: Ten Great Metal Concept Albums">{{cite web|url=http://www.revolvermag.com/news/list-ten-great-metal-concept-albums.html |title=List: Ten Great Metal Concept Albums |work=Revolver Magazine |access-date=March 19, 2016}}</ref> Their next album, ''[[Empire (Queensrÿche album)|Empire]]'' (1990), was also very successful and included the hit single "[[Silent Lucidity]]". The band has received three [[Grammy Award]] nominations for songs from both albums. In 1998, drummer Rockenfield received an individual Grammy nomination.<br />
<br />
Also in 1998, DeGarmo left the band for personal reasons, returning briefly in 2003 to write and record the ''[[Tribe (Queensrÿche album)|Tribe]]'' album. Over the years, his replacements have been [[Kelly Gray (musician)|Kelly Gray]], [[Mike Stone (musician)|Mike Stone]], and [[Parker Lundgren]]. <br />
<br />
Following a highly publicized backstage altercation before a show in [[São Paulo]], Brazil, in April 2012, Tate was fired from the band and replaced with then-[[Crimson Glory]] singer [[Todd La Torre]]. In response to his dismissal, Tate and his wife Susan (who served as the band's manager from 2005 to 2012) filed a lawsuit in a Washington court, claiming that he was wrongfully terminated. The ruling in the [[preliminary injunction]] was that both parties were allowed to use the name Queensrÿche until a court ruling or a settlement decided who would get to use the name.<ref name="court2013">{{cite magazine|url=http://loudwire.com/geoff-tate-wins-court-ruling-continue-using-queensryche-name/ |title=Geoff Tate Wins Court Ruling to Continue Using Queensrÿche Name |magazine=Loudwire |date=October 20, 2012 |access-date=November 29, 2012}}</ref> A settlement was reached on April 17, 2014,<ref name="settlement">{{cite web|url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/hd1yfrmzhj5zup4/CERTOFSETTLMTWITHOUTDISMISSAL.pdf |title=Certificate of settlement without dismissal |publisher=Court certificate |date=April 17, 2014 |access-date=April 23, 2014}}</ref> in which founding members Wilton, Rockenfield and Jackson were awarded the rights to the band trademark, continuing to perform with the lineup that additionally includes lead vocalist La Torre and guitarist Lundgren.<ref name="Name Settlement">{{cite web|title=Tate Looses QR name|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/its-official-jackson-rockenfield-and-wilton-will-be-sole-entity-recording-and-touring-as-queensryche/|website=Blabbermouth.net|date=April 28, 2014|access-date=April 28, 2014}}</ref><br />
<br />
During the time both parties could use the name Queensrÿche, Tate created his own lineup featuring former rhythm guitarist Gray and musicians from bands including [[Blue Öyster Cult]], [[Ozzy Osbourne]], [[Whitesnake]], [[Dio (band)|Dio]], [[AC/DC]] and [[Quiet Riot]].<ref name="qr_starring">{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/touring/geoff-tate-announces-the-new-queensryche-1007924752.story |title=Geoff Tate Announces 'The New Queensryche' With Ratt, Quiet Riot Members |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |author=Christa Titus |date=September 4, 2012 |access-date=January 4, 2013 |archive-date=November 11, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121111102548/http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/touring/geoff-tate-announces-the-new-queensryche-1007924752.story |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="cleopatra">{{cite web|url=http://www.vintagevinylnews.com/2013/01/geoff-tates-queensryche-signs-with.html |title=Geoff Tate's Queensryche Signs With Cleopatra Records; Announces New Lineup |publisher=Vintage Vinyl News |date=January 25, 2013 |access-date=January 25, 2013}}</ref> This version of Queensrÿche with Geoff Tate released the album ''[[Frequency Unknown]]'' on April 23, 2013,<ref name="gtqr_album">{{cite news|url=http://blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=187003 |title=Geoff Tate's Queensrÿche: New Album Details Revealed |work=Blabbermouth |date=March 4, 2013 |access-date=March 5, 2013}}</ref> while Queensrÿche (with La Torre replacing Tate) released their [[Queensrÿche (album)|eponymous album]] on June 24 and 25, 2013 (European and American release date, respectively).<ref name="coverart">{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/QueensrycheOfficial/photos/a.183090515157442/298698933596599/?type=3 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/163601033773057/298698933596599 |archive-date=2022-02-26 |url-access=limited|title=Queensrÿche|website=Facebook.com|access-date=October 5, 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Both bands toured in 2013 and 2014, after which Tate changed the name of his version of Queensrÿche to [[Operation: Mindcrime (band)|Operation: Mindcrime]].<ref name="settlement" /><ref name="Name Settlement" /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.queensrycheofficial.com/tour.cfm |title=Tour |publisher=QueensrycheOfficial.com |access-date=January 13, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130103074001/http://www.queensrycheofficial.com/tour.cfm |archive-date=January 3, 2013 }}</ref><ref name="om25">{{cite web |url=http://www.queensryche.com/2012/11/26/queensryche-to-embark-on-25th-anniversary-tour-of-bands-epic-release-operation-mindcrime-with-newly-announced-line-up/ |title=Queensrÿche to Embark on 25th Anniversary Tour of Band's Epic Release, Operation: Mindcrime, with Newly Announced Line-Up. |publisher=Queensryche.com |date=November 26, 2012 |access-date=January 13, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130106194015/http://www.queensryche.com/2012/11/26/queensryche-to-embark-on-25th-anniversary-tour-of-bands-epic-release-operation-mindcrime-with-newly-announced-line-up/ |archive-date=January 6, 2013 }}</ref> The La Torre-fronted Queensrÿche has since recorded three more albums with him: ''[[Condition Hüman]]'' (2015), ''[[The Verdict (Queensrÿche album)|The Verdict]]'' (2019) and their newest release ''Digital Noise Alliance'' (2022).<br />

==History==<br />
===1980–1983: From the Mob to Queensrÿche===<br />
The foundations for Queensrÿche began in the late 1970s. guitarist [[Michael Wilton]] started the band Joker with friends in 1978, and they were joined by guitarist [[Chris DeGarmo]] in 1979.<ref name="the_beginning">{{cite web|url=http://www.queensrychehistory.com/thebeginning.html |title=Before the Storm: The Early Days of Queensrÿche: The Beginning |author=Brett Miller |publisher=QueensrycheHistory.com |access-date=January 3, 2013}}</ref> In 1980, Wilton met drummer [[Scott Rockenfield]] at [[Easy Street Records]] in Seattle,<ref name="al_bio">{{cite web|url=http://anybodylistening.net/rockenfield.html |title=Rockenfield |publisher=Anybody Listening |access-date=December 29, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130726210408/http://anybodylistening.net/rockenfield.html |archive-date=July 26, 2013 }}</ref> and they formed the band Cross+Fire together on July 18 that year.<ref name="testimony_rockenfield">{{cite web|url=http://www.anybodylistening.net/lawsuit/scottrockenfield.pdf |title=Declaration of Scott Rockenfield |publisher=Court declaration |date=July 10, 2012 |access-date=December 3, 2012}}</ref> They [[cover version|covered]] songs from popular heavy metal bands such as [[Iron Maiden]] and [[Judas Priest]], and practiced in the garage of Rockenfield's parents<ref name="al_bio" /> which they called "The Dungeon" and fitted with egg cartons as acoustic cladding.<ref name="wikifact">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7-j4Buoi8Q | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211104/g7-j4Buoi8Q| archive-date=2021-11-04 | url-status=live|title=Queensryche – Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction? |via=YouTube |date=January 11, 2017}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Before long, DeGarmo and bassist [[Eddie Jackson (musician)|Eddie Jackson]] joined Cross+Fire, and the band name was changed to the Mob, after the [[Black Sabbath]] song "The Mob Rules".<ref name="storm_coming">{{cite web|url=http://www.queensrychehistory.com/thestorm.html |title=Before the Storm: The Early Days of Queensrÿche: The Storm is Coming |author=Brett Miller |publisher=QueensrycheHistory.com |access-date=January 3, 2013}}</ref> In need of a singer for a one-off performance at a local rock festival, they recruited Babylon frontman [[Geoff Tate]]. After Babylon broke up, Tate performed a few shows with the Mob, but left because he was not interested in performing heavy metal covers.<ref name="mobbed">{{cite web|url=http://www.queensrychehistory.com/mobbed.html |title=Before the Storm: The Early Days of Queensrÿche: I've Been Mobbed |author=Brett Miller |publisher=QueensrycheHistory.com |access-date=January 5, 2013}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 1981, the Mob put together sufficient funds to record a demo tape.<ref name="born">{{cite web|url=http://www.queensrychehistory.com/born.html |title=Before the Storm: The Early Days of Queensrÿche: The Rÿche Is Born |author=Brett Miller |publisher=QueensrycheHistory.com |access-date=January 5, 2013}}</ref> Still without a singer, Tate was once again enlisted to help, much to the disapproval of his then-current band, Myth. The group recorded the four songs "[[Queen of the Reich]]", "Nightrider", "Blinded", and "The Lady Wore Black", the latter of which Tate had written the lyrics for. For an entire year, they brought their demo to various labels and were rejected by all of them. The Mob were ultimately offered a management contract by Kim and Diana Harris, the owners of Easy Street Records.<ref name="testimony_wilton">{{cite web |title=Declaration of Michael Wilton |url=http://www.anybodylistening.net/wilton.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122131842/https://www.anybodylistening.net/lawsuit/wilton.pdf |archive-date=Nov 22, 2021 |accessdate=2013-07-23 |website=Anybodylistening.net |publisher=}}</ref> However, as Tate remained committed to staying in Myth, the band reluctantly searched for another singer.<ref name="born" /><br />
<br />
Because the name "the Mob" was not available, their manager urged them to choose a different name.<ref name="testimony_wilton" /> They reportedly ran out of ideas, and decided to name the band after the first song on their demo tape, "[[Queen of the Reich]]".<ref name="born" /> The spelling "Queensreich" was modified to prevent association of the band with [[Nazism]];<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.faqs.org/faqs/music/queensryche-faq/ |title=Music: Queensrÿche FAQ |publisher=Faqs.org |access-date=July 31, 2010}}</ref> "ryche" is a Middle English cognate to "Reich" which, like the German word, can mean "realm", "kingdom" or "empire". The name "Queensrÿche" is written with a [[metal umlaut]] over the letter "y". As the band later joked: "The umlaut over the 'y' has haunted us for years. We spent eleven years trying to explain how to pronounce it."<ref name="umlaut">Gidley, Lisa. [http://www.spiraling.com/words/umlaut.html "Spinal Tap's main man explains the importance of the umlaut"]. ''www.spiraling.com''. Retrieved April 26, 2006.</ref> The umlaut is used on all of Queensrÿche's releases, except for their 2011 album, ''[[Dedicated to Chaos]]''.<br />
<br />
===1983–1987: ''The Warning'' and ''Rage for Order''===<br />
Kim Harris sent the demo tape and a band photo to a friend who wrote for ''[[Kerrang!]]'' magazine, resulting in a glowing review.<ref name="born" /> On the strength of the growing buzz that surrounded them in both the United States and Europe following this review, the Harrises released Queensrÿche's demo tape as a self-titled [[extended play|EP]] on their [[Independent record label|independent label]] 206 Records in 1983.<ref name="testimony_wilton" /><ref name="Queensrÿche EP release date">{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Queensr%C3%BFche-Queensr%C3%BFche/master/70727|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100713020047/http://www.discogs.com/Queensr%C3%BFche-Queensr%C3%BFche/master/70727|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 13, 2010|title=Queensrÿche – Queensrÿche at Discogs|website=[[Discogs]]|date=July 13, 2010|access-date=January 24, 2019}}</ref> After the EP garnered international praise, receiving much [[airplay]] and selling an unusual number of copies for a small independent release,<ref name="born" /> Tate agreed to leave Myth and become Queensrÿche's permanent lead singer.<ref name="testimony_rockenfield" /><ref name="born" /><br />
<br />
On June 29 and 30, 1983, Queensrÿche was the [[opening act]] for [[Zebra (American band)|Zebra]] in Portland and Seattle respectively.<ref name="born" /> Kim Harris knew [[Artists and repertoire|A&R]] manager Mavis Brodey of [[EMI]]-America from the time she was the music director of [[KZOK-FM]], and he convinced her to come to one of these shows.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.users.totalise.co.uk/~bigoleg/queensryche/warning/features/kerrang_77.html |title=Behind the screams: Paul Suter traces the heady rise of 'Special Metal' band, Queensrÿche |author=Paul Suter |publisher=Kerrang! issue 77 |year=1984 |access-date=January 13, 2013}}</ref> Brodey offered Queensrÿche a [[Recording contract|contract]] with EMI, spanning 15 years and encompassing seven albums.<ref name="testimony_rockenfield" /> EMI re-released the EP ''[[Queensrÿche (EP)|Queensrÿche]]'' to moderate success, peaking at No.&nbsp;81 on the [[Billboard magazine|Billboard]] charts. The band toured with [[Quiet Riot]] through the [[Southern United States|South]] and with [[Twisted Sister]] to the [[East Coast of the United States|East Coast]] and Canada, and opened for [[Dio (band)|Dio]] in Seattle.<ref name="born" /><br />
<br />
After the EP tour, Queensrÿche travelled to London to record their first full-length album. The band worked with producer [[James Guthrie (record producer)|James Guthrie]], who had worked with [[Pink Floyd]] and [[Judas Priest]]. Released in September 1984, ''[[The Warning (Queensrÿche album)|The Warning]]'' showed the band in an early stage of development, playing classic heavy metal songs. It peaked at No.&nbsp;61 on the Billboard album chart, a moderate commercial success. While none of the singles released from ''The Warning'' charted domestically, "Take Hold of the Flame" was a hit for the band outside the U.S., and particularly in Japan.<ref name="Japan">Rivadavia, Eduardo. [{{AllMusic|class=album|id=r15993|pure_url=yes}} AMG review of ''The Warning'']. AllMusic.

