No Devotion – “Addition” [YouTube Song Stream]

The Skinny: Collect Records and No Devotion are pleased to present “Addition” from the band’s forthcoming debut album, Permanence. Premiering worldwide yesterday on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show with Daniel P. Carter, the song went on to be named this week’s “Rockest Record.” “Addition” is the first full song to be released off of Permanence, which will be released via singer Geoff Rickly’s Collect Records label on Friday, September 25.

When No Devotion’s first single literally dropped out of nowhere exactly one year ago – with a world premiere on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show that saw Daniel P. Carter playing the track twice in a row – it’s safe to say that most of the world was caught off guard. Geoff Rickly, the Brooklyn-based former Thursday frontman, had been keeping busy in the public eye with his politically satirical punk outfit United Nations without any indication that he’d been working on anything else – much less a new band with the former musical base of Lostprophets, one of the UK’s most successful rock bands of the decade.

There was even less indication of a life after Lostprophets: For Stuart Richardson, Richard Jamie Oliver, Mike Lewis and Lee Gaze, stepping out of the public life altogether was a personal necessity. But the arrival of “Stay” proved that this collaboration was as vital as it was embraced, immediately making its way onto the UK Official Charts and setting a stage for the band to round out the year with a second single, two UK tours (including one supporting Rickly’s old friend Gerard Way), a rapturous New York City debut, and the certain promise of a full-length album. That part, it seems, took a little more time than they imagined. The end result is Permanence – an album as ambitious and expansive as its name suggests.
