THE DEAR & DEPARTED HIT THE ROAD W/ SAOSIN & WITHIN TEMPTATION

THE DEAR & DEPARTED

FRESH FROM DATES ON THE VANS WARPED TOUR

PREPARE

TO HIT THE ROAD WITH SAOSIN, AND WITHIN TEMPTATION THIS FALL


The Dear & Departed successfully finished the first leg of the Vans Warped Tour this summer and gained lots of new fans along the way. Now they’re preparing to hit the road with Saosin/Alexisonfire, and Within Temptation.

The band’s debut release, Something Quite Peculiar out on Science Records (Blessthefall, The Confession),was produced by Chris Vrenna (U2, Smashing Pumpkins), with additional production from AFI’s Jade Puget, and keeps gaining momentum as does their brand spankin’ new video “Tonight’s The Night” which just debuted on MTVU. The video was directed by Kevin Estrada who recently helmed the Serj Tankian video for “Saving Us.”

Guest spots on Something Quite Peculiar include Dallas Green of Alexisonfire/City & Color on “To Cut “A Long Story Short,” as well as Jessica Origliasso of The Veronicas on “Under the Milky Way.” Australia’s Pee Magazine wrote: “This album is the album most bands wait their entire career to make…Definitely a band to watch over the next few years.”

Based in Orange County, Calif the band is made up of Australian, New Zealand and Welsh transplants. Having already toured with Avenged Sevenfold and AFI, The Dear & Departed were the only band to cover fellow Aussie’s The Church this summer on the Vans Warped Tour. Influenced by the Cure, Joy Division and Sisters of Mercy, the band also delights in rocking out and decimating audiences.