<br />
''[[Rage for Order]]'', released in 1986, introduced a much more polished look and sound for Queensrÿche, while the band was pressured by their management to adopt an image more closely associated with [[glam metal]].<ref name="wikifact" /> Tate later described the period as "we were really into [that] image and we failed miserably."<ref name=":0" /> However, the album itself was slightly more progressive than the band's previous releases, having a layered and complex musical structure, and featuring keyboards as prominently as guitars.<ref name="al1986">{{cite web|url = http://anybodylistening.net/1986-1987-1.html|title = Queensrÿche: 1986–1987|publisher = Anybody Listening|access-date = March 4, 2013|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130328111727/http://anybodylistening.net/1986-1987-1.html|archive-date = March 28, 2013}}</ref> A video was filmed for the song "Gonna Get Close to You", written and originally recorded in 1984 by [[Dalbello]]. The song "Rage for Order" was written and demoed for the album, but it was not included on the final release. The main riff from this song was worked into an instrumental piece played during some shows on the tour in support of this album, and eventually morphed into the track "Anarchy-X" on their next album.

In 1988, Queensrÿche released ''[[Operation: Mindcrime]]'', a narrative [[concept album]] that proved a massive critical and commercial success. The album's story revolved around a junkie named Nikki, who is brainwashed into performing assassinations for an underground movement. Nikki is torn over his [[misplaced loyalty]] to the cause and his love for Mary, a reformed hooker-turned-nun (vocals by [[Pamela Moore]]), who gets in the way. The band's [[progressive metal]] style was fully developed on this album.<ref>Huey, Steve. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/operation-mindcrime-mw0000652301 AMG review of ''Operation: Mindcrime'']. AllMusic. Retrieved October 12, 2015.</ref> The band toured through much of 1988 and 1989 with several bands, including [[Def Leppard]], [[Guns N' Roses]] and [[Metallica]]. The album gained critical acclaim and achieved gold status,<ref name=":0" /> while its singles "[[Eyes of a Stranger (song)|Eyes of a Stranger]]" and "[[I Don't Believe in Love]]" gave Queensrÿche their first charting hits in America.<ref name="US" >{{cite web |url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/queensryche/chart-history/rtt/ |title=Queensrÿche Chart History: Mainstream Rock |work=Billboard.com |publisher=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |access-date=March 31, 2021 }}</ref><br />
<br />
The release of ''[[Empire (Queensrÿche album)|Empire]]'' (1990) brought Queensrÿche to the height of their commercial popularity.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title = Brick by Brick|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=3-gWSBgA8sEC&pg=PA56|publisher = SPIN Media LLC|date = June 1, 1991|language = en|first = Daina|last = Darzin|pages = 52–54}}</ref> It peaked at No.&nbsp;7 and sold more than three million copies in the United States, more than their previous four releases combined (it was also certified silver in the UK). The [[power ballad]] "[[Silent Lucidity]]", which featured an orchestra, became the band's first Top 10 single. The arrangements on ''Empire'' were more straightforward than the band's previous efforts.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
The subsequent "Building Empires" tour was the first full-fledged tour to feature Queensrÿche as a headlining act (the band had previously headlined a tour in Japan in support of ''Operation: Mindcrime'', and had headlined a handful of club and theater shows in the U.S. between 1984 and 1988, and the UK in 1988). The group used its headlining status to perform ''Operation: Mindcrime'' in its entirety, as well as songs from ''Empire''. The tour lasted 18 months, longer than any tour the band had undertaken before or has since. The tour also added a black page to the band's history, when during a show in a sports hall in [[Ichtegem]], Belgium on November 20, 1990, a scuffle in the audience resulted in an American fan stabbing a Belgian fan fatally in the chest. Tour manager Howard Ungerleider immediately stopped the show as the band was only playing the seventh song on the set list, "Roads to Madness".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://anybodylistening.net/11-20-90.html |title=11/20/'90 |publisher=AnybodyListening.net |access-date=April 11, 2013}}</ref> A live album, recorded May 10–12, 1991, was released later that year as ''[[Operation: Livecrime]]''. The tour also included an [[MTV Unplugged]] appearance at Warner Hollywood Studios in Los Angeles on April 27, 1992.<br />
<br />
===1994–1997: ''Promised Land'', ''Hear in the Now Frontier'', and DeGarmo's departure===<br />
After taking time off to deal with the [[Occupational burnout|burnout]] resulting from the "Building Empires" tour and with other personal issues, the band released ''[[Promised Land (Queensrÿche album)|Promised Land]]'' in October 1994 (a companion [[CD-ROM]], featuring a ''Promised Land''-themed game and other interactive features, was released in March 1996). It was a dark and intensely personal album, reflecting the mental state of the band at the time. Although the album debuted at No.&nbsp;3 and was eventually certified platinum, it was clearly not the commercial success ''Empire'' had been. As with many other heavy metal and hard rock acts, Queensrÿche's commercial fortunes waned with the surge in popularity of genres such as [[alternative rock]] and [[grunge]].<br />
<br />
Queensrÿche released their sixth full-length studio album, ''[[Hear in the Now Frontier]]'', in March 1997, to mixed critical and fan reception. The album debuted at No.&nbsp;19 but quickly vanished from the charts. [[Toby Wright]], who produced [[Alice in Chains]]’ self-titled 1995 album, was brought on board for this effort as engineer. The result was a sound that is more dry and stripped down than anything the band had ever released. The wall of guitar, drums, and vocals that had become synonymous with Queensrÿche was gone, replaced by a much more immediate and less powerful style.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-04-01|title=Queensryche-Hear-in-the-Now-Frontier/|url=https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/57445/Queensryche-Hear-in-the-Now-Frontier/}}</ref><br />
<br />
Compounding the disappointing sales of the album were issues that plagued the band on the subsequent tour. Less than one month into the ''Hear in the Now Frontier'' tour, Tate became seriously ill and the band was forced to cancel concert dates for the first time. In an even bigger blow, the band's longtime label, [[EMI America Records]], went bankrupt during the same period. Queensrÿche was forced to use its own money to finance the remaining two months of the tour. The band played a handful of December shows in South America because of contractual obligations, and it was during this time, late 1997,<ref name="chris_left">{{cite web |url=http://scream.org/2000/02/29/screaming-in-digital-issue-263/ |title=Why Chris Left: An Answer |last=Birchall |first=Dan |publisher=Screaming in Digital issue 263 |date=February 29, 2000 |access-date=April 24, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130615211026/http://scream.org/2000/02/29/screaming-in-digital-issue-263/ |archive-date=June 15, 2013 }}</ref> that founding member Chris DeGarmo announced he was leaving Queensrÿche.

His involvement with music has since been sporadic. He remains highly regarded in the eyes of Queensrÿche's fan base.<br />
<br />
===1997–2004: ''Q2K'', side projects, and ''Tribe''===<br />
DeGarmo was replaced by producer [[Kelly Gray (musician)|Kelly Gray]] on rhythm guitar. Gray's connections with Queensrÿche went back to the early '80s, when he was the guitarist for Myth, which was also the band Tate fronted prior to joining Queensrÿche. Gray had previously worked as a producer for bands such as [[Dokken]] and [[Candlebox]]. Queensrÿche recorded one studio album with Gray, ''[[Q2K]]'' from 1999, which was also the first album for their new label, [[Atlantic Records]]. Musically, ''Q2K'' bore little resemblance to the progressive metal of the band's past, and also displayed a similar stripped-down sound as ''Hear in the Now Frontier''. Tate has described ''Q2K'' as a continuation of the experimentation of ''Hear in the Now Frontier''. Declining popularity forced the band to tour in clubs and theaters, rather than in the larger arenas and outdoor amphitheaters where they played before. Following the ''Q2K'' tour, Rockenfield and Gray formed the [[side project]] [[Slave to the System]] with band members from [[Brother Cane]] and recorded a [[Slave to the System (album)|self-titled album]].<br />
<br />
After the release of a [[Greatest Hits (Queensrÿche album)|greatest hits]] collection in 2000, Queensrÿche embarked on another tour, this time in support of [[Iron Maiden]]. This enabled the band to play [[Madison Square Garden]] for the first time. Unhappy with the lack of support they felt they received from Atlantic Records, Queensrÿche moved to [[Sanctuary Records]] in 2001. In July of that year, the band performed a handful of dates at the [[Moore Theatre]] in Seattle, Washington. The shows were recorded and released in September 2001 as ''[[Live Evolution]]'', the band's second live album. In 2001 and 2002, Tate worked on his [[Geoff Tate (album)|self-titled first solo album]], which was released on June 25, 2002.<br />
<br />
Gray was fired from the band in May 2002,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=3559 |title=Queensrÿche Frontman Speaks Out On Gray Split, DeGarmo Rumors |work=Blabbermouth.net |date=May 17, 2002 |access-date=January 13, 2013}}</ref> which according to Rockenfield was "because of [his] personal [[substance abuse|abuse]] habits and ongoing problems".<ref name="testimony_rockenfield" /><ref name="testimony_jackson">{{cite web|url=http://www.anybodylistening.net/lawsuit/jackson.pdf |title=Declaration of Eddie Jackson |publisher=Court declaration |date=June 9, 2012 |access-date=December 4, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
The band entered the studio as a quartet in the spring of 2003 to record their eighth full-length album, while a compilation of greatest hits was released as part of the [[Classic Masters (Queensrÿche album)|Classic Masters]] series on March 9, 2003. In April, they announced they had been joined by Chris DeGarmo, although his future status with the band was uncertain. In July, Queensrÿche released its first and only album of new material on the Sanctuary label, ''[[Tribe (Queensrÿche album)|Tribe]]''. DeGarmo, who played on and co-wrote four songs, neither officially rejoined the band nor took part in the supporting tour.<br />
<br />
Queensrÿche found a replacement for Gray in [[Mike Stone (musician)|Mike Stone]], who had previously worked on Tate's solo album.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metal-rules.com/interviews/GeoffTate.htm |author=Maureen McQueeney |title=Geoff Tate Interview |publisher=Metal-Rules.com |year=2004 |access-date=January 13, 2013}}</ref> Stone accompanied the band on the ''Tribe'' tour as second guitarist to Wilton's lead, though he never was a full member of the band. In June 2003, Queensrÿche launched a co-headlining tour featuring another progressive metal band, [[Dream Theater]]. The two bands alternated the opening and closing slots, and ended the shows by playing a handful of songs together. [[Fates Warning]] was the special guest for the tour. A recording from this tour was released to CD and DVD as ''[[The Art of Live]]'', which included two covers performed with Dream Theater.<br />
<br />
Over the course of the five album releases ('Q2K', 'Tribe', 'Operation: Mindcrime II', 'American Soldier' and 'Dedicated To Chaos') after DeGarmo left, the band had gone through three rhythm guitarists, five record companies and four management firms. Q-Prime had taken over management duties before 'Operation: Mindcrime'; they were eventually replaced by Ray Daniels during the 'Q2K' sessions, who was then subsequently replaced by Lars Sorensen.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://exodusattack.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13787&p=417165|title=The Official EXODUS Forum • View topic – QueensRyche Drama |website=Exodusattack.com|access-date=October 3, 2019}}</ref> Following the ''Tribe'' tour, Lars Sorensen was dismissed, and Geoff Tate's wife Susan was promoted to band manager, after having worked as an assistant manager for the band since 2001.<ref name="testimony_susantate">{{cite web|url=http://anybodylistening.net/lawsuit/susantate2.pdf |title=Declaration of Susan Tate |publisher=Court declaration |date=June 9, 2012 |access-date=December 8, 2012}}</ref> In this period, Wilton spent time recording the [[Soulbender (album)|self-titled album]] of his side project [[Soulbender]].<br />
<br />
===2004–2007: ''Operation: Mindcrime II''===<br />
In July 2004, Queensrÿche announced its plans to record a follow-up to 1988's ''[[Operation: Mindcrime]]''. To generate fan interest in the upcoming album, the band hit the road in the fall of 2004 with the "An Evening With Queensrÿche" tour. The tour opened with a shortened greatest hits set, followed by a revised production of ''Operation: Mindcrime'' with live actors and video; [[Pamela Moore]] reprised her role as Sister Mary. The band played a pre-recorded version of "Hostage," a track from the upcoming album, through the PA as an encore after the end of their set. The second leg of the tour began in early 2005. Before embarking on a third leg in the fall of 2005, Queensrÿche toured with [[Judas Priest]] across North America, playing an hour-long set consisting mostly of the band's older works and one song from the soon-to-be released sequel, entitled "I'm American".<br />
<br />
''[[Operation: Mindcrime II]]'' was released internationally on March 31, 2006. The album was Queensrÿche's first for their new label, [[Rhino Entertainment]], to which it signed in 2005. [[Ronnie James Dio]] provided the vocals for Dr. X, the villain. The album debuted at No.&nbsp;14, the highest chart position for a Queensrÿche album since 1997. The group embarked on a headlining tour in support of the album, joined by Pamela Moore in her role as Sister Mary.<ref name="erikremec.com">{{cite web|url=http://erikremec.com/pamelamoore.html|title=Sister Mary Breaks Her Silence : 2007 Interview with Erik Remec for FREE!

