We’ve been talking about Geoff Rickly nonstop the past few weeks — that dude has been up to no good. And by no good, we mean lots of good. This week it was announced that Rickly has a new band with former members of Lostprophets called No Devotion. But hey now, let’s not forget about United Nations.
You may recall how United Nations had some of their music banned in various countries, which ultimately delayed a series of 7″s they were planning. Apparently the real United Nations got pissy with the band and sued them. We’re not entirely sure why, but we presume this new song “United Nations vs United Nations” sheds some light into the situation. But we like to read into things.
The band’s forthcoming album The Next Four Years will be released on July 15th via Temporary Residence.
