Download Festival 2008 headliners Lostprophets are currently recording their fourth album before headlining the second stage at Reading (30 Aug) & Leeds (29 Aug) Festivals 2009, and they made a little video blog about it.

Dunno what else to say about it really apart from, “Look at Ian Watkins’ awesome hair.” It’s like a cocker spaniel’s taken over his head.

Kerrang! have also said that the Welsh rockers might be playing a couple of warmup shows as well, just like they were meant to before they released Start Something. They love the little shows, they do.
