Artist of the Day: Departures

Melodic hardcore group Departures are best known for the way they shocked us last year. When Losing Everything is Everything You Wanted, their debut album, hit the scene and gathered more attention than anybody anticipated. The album was very well-received, too; music critics all over the Internet praised the organic and straight-forward approach the group took, while still thinking outside of the box.

Here we are in November 2012, a year and a half later, and we're on the brink of the group's sophomore release. (Time flies, right?)  And Teenage Haze really feels like a step in the right direction for Departures. The newest album has an even more recognizable flavor than its predecessor, and will do wonders in distinguishing the group from the hardcore crowd. Check it out, and see what you think!