<br />
===2007–2010: ''Take Cover'' and ''American Soldier''===<br />
On August 9, 2007, the band announced that it would release a new greatest hits album, entitled ''[[Sign of the Times: The Best of Queensrÿche|Sign of the Times]]''. The album was released on August 28, 2007, and a special collector's edition featured a bonus disc including various demos and a new song, "Justified", featuring Chris DeGarmo on guitar. On November 13, 2007, the band released an album of covers entitled ''[[Take Cover (album)|Take Cover]]''. The album contains covers of songs by [[Queen (band)|Queen]], [[U2]], [[The Police]], [[Black Sabbath]], [[Peter Gabriel]], and [[Pink Floyd]], and was the band's second release for Rhino Records. On February 3, 2009, Stone announced the end of his association with Queensrÿche to focus on his side project [[Speed-X]], although court declarations later revealed Geoff and Susan Tate fired him for "making too many grand demands", without discussing their decision with the other band members.<ref name="testimony_wilton" /><br />
<br />
Wilton recorded both lead and rhythm guitar on the band's eleventh studio album, ''[[American Soldier (album)|American Soldier]]'', released on March 31, 2009. The concept album regards war from the perspective of those on the front lines of American wars from [[World War II]] through to the present, especially the [[Iraq War]].<ref name="Queensrÿche-american-soldier">{{cite web |title=American Soldier |url=http://www.queensryche.com/media/audio-releases/american-soldier/ |work=queensryche.com| access-date=February 2, 2010}}</ref> [[Parker Lundgren]] (formerly of The Nihilists and [[Sledgeback]], who also played on Tate's solo tour and was in a relationship with Tate's stepdaughter Miranda)<ref name="testimony_wilton" /> replaced Stone on the ensuing tour.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=113658 |title=Blabbermouth.Net – Guitarist Mike Stone Quits Queensrÿche |publisher=Roadrunnerrecords.com |access-date=July 14, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726025349/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.Net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=113658 |archive-date=July 26, 2011 }}</ref><br />

===2010–2012: ''Dedicated to Chaos''===<br />
In late 2009 and early 2010, the band toured for The Queensrÿche [[Cabaret]]. In November 2010, Queensrÿche played several shows for U.S. troops stationed in Iraq. While at a U.S. military position, explosive shells began falling on the base as the result of a bomb attack. Contrary to some news reports stating that some band members were injured, Tate has said in several interviews that he was misquoted and none of the band members suffered any injuries.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rockaaa.com/featured/queensryche-bombed-in-iraq-890 |title=Queensryche bombed in Iraq |publisher=Rock AAA |date=November 22, 2010 |access-date=July 14, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715194611/http://www.rockaaa.com/featured/queensryche-bombed-in-iraq-890 |archive-date=July 15, 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bravewords.com/news/150895 |title= QUEENSRŸCHE's Geoff Tate – Building His Empires |website=Bravewords.com |access-date=July 14, 2011}}</ref><br />

Meanwhile, Tate, along with his wife, moved forward with the lawsuit they had filed against his former bandmates, claiming unlawful termination<ref name="nochoice" /> and seeking a [[preliminary injunction]] to prevent both himself and the remaining bandmembers from using the Queensrÿche name until the issue was resolved. While the Washington state [[superior court]] denied this motion on July 13, 2012, they also denied a counter-motion for a preliminary [[summary judgment]] filed by the defense (Wilton, Jackson, and Rockenfield); collectively, these rulings enabled both parties to use the brand "Queensrÿche" until a court ruling or settlement further clarified the matter.<ref name="court2013" /> Subsequent to this temporary verdict, both entities toured with independent bands under the "Queensrÿche" moniker between June 2012 and April 2014, with one incarnation consisting of the remaining Queensrÿche members fronted by La Torre, and the other featuring Tate with his own lineup. In addition, both versions of the group released studio albums during this time, with Geoff Tate's incarnation releasing ''[[Frequency Unknown]]'' in April 2013, and the La Torre-fronted lineup releasing a [[Queensrÿche (album)|self-titled album]] two months later.<br />
<br />
A settlement was reached on April 17, 2014,<ref name="settlement" /> and a statement from both parties was released on April 28, 2014.<ref name="Name Settlement" /> The statement announced that Tate lost the brand Queensrÿche to Rockenfield, Wilton and Jackson, who together with La Torre and Lundgren are to be "the sole band recording and touring as Queensrÿche", while former vocalist Tate solely has the right to play ''Operation: Mindcrime'' and ''Operation: Mindcrime II'' in their entirety "in unique performances". On May 5, 2014, a press release was released through Wilton's Facebook page, further clarifying the specifics of the settlement.<ref name="pressrelease2014">{{cite web |title=Full press release / statement: A reinvigorated Queensrÿche starts the writing process for their new album |url=https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10152463499439973&id=63653689972&stream_ref=5 |last=Wilton |first=Michael |work=Facebook |date=May 5, 2014 |access-date=May 6, 2014}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=October 2019}}<br />

On November 7, 2014, the band opened a [[pledge drive]] through [[PledgeMusic]] that allowed fans to pre-order their next album, which would be their second with La Torre and their 14th overall.

On May 1, 2017, Todd La Torre revealed plans for the band's next studio album. He said that approximately 15 songs were ready at that point and that they could be characterized by a faster tempo than those on the previous album. The band hoped to enter the studio in September 2017, for an early 2018 release via Century Media.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/queensryche-hopes-to-begin-recording-new-album-in-september-todd-la-torre-solo-debut-to-arrive-next-year/ |title=Queensrÿche Hopes To Begin Recording New Album in September; Todd La Torre's Solo Debut To Arrive Next Year |work=Blabbermouth.net |date=May 1, 2017 |access-date=May 1, 2017}}</ref> In July 2018, in a Facebook post offering the forthcoming album for early orders, the band announced that the album would be released in 2019.

Queensrÿche's logo, the so-called Tri-Ryche (written without an umlaut on the 'y'), also stems from the band's early years. Artist Wes "Grizz" Griswold, who made the artwork for the ''Queensrÿche'' EP, used to sign his work with a [[doodle]] morphed from a crude drawing of a [[peregrine falcon]].<ref name="mythology">{{cite web|url=http://www.queensrychehistory.com/mytholog.html |title=Mythology |author=H.D.

==History==<br />
===Early years (1997–2000)===<br />

Lostprophets started out as part of the fledgling [[South Wales]] scene—playing gigs at venues across Wales including [[T.J.'s]] in [[Newport, Wales|Newport]].<ref name="allmusicbiography"/><ref name="BBC" /> From there, they went on to tour the UK circuit. The band recorded three demos during this time: ''Here comes the Party'', ''Para Todas las Putas Celosas'', which translates from Spanish as "For all the jealous whores", and ''The Fake Sound of Progress''. These were produced by [[Stuart Richardson]],<ref>{{Cite news<br />

All of the EPs are out of print, and are very rare.<br />
<br />
The band caught the attention of the two [[Music publisher (popular music)|music publisher]]s ''[[Kerrang!]]'' and ''[[Metal Hammer]]'' magazines, receiving glancing reviews from both.<ref name="lasttrainhome"/> In 1999 they signed in with Independent label [[Visible Noise]].<ref name="lasttrainhome"/><br />

The band's debut album ''[[The Fake Sound of Progress]]'' was released through Visible Noise in November.<ref name="lasttrainhome" /> Recorded in less than two weeks for £4,000<ref name="allmusicbiography"/> the record drew on a wide range of influences. It would be re-released the following year through [[Columbia Records]]. Shortly after the completion of the album, DJ Stepzak decided he would not commit to the band and was replaced with musician [[Jamie Oliver (musician)|Jamie Oliver]], who was originally the band's photographer, but was told by the bands management that someone who was not part of the band or crew members could not join them on tour, so Oliver bought a set of turntables and quickly became the band's DJ.<ref name="jamieoliver">{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/genres_artists/rock_pop/lostprophets_jamie_oliver.shtml |title=Lostprophets – Jamie Oliver |access-date=18 February 2009 |publisher=BBC }}</ref><br />

''The Fake Sound of Progress'' featured many references to 1980s [[pop-culture]]. In addition to the [[Duran Duran]] reference in the band's name, there was an image of Venger from the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons (TV series)|Dungeons & Dragons]]'' TV series on the album [[sleeve notes]], as well as song titles like "[[Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja]]" and "Kobrakai". The first song's title was a reference to the video games ''[[Shinobi series|Shinobi]]'' and ''[[Bad Dudes|Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja]]'', while the second was an alternative spelling of [[Cobra Kai]], the name of the karate dojo in the ''[[The Karate Kid (1984 film)|Karate Kid]]'' movies. Another reference is the use of the [[VF-1 Valkyrie]] in Battroid mode from the 1982 [[anime]] ''[[The Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]'' as part of the album illustration.{{Citation needed|date=January 2011}}<br />

The band worked with producer [[Michael Barbiero]] to remaster the album,<ref>Inner liner notes, ''The Fake Sound of Progress'', UK release from Visible Noise</ref> and this new remastered version of the album was released in November 2001.<ref name="NMEten">{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/artists/lostprophets |title=Lostprophets |access-date=17 February 2009 |work=NME }}</ref> The album appears to have divided the band's existing fan base where the first accusations of [[selling out]] were levelled at the band from the underground music scene within which they achieved their first success.<ref name="lasttrainhome" /><br />

During this period, Lostprophets built up a strong live following with [[support act|support]] slots to popular acts such as [[Pitchshifter]], [[Linkin Park]] and [[Deftones]], as well as several headlining stints of their own.<ref name="allmusicbiography"/> They also took part in the successful Nu-Titans tour with [[Defenestration (band)|Defenestration]] among other new UK metal acts of the time.

"Burn Burn" was released on 3 November 2003, and was originally scheduled to be closely followed by the release of the album.<ref name="burnburn"/> The release of the album was delayed several times and a headlining tour of the UK, was also postponed during this time. The band rescheduled the cancelled UK shows, with the exception of their scheduled appearance at the Reading and Leeds Festivals, stating in magazine interviews that honouring those commitments would have meant leaving the recording studio while the album was only half completed.<ref name="BBC" /><br />
<br />
The album's second single "[[Last Train Home (Lostprophets song)|Last Train Home]]" was released on 27 December 2003, and quickly became a smash hit worldwide. The single became the band's second single to chart in the United States, beating out fellow UK rock band [[The Darkness (band)|The Darkness]]' single "[[I Believe in a Thing Called Love]]" (released in November 2003), charting twelve spots higher on Billboard's Mainstream Rock charts upon release in December 2003.

In early 2011, the band rented a house in Norfolk that served as their studio while composing a demo and pre-producing for a new album. The band was also featured on British rapper/producer [[Labrinth]]'s album in late 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.co.uk/artists/labrinth/news/263012-labrinth-nicki-minaj-new-album |title=Labrinth confirms Lostpropehts collab |publisher=MTV |date=21 March 2011 |access-date=16 July 2011}}</ref><br />

In August 2011, the band went on a short UK tour, with dates in [[Cardiff]], [[Bournemouth]], [[Oxford]] and [[Norwich]], as well as the two [[V Festival]] dates, and an additional appearance at the [[Sziget Festival]] in [[Budapest]], Hungary. During this short tour, the band debuted live a new song from the upcoming album, tentatively titled "[[Bring 'Em Down]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxu5q57qg4k |title=Lostprophets – bring 'em down (live at sziget, budapest 13 August 2011) |publisher=YouTube |access-date=26 October 2011}}</ref><br />

<br />
On 9 April, Lostprophets announced that they had signed to Fearless Records and would release ''Weapons'' in the United States on 19 June 2012. Lostprophets played in the Cardiff Motorpoint Arena on 28 April to promote their new album ''Weapons'', and played their second studio album ''Start Something'' in its entirety.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/lostprophets/2012/motorpoint-arena-cardiff-wales-53de4f1d.html |title=Start Something complete set list |publisher=Setlist Fm |date=29 April 2011 |access-date=28 April 2012}}</ref> This show turned out to be a complete disaster for the band; Stuart Richardson commented in 2019 that Watkins "didn't move for the whole set" and that he "sung the wrong words".<ref name="The PRP"/> This led to the band staging an intervention with Watkins, telling him that if he did not clean up his act he would be fired. They were extremely frustrated with him following this performance and even considered disbanding entirely as a result of it. Watkins checked into rehab during a two-month break in the band's touring.<br />
<br />
Lostprophets played select shows in Vans Warped Tour 2012, playing from 12 July through 5 August.<ref>[http://vanswarpedtour.com/blog/id/1845341 Playing at Vans Warped Tour] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330224527/http://vanswarpedtour.com/blog/id/1845341 |date=30 March 2012 }} Vans Warped Tour</ref> Watkins relapsed into drug use during this tour and missed a show, leading to the band having to perform a set with Jamie Oliver on lead vocals. Watkins' temporary absence from the tour led to Stuart Richardson having a violent altercation with him.<ref name="The PRP"/><br />
<br />
The band toured the UK extensively again in November 2012 to coincide with a headline performance at the Vans Warped Tour 2012 UK. They performed what would eventually become their final show at the [[Newport Centre (Wales)|Newport Centre]], [[Newport, Wales]] on 14 November 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/lostprophets/2012/newport-centre-newport-wales-33dafc7d.html|title=Lostprophets Setlist at Newport Centre, Newport, Wales|website=setlist.fm |access-date=18 December 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
Three videos were released from ''Weapons''. On 3 December 2012, Watkins tweeted, "En route to the big smoke to shoot our new musical video". When the band had previously debuted "Bring 'em down" on Zane Lowe's show in February, Watkins stated that the fourth single was to be a "power ballad". However, a finished video was never released.<br />

===Watkins' arrest and band's break-up (2012–2013)===<br />
On 19 December 2012, Watkins was charged with thirteen sexual offences against children, including the attempted rape of a one-year-old girl.<ref>{{cite news|last=Hall|first=John|title=Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins remanded in custody after appearing in court accused of conspiring to rape one-year-old girl|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/lostprophets-singer-ian-watkins-remanded-in-custody-after-appearing-in-court-accused-of-conspiring-to-rape-oneyearold-girl-8425042.html|work=The Independent|access-date=19 December 2012|location=London|date=19 December 2012}}</ref> Watkins originally denied the charges.

On 25 April 2014, it was confirmed by ex-[[Thursday (band)|Thursday]] frontman [[Geoff Rickly]] that he would be working with the remaining band-members on their new project, from a record label perspective through his own label, Collect Records, as a producer and also joining them as a vocalist.

In November 2016, it was reported that Watkins' Twitter account had become active again, new clips of music had surfaced via two SoundCloud accounts ("L'Amour La Morgue" and "Megalelz") that were reportedly attributed to him and that Lostprophets' website had been changed to a single page that described them as "The Straight Edge British Metal Band".

Lostprophets released five studio albums: ''[[The Fake Sound of Progress]]'' (2000),<!-- Please do not change to 2001. Its original release was in 2000. Its remaster release was 2001. --> ''[[Start Something]]'' (2004), ''[[Liberation Transmission]]'' (2006), ''[[The Betrayed (Lostprophets album)|The Betrayed]]'' (2010), and ''[[Weapons (album)|Weapons]]'' (2012).

