The Lostprophets the last years was in the eye of the hurricane due to the terrible actions of its singer Ian Watkins, accused - and jailed - on various charges of pedophilia, which instantly ended with any possibility of continuing with the band.
Therefore, the remaining members of the gang Mike Lewis, Lee Gaze, Jamie Oliver, Stuart Richardson and Luke Johnson, they found a new opportunity in the voice of Geoff Rickly to form a new band, under the name of No Devotion.
The first single from No Devotion bears name ‘Stay’ y podrás escucharlo a continuación. La canción ya está disponible a través de iTunes y saldrá en formato vinil de 12″ el 22 de Julio e incluirá la canción ‘Eyeshadow’.
“Ni siquiera sabiamos si podriamos volver a hacer música alguna vez.” said bassist Stuart Richardson, “Si la gente podria vernos de nuevo a la cara. Pensamos que todo había terminado.”
However, the time healed the wounds and later they found Geoff Rickly who made sure that the music came out again. “Realmente, nunca había escuchado a The Lostprophets. Pero con la música, hablamos un idioma común. Tú realmente no puedes crecer fuera del Punk, sino crecer junto a él.” Rickly says, “Desde mi perspectiva, el post-punk es una manera sofisticada de hacer un acercamiento a ese tipo de sonido y comparto un respeto enorme a ese enfoque moderno de ese tipo de música.”
The band will have their first shows in late July in their native England. Will people accept them?.
