The Departure

[popreactor]

There’s an interesting band that caught my attention. I’ve heard only two singles, but enough to convince me to get the album.It's probably released in 2005. Great year of music!

Here’s what they say about their influences:

“The influences? In their teens there was Brit-pop, which showed it was possibly to be loudly, proudly British. Then there was the build-up to the Millennium and the subsequent collapse of club culture, and afterwards there was.. well, there was Pop Idol. Which perhaps explains why so many scattered 20-year-olds simultaneously began searching through older relatives’ CD collections and rediscovering the 80’s, a decade that was over before any of The Departure had an age in double figures.{…} The five members each bring their own very different influences and personalities into the mix, but three albums were key at the start: U2’s ‘War’, The Smiths ‘Meat Is Murder’, and Depeche Mode’s ‘Violator’…”