Awards|''Kerrang!'' Awards]] and nominations.<br />
<br />
In December 2012, Watkins was charged with multiple sexual offences against minors, infants and animals. Lostprophets cancelled all tour dates and disbanded in October 2013, before the end of Watkins' trial. Watkins pleaded guilty to several charges. In December 2013, he was sentenced to 29 years of imprisonment plus six years of extended supervision on licence.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://people.com/crime/lostprophets-ex-singer-ian-watkins-sentenced-to-29-years-for-child-sex-crimes/ |date=18 December 2013 |access-date=20 April 2022|work=People |title=Lostprophets Ex-Singer Ian Watkins sentenced to 29 Years for Child Sex Crimes}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://pastebin.com/wyEJa1U1|title=Ian Watkins Lostprophets child-abuse-trial|access-date=29 June 2014|archive-date=12 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160312100358/http://pastebin.com/wyEJa1U1|url-status=dead}}</ref> In June 2014, the remaining members joined American singer [[Geoff Rickly]] to form a new band, [[No Devotion]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Early years (1997–2000)===<br />
Lostprophets was formed by Ian Watkins and [[Lee Gaze]] in 1997 in Pontypridd, Wales,<ref name="allmusicbiography">{{cite web |first=David |last=Jeffries |url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=mn0000208218/biography|pure_url=yes}} |title=Lostprophets biography |access-date=17 February 2009 |work=AllMusic }}</ref> after their previous band Fleshbind disbanded. They could not find a singer, so Watkins decided he would switch from drums to be the frontman and they recruited Mike Chiplin on drums. Mike Lewis joined a few months later as bassist after the original bandmember left.<ref name="allmusicbiography"/> Both Lewis and Watkins were also in the [[metalcore]] band Public Disturbance, until 1998 and 2000 respectively.<ref name="lasttrainhome">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/lostprophets/ |title=Lostprophets |access-date=17 February 2009 |publisher=BBC Wales |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090801080334/http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/genres_artists/rock_pop/lostprophets.shtml |archive-date=1 August 2009 }}</ref><ref name="BBC">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/lostprophets/pages/mike_lewis.shtml |title=Lostprophets: Mike Lewis |publisher=BBC Wales |access-date=24 June 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080109145305/http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/lostprophets/pages/mike_lewis.shtml |archive-date=9 January 2008 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }}</ref><br />
<br />
Lostprophets started out as part of the fledgling [[South Wales]] scene—playing gigs at venues across Wales including [[T.J.'s]] in [[Newport, Wales|Newport]].<ref name="allmusicbiography"/><ref name="BBC" /> From there, they went on to tour the UK circuit. The band recorded three demos during this time: ''Here comes the Party'', ''Para Todas las Putas Celosas'', which translates from Spanish as "For all the jealous whores", and ''The Fake Sound of Progress''. These were produced by [[Stuart Richardson]],<ref>{{Cite news<br />
| title = United They Stand<br />
| newspaper = [[Kerrang!]]<br />
| pages = 22–27<br />
| date = 7 October 2009<br />
}}</ref> who joined the band as bassist for the latter recording.<ref name="BBC" /> Mike Lewis at this point switched to rhythm guitar. ''The Fake Sound of Progress'' also included the addition of DJ Stepzak, who would remain with the band for around a year.<ref name=lineups>{{cite web<br />

}}</ref> The first three tracks from their third demo were refined and re-recorded for the release of their debut album of the same name: the title track, "MOAC Supreme" and "Stopquote"—the latter two were renamed "A Thousand Apologies" and "Awkward", respectively. All of the EPs are out of print, and are very rare.<br />
<br />
The band caught the attention of the two [[Music publisher (popular music)|music publisher]]s ''[[Kerrang!]]'' and ''[[Metal Hammer]]'' magazines, receiving glancing reviews from both.<ref name="lasttrainhome"/> In 1999 they signed in with Independent label [[Visible Noise]].<ref name="lasttrainhome"/><br />
<br />
===''The Fake Sound of Progress'' (2000–2002)===<br />
{{Main|The Fake Sound of Progress}}<br />
The band's debut album ''[[The Fake Sound of Progress]]'' was released through Visible Noise in November.<ref name="lasttrainhome" /> Recorded in less than two weeks for £4,000<ref name="allmusicbiography"/> the record drew on a wide range of influences. It would be re-released the following year through [[Columbia Records]]. Shortly after the completion of the album, DJ Stepzak decided he would not commit to the band and was replaced with musician [[Jamie Oliver (musician)|Jamie Oliver]], who was originally the band's photographer, but was told by the bands management that someone who was not part of the band or crew members could not join them on tour, so Oliver bought a set of turntables and quickly became the band's DJ.<ref name="jamieoliver">{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/genres_artists/rock_pop/lostprophets_jamie_oliver.shtml |title=Lostprophets – Jamie Oliver |access-date=18 February 2009 |publisher=BBC }}</ref><br />
<br />
''The Fake Sound of Progress'' featured many references to 1980s [[pop-culture]]. In addition to the [[Duran Duran]] reference in the band's name, there was an image of Venger from the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons (TV series)|Dungeons & Dragons]]'' TV series on the album [[sleeve notes]], as well as song titles like "[[Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja]]" and "Kobrakai". The first song's title was a reference to the video games ''[[Shinobi series|Shinobi]]'' and ''[[Bad Dudes|Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja]]'', while the second was an alternative spelling of [[Cobra Kai]], the name of the karate dojo in the ''[[The Karate Kid (1984 film)|Karate Kid]]'' movies. Another reference is the use of the [[VF-1 Valkyrie]] in Battroid mode from the 1982 [[anime]] ''[[The Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]'' as part of the album illustration.{{Citation needed|date=January 2011}}<br />
<br />
The band worked with producer [[Michael Barbiero]] to remaster the album,<ref>Inner liner notes, ''The Fake Sound of Progress'', UK release from Visible Noise</ref> and this new remastered version of the album was released in November 2001.<ref name="NMEten">{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/artists/lostprophets |title=Lostprophets |access-date=17 February 2009 |work=NME }}</ref> The album appears to have divided the band's existing fan base where the first accusations of [[selling out]] were levelled at the band from the underground music scene within which they achieved their first success.<ref name="lasttrainhome" /><br />
<br />
During this period, Lostprophets built up a strong live following with [[support act|support]] slots to popular acts such as [[Pitchshifter]], [[Linkin Park]] and [[Deftones]], as well as several headlining stints of their own.<ref name="allmusicbiography"/> They also took part in the successful Nu-Titans tour with [[Defenestration (band)|Defenestration]] among other new UK metal acts of the time.

After the extensive touring cycle for ''[[The Fake Sound of Progress]]'' finally ended, the band took a brief break before beginning the process of writing new material for ''[[Start Something]]'' at Frontline Studios in [[Caerphilly]], Wales.<ref name="purevolume">{{cite web |url=http://www.purevolume.com/lostprophets |title=Lostprophets |access-date=17 February 2009 |publisher=Pure Volume|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090226041728/http://www.purevolume.com/lostprophets |archive-date=26 February 2009 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> They then entered Los Angeles's Barefoot Studio for a recording process that lasted from March until September 2003, with producer Eric Valentine.<ref name="purevolume"/> Valentine had previously produced albums for [[Queens of the Stone Age]] and [[Good Charlotte]].<ref name="purevolume"/><ref name="AbsolutePunk">{{cite web | url=http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=289218 | title=Lostprophets Recording Update | work=Absolute Punk | date=5 January 2024 }}</ref><br />
<br />

"Burn Burn" was released on 3 November 2003, and was originally scheduled to be closely followed by the release of the album.<ref name="burnburn"/> The release of the album was delayed several times and a headlining tour of the UK, was also postponed during this time. The band rescheduled the cancelled UK shows, with the exception of their scheduled appearance at the Reading and Leeds Festivals, stating in magazine interviews that honouring those commitments would have meant leaving the recording studio while the album was only half completed.<ref name="BBC" /><br />
<br />
The album's second single "[[Last Train Home (Lostprophets song)|Last Train Home]]" was released on 27 December 2003, and quickly became a smash hit worldwide. The single became the band's second single to chart in the United States, beating out fellow UK rock band [[The Darkness (band)|The Darkness]]' single "[[I Believe in a Thing Called Love]]" (released in November 2003), charting twelve spots higher on Billboard's Mainstream Rock charts upon release in December 2003. "Last Train Home" became the highest charting single in the United States from any UK artist released in 2003.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/slipknot-metallica-the-darkness-among-best-band-nominees-at-kerrang-awards|title=SLIPKNOT, METALLICA, THE DARKNESS Among 'Best Band' Nominees At KERRANG!

On 19 June 2005, founding member Mike Chiplin left the group to pursue other musical opportunities. Since then, he joined another band called The Unsung, and played with Accident Music until their split in 2011, which also featured Chris Morgan of Midasuno and former [[Funeral for a Friend]] guitarist Darran Smith.

The remaining members began working on material for the next album.<ref name="BBCUnsung"/> Due to the lengthy gap between ''[[The Fake Sound of Progress]]'' and ''[[Start Something]]'', and the backlash that grew against the band because of it, the remaining band members stated in various interviews that they wanted to release their third album in early 2006.<ref name="BBCUnsung"/><ref name="NME 4">{{cite web | url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/lostprophets-94-1355916 | title=Lostprophets: The Sound of Progress | work=NME | date=10 January 2005 | access-date=21 April 2022}}</ref> As with ''[[Start Something]]'', the band wrote and recorded demo tracks for the album (with Ian Watkins playing the drums) in a UK recording studio before completing the album in America.<ref name="BBC" /> ''[[Liberation Transmission]]'' was recorded in Hawaii, and saw the band work with [[Bob Rock]].

Writing and recording the band's fourth studio album began in early 2007. Originally the band stated that they wanted the album released in 2007; however, due to both touring and being unhappy with the results of their work in the studio, the band did not keep to their original release plan. Despite recording an entire album's worth of material with producer [[John Feldmann]], this work was shelved<ref name="RockSound">{{cite web | url=http://www.rock-sound.net/articles/2220/Lostprophets-On-Album-Four.html | title=ostprophets on Album Four | work=Rock Sound | date=October 2008 }}{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> in favour of material they later recorded and produced themselves, with recording sessions for what would later be known as ''[[The Betrayed (Lostprophets album)|The Betrayed]]'' beginning in November 2008.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lostprophets studio blog 1 |date=28 November 2008 |url=http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=47309520 |access-date=7 August 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205054904/http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=47309520 |archive-date=5 December 2008 }}</ref> Consequently, the album was not released until 13 January 2010, where it reached a peak of 3 on the [[UK Albums Chart]].<br />

Throughout the earlier part of 2008, the band performed several dates, including [[Download Festival]] which they headlined on the Sunday night, [[V Festival]] and [[Rock am Ring and Rock im Park]], as well as a small number of performances around the UK.<ref name="Metal Underground">{{cite web | url=http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=34522 | title=More bands announced for Download Festival | work=Metal Underground | access-date=18 February 2009 }}</ref><ref name="bbctwte">{{cite news | first=Del | last=Crookes | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_7456000/7456196.stm | title=Lostprophets bring Download to a close | publisher=BBC | access-date=18 February 2009 | date=16 June 2008 | location=London}}</ref> They also headlined the NME/Radio 1 tent at 2009's [[Reading and Leeds Festival]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.readingfestival.com/news/index.aspx?aid=b092f8b9-2b03-4fe6-bbbd-ba9ff4e82b89 |title=Reading 2010 |publisher=Reading Festival |access-date=14 September 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090410052953/http://www.readingfestival.com/news/index.aspx?aid=b092f8b9-2b03-4fe6-bbbd-ba9ff4e82b89 |archive-date=10 April 2009 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><br />

The band claimed that ''The Betrayed'' is "by far the finest, darkest and most real album" of their career.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=9108149&blogID=480185400 |title=Myspace blog |publisher=[[MySpace]] |access-date=14 September 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100808161949/http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=9108149&blogID=480185400 |archive-date=8 August 2010 }}</ref> Originally, Ian Watkins stated he wanted the new album to be "nastier" and "darker" than previous efforts, with more energy and vibe than before.

Following Rubin's departure, [[Luke Johnson (musician)|Luke Johnson]] of [[Beat Union]] was officially announced as the band's new drummer in August 2009.

The band commenced their UK tour with support from [[Kids in Glass Houses]], Hexes, [[We Are the Ocean|We are the Ocean]], and [[Sharks (band formed 2007)|Sharks]], in February 2010. The Doncaster date to the UK tour was cancelled and refunded, but no reason was given for the cancellation.

On 9 April, Lostprophets announced that they had signed to Fearless Records and would release ''Weapons'' in the United States on 19 June 2012. Lostprophets played in the Cardiff Motorpoint Arena on 28 April to promote their new album ''Weapons'', and played their second studio album ''Start Something'' in its entirety.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/lostprophets/2012/motorpoint-arena-cardiff-wales-53de4f1d.html |title=Start Something complete set list |publisher=Setlist Fm |date=29 April 2011 |access-date=28 April 2012}}</ref> This show turned out to be a complete disaster for the band; Stuart Richardson commented in 2019 that Watkins "didn't move for the whole set" and that he "sung the wrong words".<ref name="The PRP"/> This led to the band staging an intervention with Watkins, telling him that if he did not clean up his act he would be fired. They were extremely frustrated with him following this performance and even considered disbanding entirely as a result of it.

The band toured the UK extensively again in November 2012 to coincide with a headline performance at the Vans Warped Tour 2012 UK.

On 1 October 2013, Lostprophets announced that they were disbanding "after nearly a year of coming to terms with our heartache".

They stated that they had been unaware of his crimes, and that though working with him had become "a constant, miserable challenge", they had "never imagined him capable of behaviour of the type he has now admitted".

