Workshy
Workshy is a band formed in London in 1986 by Michael McDermott, Chrysta Jones and Kevin Kehoe (who left in 1992). They are perhaps best known for their songs “Never The Same” and “You’re The Summer” as well as covers of the Bacharach/David song “I Say A Little Prayer”, “If I Ever Lose This Heaven” and Carole King’s “It’s Too Late.”
The band was signed by UK-based Magnet Records in June 1987 and released their debut album “The Golden Mile” in 1989.
All Workshy's back catalogue was released for download in 2011. They released a new single for download in 2012, In This Neighbourhood (unplugged) - a reworking of one of their earlier classic tracks.

"Lately" may refer to:
Lately (Skunk Anansie song)
"Lately" is a song by Skunk Anansie, released as the third single from their album Post Orgasmic Chill. It was released in August 1999. CD1 came with an interactive element featuring the video and CD2 featured three exclusive Polaroid pictures of the band. As of 2012, it is the band's last major hit, charting at #33 in their native United Kingdom.
Music video
The surreal music video was directed by Howard Greenhalgh, who directed the music video for "Goodbye" by Spice Girls, a year earlier. The music video shows the band performing in a small town where all its inhabitants are smiling while a comet (played by Skin) begins to have a collision course with Earth. The video for the single was a homage to Soundgarden's music video for "Black Hole Sun", which was also directed by Greenhalgh in 1994.

Lostprophets
Lostprophets /lɒstˈprɒfɪts/ were a Welsh rock band from Pontypridd formed in 1997. Founded by lead vocalist Ian Watkins, bassist (later guitarist) Mike Lewis, drummer Mike Chiplin and guitarist Lee Gaze, they were originally a side-project to hardcore punk band Public Disturbance. They were also part of the Cardiff music scene.
Lostprophets released five studio albums, with their final release Weapons released on 2 April 2012. The band achieved three Top 10 hits on the UK Singles Chart ("Last Train Home", and "Rooftops"), one number-one single on the Alternative Songs chart ("Last Train Home"), several Kerrang! Awards and nominations, and sold 3.5 million albums worldwide.
In December 2012, Watkins was charged with multiple sexual offences against children. The band cancelled all tour dates, and the other members announced the disbanding of Lostprophets in October 2013 before the end of Watkins' trial. Watkins pleaded guilty to several (but not all) charges in November 2013, and in December 2013 was sentenced to 29 years imprisonment plus six years on licence. In June 2014, the remaining members formed No Devotion with American singer Geoff Rickly as their lead vocalist.
