Former Lostprophets members working on new music
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 1 May 2014
Former Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly has revealed that his Astro Magnetics label is working with ex members of Lostprophets as they write new music.
Refusing to comment on whether or not he was performing with the band too, he told Radio Cardiff: “It’s been my honour to work with them on their new band from a label perspective. And it’s just so good, man. People are not going to know what hit them when the new band comes out, it’s like everything I grew up on. A little bit of New Order; little bit of Joy Division; little bit of The Cure; it’s just so forward-thinking. And it’s also like… all the roots are everything I’ve ever loved from goth music”.
Lostprophets, of course, announced their split shortly before former frontman Ian Watkins was convicted of child sexual abuse crime. He is currently serving 29 years in prison, pending an appeal.