===Aftermath (2014–present)===<br />
{{Main|No Devotion}}<br />
On 25 April 2014, it was confirmed by ex-[[Thursday (band)|Thursday]] frontman [[Geoff Rickly]] that he would be working with the remaining band-members on their new project, from a record label perspective through his own label, Collect Records, as a producer and also joining them as a vocalist. Rickly regarded their new material as having influences from [[Joy Division]], [[New Order (band)|New Order]] and [[The Cure]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/geoff_rickly_thursday_address_rumors_of_working_with_lostprophets_members |title=Geoff Rickly (Thursday) addresses rumors of working with Lostprophets members|publisher=Alternative Press|last=Crane|first=Matt|date=25 April 2014}}</ref> It was announced the new band would be called [[No Devotion]] and they released their first and second singles, "Stay", and "Eyeshadow", on 1 July 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.teamrock.com/news/2014-07-01/no-devotion-rise-from-ashes-of-lostprophets |title=No Devotion rise from ashes of Lostprophets|website=Teamrock.com|date=1 July 2014}}</ref><br />
<br />
In November 2016, it was reported that Watkins' Twitter account had become active again, new clips of music had surfaced via two SoundCloud accounts ("L'Amour La Morgue" and "Megalelz") that were reportedly attributed to him and that Lostprophets' website had been changed to a single page that described them as "The Straight Edge British Metal Band".

'''Lostprophets''' (stylised as '''lostprophets''' or '''LOSTPROPHETS''') were a Welsh [[Rock music|rock]] band from [[Pontypridd]], formed in 1997 by singer [[Ian Watkins (Lostprophets singer)|Ian Watkins]] and guitarist [[Lee Gaze]]. The group was founded after their former band Fleshbind broke up. They later recruited [[Mike Lewis (musician)|Mike Lewis]] on guitars, [[Stuart Richardson]] on bass and Mike Chiplin on drums.<ref>{{cite web |last=Bryan |first=Beverly |date=1 June 2012 |title=Lostprophets Found: Welsh Rockers Get Their Spirits Back On Weapons |url=http://www.mtviggy.com/interviews/lostprophets-found-welsh-rockers-get-their-spirits-back-with-a-fourth-album/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202222547/http://www.mtviggy.com/interviews/lostprophets-found-welsh-rockers-get-their-spirits-back-with-a-fourth-album/ |archive-date=2 December 2013 |access-date=26 November 2013 |website=MTV Iggy}}</ref><br />
<br />
Lostprophets released five studio albums: ''[[The Fake Sound of Progress]]'' (2000),<!-- Please do not change to 2001. Its original release was in 2000. Its remaster release was 2001. --> ''[[Start Something]]'' (2004), ''[[Liberation Transmission]]'' (2006), ''[[The Betrayed (Lostprophets album)|The Betrayed]]'' (2010), and ''[[Weapons (album)|Weapons]]'' (2012). They sold 3.5 million albums worldwide, achieving two top-ten singles on the [[UK Singles Chart]] ("[[Last Train Home (Lostprophets song)|Last Train Home]]" and "[[Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast)|Rooftops]]"), a No. 1 single on the US [[Alternative Songs]] chart ("Last Train Home"), and several [[Kerrang! Awards|''Kerrang!'' Awards]] and nominations.<br />
<br />
In December 2012, Watkins was charged with multiple sexual offences against minors, infants and animals. Lostprophets cancelled all tour dates and disbanded in October 2013, before the end of Watkins' trial. Watkins pleaded guilty to several charges. In December 2013, he was sentenced to 29 years of imprisonment plus six years of extended supervision on licence.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://people.com/crime/lostprophets-ex-singer-ian-watkins-sentenced-to-29-years-for-child-sex-crimes/ |date=18 December 2013 |access-date=20 April 2022|work=People |title=Lostprophets Ex-Singer Ian Watkins sentenced to 29 Years for Child Sex Crimes}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://pastebin.com/wyEJa1U1|title=Ian Watkins Lostprophets child-abuse-trial|access-date=29 June 2014|archive-date=12 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160312100358/http://pastebin.com/wyEJa1U1|url-status=dead}}</ref> In June 2014, the remaining members joined American singer [[Geoff Rickly]] to form a new band, [[No Devotion]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Early years (1997–2000)===<br />
Lostprophets was formed by Ian Watkins and [[Lee Gaze]] in 1997 in Pontypridd, Wales,<ref name="allmusicbiography">{{cite web |first=David |last=Jeffries |url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=mn0000208218/biography|pure_url=yes}} |title=Lostprophets biography |access-date=17 February 2009 |work=AllMusic }}</ref> after their previous band Fleshbind disbanded. They could not find a singer, so Watkins decided he would switch from drums to be the frontman and they recruited Mike Chiplin on drums. Mike Lewis joined a few months later as bassist after the original bandmember left.<ref name="allmusicbiography"/> Both Lewis and Watkins were also in the [[metalcore]] band Public Disturbance, until 1998 and 2000 respectively.<ref name="lasttrainhome">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/lostprophets/ |title=Lostprophets |access-date=17 February 2009 |publisher=BBC Wales |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090801080334/http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/genres_artists/rock_pop/lostprophets.shtml |archive-date=1 August 2009 }}</ref><ref name="BBC">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/lostprophets/pages/mike_lewis.shtml |title=Lostprophets: Mike Lewis |publisher=BBC Wales |access-date=24 June 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080109145305/http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/lostprophets/pages/mike_lewis.shtml |archive-date=9 January 2008 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }}</ref><br />
<br />
Lostprophets started out as part of the fledgling [[South Wales]] scene—playing gigs at venues across Wales including [[T.J.'s]] in [[Newport, Wales|Newport]].<ref name="allmusicbiography"/><ref name="BBC" /> From there, they went on to tour the UK circuit. The band recorded three demos during this time: ''Here comes the Party'', ''Para Todas las Putas Celosas'', which translates from Spanish as "For all the jealous whores", and ''The Fake Sound of Progress''. These were produced by [[Stuart Richardson]],<ref>{{Cite news<br />
| title = United They Stand<br />
| newspaper = [[Kerrang!]]<br />
| pages = 22–27<br />
| date = 7 October 2009<br />
}}</ref> who joined the band as bassist for the latter recording.<ref name="BBC" /> Mike Lewis at this point switched to rhythm guitar. ''The Fake Sound of Progress'' also included the addition of DJ Stepzak, who would remain with the band for around a year.<ref name=lineups>{{cite web<br />

}}</ref> The first three tracks from their third demo were refined and re-recorded for the release of their debut album of the same name: the title track, "MOAC Supreme" and "Stopquote"—the latter two were renamed "A Thousand Apologies" and "Awkward", respectively. All of the EPs are out of print, and are very rare.<br />
<br />
The band caught the attention of the two [[Music publisher (popular music)|music publisher]]s ''[[Kerrang!]]'' and ''[[Metal Hammer]]'' magazines, receiving glancing reviews from both.<ref name="lasttrainhome"/> In 1999 they signed in with Independent label [[Visible Noise]].<ref name="lasttrainhome"/><br />
<br />
===''The Fake Sound of Progress'' (2000–2002)===<br />
{{Main|The Fake Sound of Progress}}<br />
The band's debut album ''[[The Fake Sound of Progress]]'' was released through Visible Noise in November.<ref name="lasttrainhome" /> Recorded in less than two weeks for £4,000<ref name="allmusicbiography"/> the record drew on a wide range of influences. It would be re-released the following year through [[Columbia Records]]. Shortly after the completion of the album, DJ Stepzak decided he would not commit to the band and was replaced with musician [[Jamie Oliver (musician)|Jamie Oliver]], who was originally the band's photographer, but was told by the bands management that someone who was not part of the band or crew members could not join them on tour, so Oliver bought a set of turntables and quickly became the band's DJ.<ref name="jamieoliver">{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/genres_artists/rock_pop/lostprophets_jamie_oliver.shtml |title=Lostprophets – Jamie Oliver |access-date=18 February 2009 |publisher=BBC }}</ref><br />
<br />
''The Fake Sound of Progress'' featured many references to 1980s [[pop-culture]]. In addition to the [[Duran Duran]] reference in the band's name, there was an image of Venger from the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons (TV series)|Dungeons & Dragons]]'' TV series on the album [[sleeve notes]], as well as song titles like "[[Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja]]" and "Kobrakai". The first song's title was a reference to the video games ''[[Shinobi series|Shinobi]]'' and ''[[Bad Dudes|Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja]]'', while the second was an alternative spelling of [[Cobra Kai]], the name of the karate dojo in the ''[[The Karate Kid (1984 film)|Karate Kid]]'' movies. Another reference is the use of the [[VF-1 Valkyrie]] in Battroid mode from the 1982 [[anime]] ''[[The Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]'' as part of the album illustration.{{Citation needed|date=January 2011}}<br />
<br />
The band worked with producer [[Michael Barbiero]] to remaster the album,<ref>Inner liner notes, ''The Fake Sound of Progress'', UK release from Visible Noise</ref> and this new remastered version of the album was released in November 2001.<ref name="NMEten">{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/artists/lostprophets |title=Lostprophets |access-date=17 February 2009 |work=NME }}</ref> The album appears to have divided the band's existing fan base where the first accusations of [[selling out]] were levelled at the band from the underground music scene within which they achieved their first success.<ref name="lasttrainhome" /><br />
<br />
During this period, Lostprophets built up a strong live following with [[support act|support]] slots to popular acts such as [[Pitchshifter]], [[Linkin Park]] and [[Deftones]], as well as several headlining stints of their own.<ref name="allmusicbiography"/> They also took part in the successful Nu-Titans tour with [[Defenestration (band)|Defenestration]] among other new UK metal acts of the time. Co-headlining the 2002 [[Deconstruction Tour]] in London, supporting acts included [[Mighty Mighty Bosstones]] and [[the Mad Caddies]].<ref name="NMEfour">{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/lostprophets-105-1384034|title='Prophet Take Top Billing |access-date=21 April 2022 |work=NME |date=5 April 2002 }}</ref> Lostprophets featured on a bill consisting of more traditionally [[punk rock|punk]] oriented acts. This provoked hostility from certain members of the audience, who were upset at Lostprophets inclusion on such a bill. The band subsequently toured with [[Ozzfest]], played at [[Glastonbury Festival|Glastonbury]] and the [[Reading and Leeds Festival]].<ref name="allmusicbiography"/><ref name="NMEthree">{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/lostprophets-107-1370821<br />

After the extensive touring cycle for ''[[The Fake Sound of Progress]]'' finally ended, the band took a brief break before beginning the process of writing new material for ''[[Start Something]]'' at Frontline Studios in [[Caerphilly]], Wales.<ref name="purevolume">{{cite web |url=http://www.purevolume.com/lostprophets |title=Lostprophets |access-date=17 February 2009 |publisher=Pure Volume|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090226041728/http://www.purevolume.com/lostprophets |archive-date=26 February 2009 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> They then entered Los Angeles's Barefoot Studio for a recording process that lasted from March until September 2003, with producer Eric Valentine.<ref name="purevolume"/> Valentine had previously produced albums for [[Queens of the Stone Age]] and [[Good Charlotte]].<ref name="purevolume"/><ref name="AbsolutePunk">{{cite web | url=http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=289218 | title=Lostprophets Recording Update | work=Absolute Punk | date=5 January 2024 }}</ref><br />
<br />
The first single released from the album was the song "[[Burn Burn (song)|Burn Burn]]", the music video for which began receiving heavy rotation on satellite and cable channels like [[MTV2]], [[Kerrang! TV]] and [[Scuzz]] in the UK.<ref name="BBC" /><ref name="burnburn">{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/lostprophets-106-1369387 |title=Lostprophets Make Fiery Return |access-date=21 April 2022|website=NME |date=15 September 2003 }}</ref> The song attracted some criticism, however, as the opening bore a striking resemblance to "Mother Mary", a song from the band [[Far (band)|Far]]'s ''[[Water and Solutions]]'' album. The band themselves even conceded in interviews that the singing pattern bore an undeniable similarity to the [[Adamski]] song "[[Killer (Adamski song)|Killer]]".<ref name="BBC Burn Burn">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/lostprophets/pages/burn_burn.shtml |title=Lostprophets: Burn Burn |publisher=BBC Wales |access-date=24 June 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070129074456/http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/lostprophets/pages/burn_burn.shtml |archive-date=29 January 2007 }}</ref><br />
<br />
"Burn Burn" was released on 3 November 2003, and was originally scheduled to be closely followed by the release of the album.<ref name="burnburn"/> The release of the album was delayed several times and a headlining tour of the UK, was also postponed during this time. The band rescheduled the cancelled UK shows, with the exception of their scheduled appearance at the Reading and Leeds Festivals, stating in magazine interviews that honouring those commitments would have meant leaving the recording studio while the album was only half completed.<ref name="BBC" /><br />
<br />
The album's second single "[[Last Train Home (Lostprophets song)|Last Train Home]]" was released on 27 December 2003, and quickly became a smash hit worldwide. The single became the band's second single to chart in the United States, beating out fellow UK rock band [[The Darkness (band)|The Darkness]]' single "[[I Believe in a Thing Called Love]]" (released in November 2003), charting twelve spots higher on Billboard's Mainstream Rock charts upon release in December 2003. "Last Train Home" became the highest charting single in the United States from any UK artist released in 2003.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/slipknot-metallica-the-darkness-among-best-band-nominees-at-kerrang-awards|title=SLIPKNOT, METALLICA, THE DARKNESS Among 'Best Band' Nominees At KERRANG!

On 19 June 2005, founding member Mike Chiplin left the group to pursue other musical opportunities. Since then, he joined another band called The Unsung, and played with Accident Music until their split in 2011, which also featured Chris Morgan of Midasuno and former [[Funeral for a Friend]] guitarist Darran Smith.

<br />
The remaining members began working on material for the next album.<ref name="BBCUnsung"/> Due to the lengthy gap between ''[[The Fake Sound of Progress]]'' and ''[[Start Something]]'', and the backlash that grew against the band because of it, the remaining band members stated in various interviews that they wanted to release their third album in early 2006.<ref name="BBCUnsung"/><ref name="NME 4">{{cite web | url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/lostprophets-94-1355916 | title=Lostprophets: The Sound of Progress | work=NME | date=10 January 2005 | access-date=21 April 2022}}</ref> As with ''[[Start Something]]'', the band wrote and recorded demo tracks for the album (with Ian Watkins playing the drums) in a UK recording studio before completing the album in America.<ref name="BBC" /> ''[[Liberation Transmission]]'' was recorded in Hawaii, and saw the band work with [[Bob Rock]].

