No Devotion
Sleek, neon-lit post-punk that feels like a midnight drive through a rainy city. Melancholic melodies meet driving rhythms for fans of dark, cinematic rock.

No Devotion represents a significant sonic pivot for its members, emerging from the collapse of Lostprophets and the legacy of Thursday. Formed in 2014, the band features Geoff Rickly (Thursday) on vocals alongside Stuart Richardson and Lee Gaze.
Their sound identity is defined by a sophisticated blend of post-punk, darkwave, and alternative rock, characterized by dense layering and a focus on atmospheric texture. Their debut album, 'Permanence', was produced by Dave Fridmann, whose signature 'wall of sound' approach added a psychedelic, murky depth to their new wave influences. The band's career was interrupted by the folding of Collect Records, leading to a multi-year hiatus before returning with 'No Oblivion' in 2022. Critically, they are praised for successfully shedding their previous genre associations to create something that feels genuinely indebted to the 80s 4AD roster while remaining modern. They occupy a unique space in the 'emo-adjacent' world, appealing to fans of post-hardcore through lineage but delivering a sound that resonates more with devotees of The Cure or New Order.
