"The Fake Sound of Progress" is the second single from Welsh rock band Lostprophets' debut album The Fake Sound of Progress and received less attention than the band's debut single, "Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja."

Music Video

The music video was filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada. The video opens with the band being brought in to play a private concert after the persistence of their manager until the camera pans around the restaurant, showing each of the band members in disgust with the people in their audience. As the song progresses, Watkins ignores the tables in front of the stage and he opens the front doors, allowing a large number of their fans to rush into the restaurant.[1]