Writing and recording the band's fourth studio album began in early 2007. Originally the band stated that they wanted the album released in 2007; however, due to both touring and being unhappy with the results of their work in the studio, the band did not keep to their original release plan. Despite recording an entire album's worth of material with producer [[John Feldmann]], this work was shelved<ref name="RockSound">{{cite web | url=http://www.rock-sound.net/articles/2220/Lostprophets-On-Album-Four.html | title=ostprophets on Album Four | work=Rock Sound | date=October 2008 }}{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> in favour of material they later recorded and produced themselves, with recording sessions for what would later be known as ''[[The Betrayed (Lostprophets album)|The Betrayed]]'' beginning in November 2008.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lostprophets studio blog 1 |date=28 November 2008 |url=http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=47309520 |access-date=7 August 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205054904/http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=47309520 |archive-date=5 December 2008 }}</ref> Consequently, the album was not released until 13 January 2010, where it reached a peak of 3 on the [[UK Albums Chart]].<br />
<br />
Throughout the earlier part of 2008, the band performed several dates, including [[Download Festival]] which they headlined on the Sunday night, [[V Festival]] and [[Rock am Ring and Rock im Park]], as well as a small number of performances around the UK.<ref name="Metal Underground">{{cite web | url=http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=34522 | title=More bands announced for Download Festival | work=Metal Underground | access-date=18 February 2009 }}</ref><ref name="bbctwte">{{cite news | first=Del | last=Crookes | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_7456000/7456196.stm | title=Lostprophets bring Download to a close | publisher=BBC | access-date=18 February 2009 | date=16 June 2008 | location=London}}</ref> They also headlined the NME/Radio 1 tent at 2009's [[Reading and Leeds Festival]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.readingfestival.com/news/index.aspx?aid=b092f8b9-2b03-4fe6-bbbd-ba9ff4e82b89 |title=Reading 2010 |publisher=Reading Festival |access-date=14 September 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090410052953/http://www.readingfestival.com/news/index.aspx?aid=b092f8b9-2b03-4fe6-bbbd-ba9ff4e82b89 |archive-date=10 April 2009 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><br />
<br />
The band claimed that ''The Betrayed'' is "by far the finest, darkest and most real album" of their career.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=9108149&blogID=480185400 |title=Myspace blog |publisher=[[MySpace]] |access-date=14 September 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100808161949/http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=9108149&blogID=480185400 |archive-date=8 August 2010 }}</ref> Originally, Ian Watkins stated he wanted the new album to be "nastier" and "darker" than previous efforts, with more energy and vibe than before. In a blog post, guitarist Mike Lewis suggested that Ilan Rubin (who subsequently left the band to join [[Nine Inch Nails]]<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/nme-1320-1336593 | title=Lostprophets drummer to join Nine Inch Nails full-time | work=NME | date=18 November 2008 | access-date=24 April 2022}}</ref>) was very much a large part of the writing/recording process. Following Rubin's departure, [[Luke Johnson (musician)|Luke Johnson]] of [[Beat Union]] was officially announced as the band's new drummer in August 2009. During this time, ''[[Kerrang!]]'' published a "world exclusive" article on Lostprophets, revealing the album's title, and its release date of January 2010.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}} In a later interview with Kerrang in early 2009, Watkins stated that the record was "the most honest album" the band has ever done, and that overall the record was "a lot grittier and sleazier", while also stating that did not mean "it won't be catchy", but that it would not be done "in such a twee way".{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}} When speaking about what the record would sound like, Jamie Oliver stated that he felt it had "the bite that ''[[Start Something]]'' had, with the song-ability of ''Liberation Transmission'' but personality of ''The Fake Sound of Progress''".<ref>{{cite tweet|user=JayLostprophets|number=1664692383 |title=people are asking what the new album will sound like, whether it will be like the old stuff... |first=Jamie |last=Lostprophets |date=30 April 2009 |access-date=14 September 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite tweet|user=JayLostprophets|number=1664703557 |title=To me it has the bite that SS had, with the song-ability of LT but personality of FSOP |first=Jamie |last=Lostprophets |date=1 May 2009|access-date=14 September 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite tweet|user=JayLostprophets|number=1664729240 |title=The dark element is brought by Ian and most of his lyrics... like a buff evil ninja disguised as a Male model haha |first=Jamie |last=Lostprophets |date=1 May 2009|access-date=14 September 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite tweet|user=JayLostprophets|number=1664752259 |title=It's a classy rock sorta heavy without sounding like bad metal. but catchy as feck, and also a little more grown up |first=Jamie |last=Lostprophets |date=1 May 2009 |access-date=14 September 2010}}</ref><br />

The first single from the new album, "[[It's Not the End of the World, But I Can See It from Here]]", was aired for the first time on [[BBC Radio 1]] on 19 August. It was subsequently released on 12 October 2009 and reached No.&nbsp;16 on the Official UK chart. This was followed by "[[Where We Belong (Lostprophets song)|Where We Belong]]", which was released on 4 January 2010.<br />
<br />
The band commenced their UK tour with support from [[Kids in Glass Houses]], Hexes, [[We Are the Ocean|We are the Ocean]], and [[Sharks (band formed 2007)|Sharks]], in February 2010. The Doncaster date to the UK tour was cancelled and refunded, but no reason was given for the cancellation. The Port Talbot date of the tour was postponed and moved to a different venue due to a fire at the [[Afan Lido]] leisure centre. The show took place on 1 May at the [[Cardiff International Arena]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/lostprophets-65-1292299 |title=Lostprophets cancel Port Talbot show due to fire |work=NME |date=27 January 2010 |access-date=25 April 2022}}</ref> Lostprophets confirmed that they would tour Australia.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.myspace.com/lostprophets |title=Australia The Betrayed Tour Dates |date=8 January 2018 }}</ref> The tour took place on 27 March 2010 at The Roundhouse, [[New South Wales|NSW]], Sydney.

In early 2011, the band rented a house in Norfolk that served as their studio while composing a demo and pre-producing for a new album. The band was also featured on British rapper/producer [[Labrinth]]'s album in late 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.co.uk/artists/labrinth/news/263012-labrinth-nicki-minaj-new-album |title=Labrinth confirms Lostpropehts collab |publisher=MTV |date=21 March 2011 |access-date=16 July 2011}}</ref><br />

In August 2011, the band went on a short UK tour, with dates in [[Cardiff]], [[Bournemouth]], [[Oxford]] and [[Norwich]], as well as the two [[V Festival]] dates, and an additional appearance at the [[Sziget Festival]] in [[Budapest]], Hungary. During this short tour, the band debuted live a new song from the upcoming album, tentatively titled "[[Bring 'Em Down]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxu5q57qg4k |title=Lostprophets – bring 'em down (live at sziget, budapest 13 August 2011) |publisher=YouTube |access-date=26 October 2011}}</ref><br />

On 9 April, Lostprophets announced that they had signed to Fearless Records and would release ''Weapons'' in the United States on 19 June 2012. Lostprophets played in the Cardiff Motorpoint Arena on 28 April to promote their new album ''Weapons'', and played their second studio album ''Start Something'' in its entirety.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/lostprophets/2012/motorpoint-arena-cardiff-wales-53de4f1d.html |title=Start Something complete set list |publisher=Setlist Fm |date=29 April 2011 |access-date=28 April 2012}}</ref> This show turned out to be a complete disaster for the band; Stuart Richardson commented in 2019 that Watkins "didn't move for the whole set" and that he "sung the wrong words".<ref name="The PRP"/> This led to the band staging an intervention with Watkins, telling him that if he did not clean up his act he would be fired. They were extremely frustrated with him following this performance and even considered disbanding entirely as a result of it. Watkins checked into rehab during a two-month break in the band's touring.<br />
<br />
Lostprophets played select shows in Vans Warped Tour 2012, playing from 12 July through 5 August.<ref>[http://vanswarpedtour.com/blog/id/1845341 Playing at Vans Warped Tour] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330224527/http://vanswarpedtour.com/blog/id/1845341 |date=30 March 2012 }} Vans Warped Tour</ref> Watkins relapsed into drug use during this tour and missed a show, leading to the band having to perform a set with Jamie Oliver on lead vocals. Watkins' temporary absence from the tour led to Stuart Richardson having a violent altercation with him.<ref name="The PRP"/><br />
<br />
The band toured the UK extensively again in November 2012 to coincide with a headline performance at the Vans Warped Tour 2012 UK. They performed what would eventually become their final show at the [[Newport Centre (Wales)|Newport Centre]], [[Newport, Wales]] on 14 November 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/lostprophets/2012/newport-centre-newport-wales-33dafc7d.html|title=Lostprophets Setlist at Newport Centre, Newport, Wales|website=setlist.fm |access-date=18 December 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
Three videos were released from ''Weapons''. On 3 December 2012, Watkins tweeted, "En route to the big smoke to shoot our new musical video". When the band had previously debuted "Bring 'em down" on Zane Lowe's show in February, Watkins stated that the fourth single was to be a "power ballad".

<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The station was launched at 101.1 MHz in 1969 as '''CJET-FM''', a sister station to the [[AM radio]] station [[CJET-FM|CJET]]. The station on 101.1 changed its callsign from CJET-FM to '''CKUE''' in the early 1970s.<br />
<br />
In 1984, the stations were acquired by CHEZ-FM Inc., the owner of Ottawa's [[CHEZ-FM|CHEZ]]. In 1986, CKUE changed its callsign to '''CHEQ''', and adopted the ''Q101'' brand. Q101 switched from its longtime [[adult contemporary]] format to country music in 1990, but the country format was financially unsuccessful.<br />
<br />
In 1993, CHEZ acquired rights to the callsign and format of '''CFMO''', an [[easy listening]] station in Ottawa which [[CHUM Limited]] had converted to [[hot adult contemporary]] [[CKKL-FM|CKKL]].<br />
<br />
In 1999, the CHEZ group of stations were acquired by Rogers Media.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1999/DB99-158.HTM Decision CRTC 99-158]</ref> On December 31 of that year, Rogers converted the station to a [[modern rock]] format and moved the station's studios into Ottawa, using the callsign '''CIOX''' and the brand name '''Xfm'''. However, in 2001 the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|CRTC]] found that by operating CIOX as an Ottawa station, Rogers was in contravention of [[concentration of media ownership|market concentration]] rules about the number of radio stations in a single market that can be owned by the same company. As a result, the CRTC ordered Rogers to return the station to Smiths Falls.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2001/DB2001-257.htm Decision CRTC 2001-257]</ref><br />
<br />
In October 2003, the station stunted for the day as ''101.1 Frank FM'', playing pretty much anything.<ref>[http://www.fybush.com/nerw-yir2003.html#prog 9. Canada Meets "Jack," "Bob" and "Dave"] Scott Fybush, North East Radio Watch, Year in review 2003</ref><ref>[http://www.fybush.com/nerw/2004/nerw-040105.html#can all eyes were on Rogers' CKBY-FM 105.3 Ottawa over the New Year holiday] Scott Fybush, North East Radio Watch, January 5, 2004 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081206083926/http://www.fybush.com/nerw/2004/nerw-040105.html#can |date=December 6, 2008 }}</ref><br />
<br />
On January 9, 2004, at Noon, the station adopted its current format when Rogers converted the former CKBY in Ottawa to the current [[CISS-FM|CISS]]. 101.1 became CKBY "Y101", and 105.3 became CISS a month later after the format change. The final song as 101.1 Xfm was ''[[Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)]]'' by [[Green Day]].<br />
<br />
On June 28, 2013 at 3PM, CKBY-FM changed its moniker to ''Country 101.1'' (pronounced as "Country One-Oh-One-One"). It was part of Rogers' changing of its country-formatted stations to a unified brand. Other than the branding change, no format or staff changes occurred.<ref>[http://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/netgnomes/82242/rogers-planning-a-canadian-national-country-brand/ Radio Insight: "Rogers Launches Canadian Country Brand", July 3, 2013.]</ref><br />
<br />
On December 3, 2020, Rogers reorganized the content of three of its Ottawa-area stations. [[CIWW]] 1310 News became [[CityNews]], [[simulcast]] on both [[1310 AM]] and on [[101.1 FM]]. The station at 92.3 FM was rebranded ''Country 92.3''.<ref>{{cite news |title=1310 NEWS becomes CityNews, serving Ottawa and the Valley |url=https://ottawa.citynews.ca/local-news/1310-news-becomes-citynews-serving-ottawa-and-the-valley-3151012 |access-date=December 3, 2020 |work=CityNews |date=December 3, 2020}}</ref> <ref>[https://www.hometownnews.ca/jack-has-hit-the-road/ JACK has hit the road], ''Hometown News'', December 4, 2020</ref> <br />
<br />
To coincide with Rogers' Ottawa station reorganization, the radio stations at 92.3 and 101.1 swapped their call signs. '''CKBY-FM''' moved from 101.1 to 92.3 FM. And CJET-FM moved from 92.3 to 101.1.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3682764501762872&id=191081700931187 Call Letter Changes in Smiths Falls], ''Canadian Radio News'', December 12, 2020</ref><br />

