"Last Summer" was the fourth single pulled from Start Something, the second album by Welsh rockers Lostprophets, in 2004, and it had a hard act to follow: "Burn Burn", "Last Train Home" and "Wake Up (Make a Move)" had already done big business in Britain and America alike. This one got to 13 in the UK.
Beneath the post-grunge crunch it's a sunny bit of nostalgia, the band looking back fondly on trips around the towns of South Wales, the seaside at Porthcawl among them. The single carried an unlikely B-side, "Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex", a cover of a song by English pop star Rachel Stevens, once of S Club 7.
