Lostprophets: Arctic Monkeys 'Didn't Break America, They Bounced Off'

British band Lostprophets have laughed off reports that fellow band, the Arctic Monkeys have cracked America.

The Lostprophets have experienced dramatic success in the US but do not think the Monkeys are capable of doing the same.

The band’s frontman Ian Watkins said, according to GIGWise: "In the UK, the Arctic Monkeys connected with people singing about very introspective things that had to do with this country.

"Then they go to America and do Snl (Saturday Night Live) and everybody there was like, 'Woo, Arctic Monkeys, best band in the world.'

"And there's some guy in the Midwest going, 'Huh?' That guy doesn't give a fuck about social commentary on the streets of Sheffield. They didn't break America, they bounced off".
