1) Departures were a British melodic hardcore band from Glasgow, Scotland. Formed in 2007, they started to create a buzz within the british hardcore scene with their debut full length, When Losing Everything Is Everything You Wanted, promoting a brand of passionate modern hardcore, with strong melodic guitar riffs and emotional lyrics and subject matter. In October 2012, Departures signed to No Sleep Records for the release of their second full length, Teenage Haze. FITA Records and In At The Deep End Records will be releasing the vinyl and CD respectively in the UK/ Europe. After the success of Teenage Haze, Departures released third album "Death Touches Us, From the Moment We Begin to Love" through London based independent label "Holy Roar Records" in 2016. In 2017 during a tour with Touche Amore, lead singer James McKean suffered a heart attack and Departures went on hiatus while James recovered. Departures returned briefly in 2019 playing a show in their hometown of Glasgow but a few months later McKean was diagnosed with a rare condition called "Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome". In November 2019, Departures released a statement on their official Facebook page announcing that because of McKean's health issues the band would be playing two final shows in Glasgow and London before going their separate ways.
