Buddy Logan sat down with Cody Canada and Seth James from The Departed to chit-chat about their new album. Color Rita JEALOUS!

Here are a few things we learned about the new Departed album:
The new album coming out is going to be the first “real” Departed album.
Seth wrote songs with Wade Bowen and Sean McConnell…and some other people I didn’t catch.
Everyone in the band has a song on the record.
The band is still in love with each other.
There is no official release date, but the album is coming out in the fall…before the year is over.
Cody is voting for a song titled “Burden” to be the first single, but Seth doesn’t really care.
Bring it on. I am more than ready to hear the new songs!

Ok, i gotta disagree with the “real” Departed album part. Even if cody is saying it. Indian Land, even though they didn’t write the songs, was REAL. and man is it AMAZING! They made each of those songs their style, their sound and made them sound contemporary without losing any of the integrity of the song. So SOMEONE tell whomever, even if it is cody, that Indian Land is one of the best albums out there right now period!
Is is dave not in the band anymore?
The band’s drummer is Chris Doege. Dave Bowen had surgery this year on his arm again. The band’s touring schedule and Dave’s inuries were not a good match. Everything was amicable and full of love all the way around.
We have heard some “real”Departed songs at the live shows and can’t wait for the Departeds new record and we haven’t stopped playing Indian Land!!!
Us too.
Tony Gates….. how about an introduction since you are speaking as an authority on the band. I googled your name with The Departed and nothing popped up.
