Emo Dad talks to Stuart Richardson (Lostprophets, No Devotion, Thursday)

Season 3 Episode 7 - Emo Dad talks to Stuart Richardson (Lostprophets, No Devotion, Thursday)Matt and James sat down for an incredible chat with the lovely Stuart Richardson, bassist of UK superstars, Lostprophets, founding member of the incredible No Devotion and touring bassist of post hardcore legends, Thursday.We discuss what it was like growing up in a tiny village in Wales and those early years of Lostprophets, as the band blew up across the circuit, leaving record companies squabbling over their signature. We also discuss the horrendous struggles and darker times that came to the band in the later years, what it was like to share a band with a lead singer who was spiralling out of control, and the process of picking up the pieces at the end. Stu explains the difficulties of being a musician and some of the difficult career decisions that need to be made. We deep dive into the process of writing in No Devotion and how that band came to be, the writing process of the No Devotion albums and the joy of touring in a band like Thursday. All this and so much more, we thank Stu for sharing his story with us and for being so open and honest through some difficult topics of discussion. This is one not to be missed.⁠Tipjar⁠ - If you've enjoyed listening to the Emo Dad Podcast and would like to leave us a little tip towards keeping the Emo Dad lights on, then we will love you forever.
