No Devotion are a Welsh/American alternative rock band formed in 2014. They are composed of American vocalist Geoff Rickly (of the band Thursday) from New Jersey, and former band members of the Welsh band Lostprophets from Pontypridd. The band formed in the wake of Lostprophets' dissolution in 2013.
The band have released three singles; "Stay", "10,000 Summers" and "Addition" and released their debut album, Permanence, produced by Dave Fridmann in 2015. Earlier that year drummer Luke Johnson officially left the band. Philip Jenkins, former drummer of Kids in Glass Houses, subsequently began performing as the band's live drummer.
Between 1997 and 2012, Mike Lewis, Lee Gaze, Stuart Richardson, and Jamie Oliver were members of the Welsh rock band Lostprophets, along with lead singer Ian Watkins (with Luke Johnson joining in 2009). On 19 December 2012, Watkins was charged with 13 sexual offences against children, and was subsequently sentenced to 35 years imprisonment the following year. On 1 October 2013, the remaining members announced Lostprophets' breakup saying that they would "no longer make or perform music as Lostprophets". The announcement was signed by all band members (except Watkins).
The band formed sometime in April 2014 only a few months after Lostprophets broke up. After days of rumors, it was confirmed by ex-Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly in an interview on Radio Cardiff that he would be working with the remaining Lostprophets members on their new project through his own label, Collect Records, and described their new music as being influenced by Joy Division, New Order, and The Cure, although he did not confirm that he was going to be joining the band.