'''CFMO-FM''' (''Classical 102.9'') is a [[radio station]] broadcasting a [[classical music]] format on 102.9 [[Hertz|MHz]] [[FM broadcasting|FM]] in [[Collingwood, Ontario|Collingwood]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]]. The station is owned by [[ZoomerMedia]], through licensee MZ Media Inc. It is largely a semi-satellite of ZoomerMedia's [[CFMZ-FM]] 96.3 in [[Toronto]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
On February 29, 2012, ZoomerMedia received a license from the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|CRTC]].<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2012/2012-123.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2012-123]</ref> In that same decision, a competing application by [[Evanov Communications]] for a [[soft adult contemporary]] station on 102.9 was denied. The station was originally to operate at 104.9&nbsp;MHz; however, Bayshore Broadcasting was approved to use the 104.9 frequency in [[Shelburne, Ontario|Shelburne]], forcing CFMO-FM to find an alternate frequency.<br />
<br />
On March 15, 2013, the CRTC approved CFMO-FM's application to operate on 102.9&nbsp;MHz.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2013/2013-127.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2013-127], Use of frequency 102.9 MHz by CFMO-FM Collingwood, ''CRTC'', March 15, 2013</ref> The 102.9&nbsp;MHz frequency for CFMO-FM is first adjacent to [[CFGI-FM]] 102.7&nbsp;MHz in [[Georgina Island]], operated by a local [[First Nations]] group, causing potential interference between the two stations. In response to this, ZoomerMedia entered into an agreement with Georgina Island First Nations, in which ZoomerMedia agreed to supply CFGI-FM with new transmitting equipment, refurbish its transmitting antenna and cover the costs related to preparing applications for the CRTC. The relocation of CFGI-FM from 102.7 to its new frequency, 92.3&nbsp;MHz, was approved by the CRTC on March 15, 2013.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2013/2013-127.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2013-127], Technical change for CFGI-FM Georgina Island, ''CRTC'', March 15, 2013</ref><br />
<br />
The station launched on August 30, 2014, as ''Classical 102.9''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.mycollingwood.ca/Classical_102.9_FM_Launches.asp |title=mycollingwood.ca: "Classical 102.9 FM Launches", August 28, 2014. |access-date=September 4, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140905055739/http://www.mycollingwood.ca/Classical_102.9_FM_Launches.asp |archive-date=September 5, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> All music programming is fed from Toronto, though like sister station [[CFMX-FM]] in [[Cobourg, Ontario|Cobourg]], it originates 24 hours per week of local talk and spoken word programming.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
The call letters CFMO and CFMO-FM was originally used by radio station in the [[Ottawa]] area which is known as [[CKKL-FM]]. The call letters were also used on what is now [[CKBY-FM]].<br />

<br />
The station was launched at 101.1 MHz in 1969 as '''CJET-FM''', a sister station to the [[AM radio]] station [[CJET-FM|CJET]]. The station on 101.1 changed its callsign from CJET-FM to '''CKUE''' in the early 1970s.<br />
<br />
In 1984, the stations were acquired by CHEZ-FM Inc., the owner of Ottawa's [[CHEZ-FM|CHEZ]]. In 1986, CKUE changed its callsign to '''CHEQ''', and adopted the ''Q101'' brand. Q101 switched from its longtime [[adult contemporary]] format to country music in 1990, but the country format was financially unsuccessful.<br />

In 1993, CHEZ acquired rights to the callsign and format of '''CFMO''', an [[easy listening]] station in Ottawa which [[CHUM Limited]] had converted to [[hot adult contemporary]] [[CKKL-FM|CKKL]].<br />
<br />
In 1999, the CHEZ group of stations were acquired by Rogers Media.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1999/DB99-158.HTM Decision CRTC 99-158]</ref> On December 31 of that year, Rogers converted the station to a [[modern rock]] format and moved the station's studios into Ottawa, using the callsign '''CIOX''' and the brand name '''Xfm'''.

On December 3, 2020, Rogers reorganized the content of three of its Ottawa-area stations. [[CIWW]] 1310 News became [[CityNews]], [[simulcast]] on both [[1310 AM]] and on [[101.1 FM]].

'''CISS-FM''' (105.3 [[Hertz|MHz]]) is a [[commercial radio|commercial]] [[FM broadcasting|FM]] [[radio station]] in [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]]. The station is owned by [[Rogers Media]] and broadcasts a [[hot adult contemporary]] [[radio format]] [[brand]]ed on-air as ''KiSS 105.3''. The [[radio studio]]s and offices are co-located with its [[sister station]]s at Thurston Drive and Conroy Road.<br />
<br />
CISS-FM has an [[effective radiated power]] (ERP) of 84,000 [[watt]]s. The [[transmitter]] is in [[Camp Fortune, Quebec]], within [[Gatineau Park]].<ref>[https://fccdata.org/?lang=en&canfm=CISS-FM FCCdata.org/CISS-FM]</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The station [[sign-on|signed on]] the air in 1972 with the [[call sign]] '''[[CKBY-FM|CKBY]]''', playing a [[country music|country]] format.<ref>[http://www.ottawacountrymusichof.org/inductees/ckby.htm CKBY Radio - Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame]</ref><br />
<br />
On January 9, [[2004 in radio|2004]], the station adopted a [[hot adult contemporary]] format and the ''105.3 KISS-FM'' moniker. The station launched with [[Pink (singer)|Pink]]'s "[[Get The Party Started]]". A month later after the format change, the station adopted its current call letters. The CISS call sign previously belonged to a [[Toronto]] radio station, also owned by [[Rogers Media|Rogers]], which now uses the call letters [[CKIS-FM]]. The CKBY calls, in turn, were moved to a third Rogers station in [[Smiths Falls, Ontario|Smiths Falls]]. In the station's early years, the station's [[playlist]] was similar to that of [[CHUM-FM]] in Toronto, but with a less [[rhythmic contemporary|rhythmic]] lean. Later that year, it shifted from [[Hot AC]] to [[adult top 40]].<br />
<br />
CISS came at the expense of ''101.1 XFM'', ('''[[CKBY-FM|CIOX-FM]]''') an [[alternative rock]] station that was shut down to make way for KISS and for a move of [[country music|country]] radio ''Y105'', to 101.1 FM as ''Y101'' (currently [[CJET-FM|Country 92.3]] as of December 2020), to another frequency. The two [[Breakfast television|morning show]] hosts of XFM, Mauler and Rush, were temporarily left unemployed. They have since moved to The Morning Hot Tub on [[CIHT-FM]], which is also simulcast on other [[Stingray Group]] stations across Canada.<br />
<br />
With the flip of the [[CKIS-FM|former CISS]] in [[Toronto]] from [[Jack FM]] to [[top 40]] as ''KiSS 92.5'' on June 5, [[2009 in radio|2009]], the CISS calls remained unchanged on this station. Instead, Rogers swapped the [[CJAQ-FM]] calls in Toronto with the former CKIS-FM (a [[Jack FM]] station) in [[Calgary]].<br />
<br />
More recently, as of the fall of [[2009 in radio|2009]], CISS has begun to lean more [[rhythmic contemporary|rhythmic]] again and dropped most [[modern adult contemporary]] artists.<br />
<br />
As of [[2011 in radio|2011]], the station has eliminated the majority of its pre-[[1999 in music|1999]] playlist and moved towards a more 2000s-now direction. A new logo was added, along with adding the tagline "The New" in its "KISS-FM" branding. The station leans heavily on [[rhythmic contemporary|rhythmic]] material, especially during nights and weekends, when the station plays songs that other [[Hot AC]] stations in Canada won't play, more in the style of a [[Contemporary hit radio|CHR]] station and to compete with CIHT. However, CIHT still plays pre-1999 music, and continues to beat Kiss in ratings by a large margin, though CISS's ratings have improved slightly since the addition of rhythmic material. As of March 31, 2014, CISS also picked up more competition in the form of [[CKQB-FM|CKQB]], which flipped from [[active rock]] to a [[Contemporary hit radio|Top 40/CHR]] presentation that heavily favours current rhythmic and [[dance music|dance]] product aimed at young adult and teen listeners. Despite the [[Top 40]] competition from both CIHT and CKQB, CISS, however, remains on the Canadian [[hot AC]] panels of [[Mediabase]] & [[Nielsen BDS]].<br />
<br />
By early 2016, CISS re-branded slightly to ''KiSS 105.3''.<br />
<br />
In September 2016, CISS re-added 1990s music to their playlist and changed the slogan to "The Most Variety from the 90s to Now."<br />
<br />
In August 2021, CISS re-branded as "The Capital's KiSS 105.3", and changed their slogan to "90's, 2000's, Now!"<br />

<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The station was launched at 101.1 MHz in 1969 as '''CJET-FM''', a sister station to the [[AM radio]] station [[CJET-FM|CJET]]. The station changed its callsign from CJET-FM to '''CKUE''' in the early 1970s.<br />
<br />
In 1984, the stations were acquired by CHEZ-FM Inc., the owner of Ottawa's [[CHEZ-FM|CHEZ]]. In 1986, CKUE changed its callsign to '''CHEQ''', and adopted the ''Q101'' brand. Q101 switched from its longtime [[adult contemporary]] format to country music in 1990, but the country format was financially unsuccessful.<br />
<br />
In 1993, CHEZ acquired rights to the callsign and format of '''CFMO''', an [[easy listening]] station in Ottawa which [[CHUM Limited]] had converted to [[hot adult contemporary]] [[CKKL-FM|CKKL]].<br />
<br />
In 1999, the CHEZ group of stations were acquired by Rogers Media.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1999/DB99-158.HTM Decision CRTC 99-158]</ref> On December 31 of that year, Rogers converted the station to a [[modern rock]] format and moved the station's studios into Ottawa, using the callsign '''CIOX''' and the brand name '''Xfm'''. However, in 2001 the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|CRTC]] found that by operating CIOX as an Ottawa station, Rogers was in contravention of [[concentration of media ownership|market concentration]] rules about the number of radio stations in a single market that can be owned by the same company. As a result, the CRTC ordered Rogers to return the station to Smiths Falls.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2001/DB2001-257.htm Decision CRTC 2001-257]</ref><br />
<br />
In October 2003, the station stunted for the day as ''101.1 Frank FM'', playing pretty much anything.<ref>[http://www.fybush.com/nerw-yir2003.html#prog 9. Canada Meets "Jack," "Bob" and "Dave"] Scott Fybush, North East Radio Watch, Year in review 2003</ref><ref>[http://www.fybush.com/nerw/2004/nerw-040105.html#can all eyes were on Rogers' CKBY-FM 105.3 Ottawa over the New Year holiday] Scott Fybush, North East Radio Watch, January 5, 2004 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081206083926/http://www.fybush.com/nerw/2004/nerw-040105.html#can |date=December 6, 2008 }}</ref><br />
<br />
On January 9, 2004, at Noon, the station adopted its current format when Rogers converted the former CKBY in Ottawa to the current [[CISS-FM|CISS]]. 101.1 became CKBY "Y101", and 105.3 became CISS a month later after the format change. The final song as 101.1 Xfm was ''[[Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)]]'' by [[Green Day]].<br />
<br />
On June 28, 2013 at 3PM, CKBY-FM changed its moniker to ''Country 101.1'' (pronounced as "Country One-Oh-One-One"). It was part of Rogers' changing of its country-formatted stations to a unified brand. Other than the branding change, no format or staff changes occurred.<ref>[http://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/netgnomes/82242/rogers-planning-a-canadian-national-country-brand/ Radio Insight: "Rogers Launches Canadian Country Brand", July 3, 2013.]</ref><br />
<br />
On December 3, 2020, Rogers reorganized the content of three of its Ottawa-area stations. [[CIWW]] 1310 News became [[CityNews]], [[simulcast]] on both [[1310 AM]] and on [[101.1 FM]]. The station at 92.3 FM was rebranded ''Country 92.3''.<ref>{{cite news |title=1310 NEWS becomes CityNews, serving Ottawa and the Valley |url=https://ottawa.citynews.ca/local-news/1310-news-becomes-citynews-serving-ottawa-and-the-valley-3151012 |access-date=December 3, 2020 |work=CityNews |date=December 3, 2020}}</ref> <ref>[https://www.hometownnews.ca/jack-has-hit-the-road/ JACK has hit the road], ''Hometown News'', December 4, 2020</ref> <br />
<br />
To coincide with Rogers' Ottawa station reorganization, the radio stations at 92.3 and 101.1 swapped their call signs. '''CKBY-FM''' moved from 101.1 to 92.3 FM. And CJET-FM moved from 92.3 to 101.1.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3682764501762872&id=191081700931187 Call Letter Changes in Smiths Falls], ''Canadian Radio News'', December 12, 2020</ref><br />

In 1999, the CHEZ group of stations were acquired by Rogers Media.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1999/DB99-158.HTM Decision CRTC 99-158]</ref> On December 31 of that year, Rogers converted the station to a [[modern rock]] format and moved the station's studios into Ottawa, using the callsign '''CIOX''' and the brand name '''Xfm'''. However, in 2001 the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|CRTC]] found that by operating CIOX as an Ottawa station, Rogers was in contravention of [[concentration of media ownership|market concentration]] rules about the number of radio stations in a single market that can be owned by the same company. As a result, the CRTC ordered Rogers to return the station to Smiths Falls.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2001/DB2001-257.htm Decision CRTC 2001-257]</ref><br />
<br />
In October 2003, the station stunted for the day as ''101.1 Frank FM'', playing pretty much anything.<ref>[http://www.fybush.com/nerw-yir2003.html#prog 9.

