No Devotion
No Devotion are a Welsh alternative rock band formed in Pontypridd and Cardiff in 2014. The group is composed of American vocalist Geoff Rickly of the band Thursday, along with Stuart Richardson and Lee Gaze, former members of the Welsh band Lostprophets.
No Devotion was founded by Stuart Richardson, Lee Gaze, Luke Johnson, Mike Lewis, and Jamie Oliver (all originally of Lostprophets) alongside Geoff Rickly. The band's debut album Permanence, produced by Dave Fridmann, was released in 2015 and was supported by four singles: "Stay", "10,000 Summers", "Addition", and "Permanent Sunlight". Drummer Luke Johnson's departure was announced in early 2015, with former Bloc Party drummer Matt Tong recording the rest of the drums for the album. While the band was mostly inactive beginning in 2016, a second album, No Oblivion, was announced in 2022 after being discussed for years. Rhythm guitarist Mike Lewis and keys/synth player Jamie Oliver did not return for the second album. The band signed to Velocity Records in 2021. Prior to this, the band was signed to Rickly's Collect Records, which folded after it was revealed that convicted pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli was a major investor.
