Frontman Steven Battelle comments:

“We made Shapes Of Screams under a cloud. We were falling apart, but somehow it became a unifying album that healed us. I was obsessed with the Les Miserables musical and wanted to make a heavy rock record with the choral elements of musical theatre. Some of the biggest, fan-favorite LostAlone songs are on this record and I’m very proud of it.”

LostAlone surprised fans with their return in 2022, eight years since they originally split, swiftly followed by shows with My Chemical Romance and a sold-out hometown headline show. The trio concluded 2022 with a full UK headline tour, following the release of their long-awaited album The Warring Twenties.

The Warring Twenties was LostAlone‘s first full-length since 2014’s Shapes of Screams. The album was written and produced by frontman Steven Battelle, with a variety of friends called upon to mix the songs: Greg Wells (The Greatest Showman, Deftones, Twenty One Pilots), Rou Reynolds (Enter Shikari), Adam Noble (Biffy Clyro, Placebo, Liam Gallagher) and Rich Collins.

Outside of LostAlone, Battelle has become a prolific songwriter for other artists, co-writing seven of the songs on McFly‘s new album Power To Play (#2 in Official Albums Chart Top 40). Following the successful collaboration, McFly invited LostAlone to tour with them last year.

2023 also saw the trio release three standalone singles, ‘The Final Call For Forever’, ‘Waiting For The Magic To Show Up’, and ‘I’m A Fire That You Can’t Put Out’.