<br />
On January 9, 2004, at Noon, the station adopted its current format when Rogers converted the former CKBY in Ottawa to the current [[CISS-FM|CISS]]. 101.1 became CKBY "Y101", and 105.3 became CISS a month later after the format change. The final song as 101.1 Xfm was ''[[Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)]]'' by [[Green Day]].<br />
<br />
On June 28, 2013 at 3PM, CKBY-FM changed its moniker to ''Country 101.1'' (pronounced as "Country One-Oh-One-One"). It was part of Rogers' changing of its country-formatted stations to a unified brand. Other than the branding change, no format or staff changes occurred.<ref>[http://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/netgnomes/82242/rogers-planning-a-canadian-national-country-brand/ Radio Insight: "Rogers Launches Canadian Country Brand", July 3, 2013.]</ref><br />
<br />
On December 3, 2020, Rogers reorganized the content of three of its Ottawa-area stations. [[CIWW]] 1310 News became [[CityNews]], [[simulcast]] on both [[1310 AM]] and on [[101.1 FM]]. The station at 92.3 FM was rebranded ''Country 92.3''.<ref>{{cite news |title=1310 NEWS becomes CityNews, serving Ottawa and the Valley |url=https://ottawa.citynews.ca/local-news/1310-news-becomes-citynews-serving-ottawa-and-the-valley-3151012 |access-date=December 3, 2020 |work=CityNews |date=December 3, 2020}}</ref> <ref>[https://www.hometownnews.ca/jack-has-hit-the-road/ JACK has hit the road], ''Hometown News'', December 4, 2020</ref> <br />
<br />
To coincide with Rogers' Ottawa station reorganization, the radio stations at 92.3 and 101.1 swapped their call signs. '''CKBY-FM''' moved from 101.1 to 92.3 FM. And CJET-FM moved from 92.3 to 101.1.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3682764501762872&id=191081700931187 Call Letter Changes in Smiths Falls], ''Canadian Radio News'', December 12, 2020</ref><br />

'''CISS-FM''' (105.3 [[Hertz|MHz]]) is a [[commercial radio|commercial]] [[FM broadcasting|FM]] [[radio station]] in [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]]. The station is owned by [[Rogers Media]] and broadcasts a [[hot adult contemporary]] [[radio format]] [[brand]]ed on-air as ''KiSS 105.3''. The [[radio studio]]s and offices are co-located with its [[sister station]]s at Thurston Drive and Conroy Road.<br />
<br />
CISS-FM has an [[effective radiated power]] (ERP) of 84,000 [[watt]]s. The [[transmitter]] is in [[Camp Fortune, Quebec]], within [[Gatineau Park]].<ref>[https://fccdata.org/?lang=en&canfm=CISS-FM FCCdata.org/CISS-FM]</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The station [[sign-on|signed on]] the air in 1972 with the [[call sign]] '''[[CKBY-FM|CKBY]]''', playing a [[country music|country]] format.<ref>[http://www.ottawacountrymusichof.org/inductees/ckby.htm CKBY Radio - Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame]</ref><br />
<br />
On January 9, [[2004 in radio|2004]], the station adopted a [[hot adult contemporary]] format and the ''105.3 KISS-FM'' moniker. The station launched with [[Pink (singer)|Pink]]'s "[[Get The Party Started]]". A month later after the format change, the station adopted its current call letters. The CISS call sign previously belonged to a [[Toronto]] radio station, also owned by [[Rogers Media|Rogers]], which now uses the call letters [[CKIS-FM]]. The CKBY calls, in turn, were moved to a third Rogers station in [[Smiths Falls, Ontario|Smiths Falls]]. In the station's early years, the station's [[playlist]] was similar to that of [[CHUM-FM]] in Toronto, but with a less [[rhythmic contemporary|rhythmic]] lean. Later that year, it shifted from [[Hot AC]] to [[adult top 40]].<br />
<br />
CISS came at the expense of ''101.1 XFM'', ('''CIOX-FM''') an [[alternative rock]] station that was shut down to make way for KISS and for a move of [[country music|country]] radio ''Y105'', currently [[CJET-FM|Country 92.3]], to another frequency. The two [[Breakfast television|morning show]] hosts of XFM, Mauler and Rush, were temporarily left unemployed. They have since moved to The Morning Hot Tub on [[CIHT-FM]], which is also simulcast on other [[Stingray Group]] stations across Canada.<br />
<br />
With the flip of the [[CKIS-FM|former CISS]] in [[Toronto]] from [[Jack FM]] to [[top 40]] as ''KiSS 92.5'' on June 5, [[2009 in radio|2009]], the CISS calls remained unchanged on this station. Instead, Rogers swapped the [[CJAQ-FM]] calls in Toronto with the former CKIS-FM (a [[Jack FM]] station) in [[Calgary]].<br />
<br />
More recently, as of the fall of [[2009 in radio|2009]], CISS has begun to lean more [[rhythmic contemporary|rhythmic]] again and dropped most [[modern adult contemporary]] artists.<br />
<br />
As of [[2011 in radio|2011]], the station has eliminated the majority of its pre-[[1999 in music|1999]] playlist and moved towards a more 2000s-now direction. A new logo was added, along with adding the tagline "The New" in its "KISS-FM" branding. The station leans heavily on [[rhythmic contemporary|rhythmic]] material, especially during nights and weekends, when the station plays songs that other [[Hot AC]] stations in Canada won't play, more in the style of a [[Contemporary hit radio|CHR]] station and to compete with CIHT. However, CIHT still plays pre-1999 music, and continues to beat Kiss in ratings by a large margin, though CISS's ratings have improved slightly since the addition of rhythmic material. As of March 31, 2014, CISS also picked up more competition in the form of [[CKQB-FM|CKQB]], which flipped from [[active rock]] to a [[Contemporary hit radio|Top 40/CHR]] presentation that heavily favours current rhythmic and [[dance music|dance]] product aimed at young adult and teen listeners. Despite the [[Top 40]] competition from both CIHT and CKQB, CISS, however, remains on the Canadian [[hot AC]] panels of [[Mediabase]] & [[Nielsen BDS]].<br />
<br />
By early 2016, CISS re-branded slightly to ''KiSS 105.3''.<br />
<br />
In September 2016, CISS re-added 1990s music to their playlist and changed the slogan to "The Most Variety from the 90s to Now."<br />
<br />
In August 2021, CISS re-branded as "The Capital's KiSS 105.3", and changed their slogan to "90's, 2000's, Now!"<br />

<br />
==History==<br />
CJET began as an AM radio station on {{start date and age|1955|10|22}}. It first broadcast on 1070 [[Hertz|kHz]]. But because [[1070 AM]] was a [[clear channel station|clear channel frequency]] reserved for [[List of North American broadcast station classes|Class A]] station [[CBAM-FM|CBA]] in [[Moncton, New Brunswick]], CJET had to limit its nighttime signal to avoid interference. In 1958, it switched its frequency to 630 kHz, which was powered at 10,000 watts around the clock. In 1969, it added an FM station at 101.1, CJET-FM.<br />
<br />
In the 1990s, many AM stations in Canada began making plans to switch over to the FM dial. The [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] (CRTC) gave CJET permission to go from AM 630 to FM 92.3 in 2000. <ref>[https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2000/db2000-81.htm Decision CRTC 2000-81], Conversion of AM station CJET to FM, ''CRTC'', March 21, 2000</ref> It took the [[call sign]] '''CKBY-FM'''. Those call letters had previously been used on 105.3 FM in Ottawa, now [[CISS-FM]]. At this point, Smith Falls had two co-owned FM stations, 101.1 CJET-FM and 92.3 CKBY-FM.<br />
<br />

'''CJET-FM''' (92.3 [[Hertz|MHz]]) is a [[commercial radio|commercial]] [[radio station]] [[city of license|licensed]] to [[Smiths Falls, Ontario]], and serving the [[Ottawa Valley]] and the Western suburbs of [[Ottawa]]. The station is owned by [[Rogers Sports & Media]]. It broadcasts a [[country music]] [[radio format]] and is branded as ''Country 92.3''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rogersmedia.com/brands/92-3-jack-fm-smiths-falls/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=2015-06-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150703141029/http://www.rogersmedia.com/brands/92-3-jack-fm-smiths-falls/ |archive-date=2015-07-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
<br />
CJET-FM has an [[effective radiated power]] (ERP) of 9,300 [[watt]]s (17,000 watts maximum), [[horizontal polarization]] only. The [[transmitter]] is on [[Ontario Highway 15]] near Line Road 7 in [[Beckwith, Ontario]].<ref>[https://fccdata.org/?lang=en&canfm=CJET-FM FCCdata.org/CJET-FM]</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
CJET began as an AM radio station on {{start date and age|1955|10|22}}. It first broadcast on 1070 [[Hertz|kHz]]. But because [[1070 AM]] was a [[clear channel station|clear channel frequency]] reserved for [[List of North American broadcast station classes|Class A]] station [[CBAM-FM|CBA]] in [[Moncton, New Brunswick]], CJET had to limit its nighttime signal to avoid interference. In 1958, it switched its frequency to 630 kHz, which was powered at 10,000 watts around the clock. In 1969, it added an FM station at 101.1, CJET-FM.<br />
<br />
In the 1990s, many AM stations in Canada began making plans to switch over to the FM dial. The [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] (CRTC) gave CJET permission to go from AM 630 to FM 92.3 in 2000. <ref>[https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2000/db2000-81.htm Decision CRTC 2000-81], Conversion of AM station CJET to FM, ''CRTC'', March 21, 2000</ref> It took the [[call sign]] '''CKBY-FM'''. Those call letters had previously been used on 105.3 FM in Ottawa, now [[CISS-FM]]. At this point, Smith Falls had two co-owned FM stations, 101.1 CJET-FM and 92.3 CKBY-FM.<br />
<br />
On December 3, 2020, Rogers Communications reorganized the content of three of its Ottawa-area stations. [[CIWW]] 1310 News became [[CityNews]], [[simulcast]] on both [[1310 AM]] and on 101.1 FM CJET-FM. CKBY-FM was rebranded ''Country 92.3''.<ref>{{cite news |title=1310 NEWS becomes CityNews, serving Ottawa and the Valley |url=https://ottawa.citynews.ca/local-news/1310-news-becomes-citynews-serving-ottawa-and-the-valley-3151012 |access-date=December 3, 2020 |work=CityNews |date=December 3, 2020}}</ref> <ref>[https://www.hometownnews.ca/jack-has-hit-the-road/ JACK has hit the road], ''Hometown News'', December 4, 2020</ref> The current ''Country 92.3'' is a similar branding to ''Country 92'', which was used for the previous country format on 92.3 FM from 2001 until it flipped to [[adult hits]] as ''[[JACK FM]]'' in 2004.<br />
<br />
Both radio stations swapped call signs to coincide with the reorganization. The station at 92.3 took the call letters CKBY-FM and the station at 101.1 took the call letters CJET-FM.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3682764501762872&id=191081700931187 Call Letter Changes in Smiths Falls], ''Canadian Radio News'', December 12, 2020</ref><br />

'''CKBY-FM''' (101.1 [[Hertz|MHz]], ''CityNews Ottawa'') is a [[Commercial radio|commercial]] [[radio station]] [[city of license|licensed]] to [[Smiths Falls]], [[Ontario]], and serving the [[National Capital Region (Canada)|National Capital Region]] including [[Ottawa]]. It is owned by [[Rogers Sports and Media]] and it [[simulcast]]s a [[all-news radio|News]]-[[talk radio|Talk]] [[radio format]] with co-owned [[CIWW]] [[1310 AM]]. CKBY-FM has [[radio studio]]s in Smiths Falls (as part of its license agreement), with auxiliary studios at the Rogers Ottawa cluster on Thurston Drive and Conroy Road. <br />
<br />
CKBY-FM has an [[effective radiated power]] (ERP) of 100,000 [[watt]]s, the current maximum power for Canadian FM stations. The [[transmitter]] is on [[Ontario Highway 15]] near Line Route 7 in [[Beckwith, Ontario]].<ref>[https://fccdata.org/?call=ckby&ccode=2&city=&state=&country=CA&cansvc=B&party=&party_type=CDN&lang=en FCCdata.org/CKBY-FM]</ref><br />
<br />
==Programming==<br />
On weekdays, local all-news blocks are heard in morning and afternoon [[drive time]]. In middays, two local talk shows air: Rob Snow in late mornings and Sam Laprade in early afternoons. Their shows are repeated in the evening. Overnights feature the national all-news service shared with [[CFTR]] [[Toronto]], [[CFFR]] [[Calgary]] and [[CKWX]] [[Vancouver]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ottawa.citynews.ca/program-schedule|title = Ottawa Radio Program Schedule}}</ref><br />
<br />
On weekends, all-news blocks are heard in the morning and overnight, with talk shows in the afternoon and [[CBS Sports Radio]] in the evening. [[ABC News Radio]] supplies reports on world and U.S. news. [[Toronto Blue Jays]] [[MLB|baseball]] games are carried. The Blue Jays, CKBY-FM and CIWW are all co-owned by Rogers Communications.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/schedule/blue-jays-radio-network|title = Blue Jays Radio Network}}</ref> <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
On {{start date and age|1969|1|20}}, the station [[sign-on|signed on]] as '''CJET-FM'''. It was the FM counterpart to CJET [[630 AM]]. At first, the two stations [[simulcast]] their programming. But after a few years, the FM station began broadcasting a separate format of [[easy listening]] and [[middle of the road (music)|middle of the road]] music. <br />
<br />
The CKBY-FM [[call sign]] was originally found on [[105.3 FM]] in Ottawa, from 1972 to 2003, carrying a [[country music]] format. (That Ottawa station is now [[Hot AC]] [[CISS-FM]].) The CKBY-FM call letters were moved to 92.3 FM in Smiths Falls in 2003 when AM 630 CJET switched to the FM band. The CKBY-FM call sign remained on that frequency until late 2020, while 101.1 continued to be called CJET-FM.<br />
<br />
On June 28, 2013 at 3PM, CJET-FM changed its moniker to ''Country 101.1'' (pronounced as "Country One-Oh-One-One"). It was part of Rogers' changing of its country-formatted stations to a unified brand. Other than the branding change, no format or staff changes occurred.<ref>[http://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/netgnomes/82242/rogers-planning-a-canadian-national-country-brand/ Radio Insight: "Rogers Launches Canadian Country Brand", July 3, 2013.]</ref><br />
<br />
On December 3, 2020, Rogers reorganized the content of three of its Ottawa-area stations. [[CIWW]] 1310 News became [[CityNews]], [[simulcast]] on both [[1310 AM]] and on [[101.1 FM]]. The station at 92.3 FM was rebranded ''Country 92.3''.<ref>{{cite news |title=1310 NEWS becomes CityNews, serving Ottawa and the Valley |url=https://ottawa.citynews.ca/local-news/1310-news-becomes-citynews-serving-ottawa-and-the-valley-3151012 |access-date=December 3, 2020 |work=CityNews |date=December 3, 2020}}</ref> <ref>[https://www.hometownnews.ca/jack-has-hit-the-road/ JACK has hit the road], ''Hometown News'', December 4, 2020</ref> <br />
<br />
To coincide with Rogers' Ottawa station reorganization, the radio stations at 92.3 and 101.1 swapped their call signs. '''CKBY-FM''' moved from 101.1 to 92.3 FM. And CJET-FM moved from 92.3 to 101.1.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3682764501762872&id=191081700931187 Call Letter Changes in Smiths Falls], ''Canadian Radio News'', December 12, 2020</ref><br />
