Indie/new wave act, The Dear & Departed, have signed to Equal Vision Records. The band recently wrapped up recording with New Found Glory guitarist, Chad Gilbert (H2O, Fireworks), and will release the new material as a digital EP and 7” later this year and tour to support.
“EVR have always supported us and after constant frustration with other labels, we feel it’s a great decision,” expressed vocalist, Dan Smith (aka Dan Under - also a tattoo artist and can be seen on LA Ink). “That’s all you can really ask for these days, honest support. We have all been fans of EVR bands since we were young and its nice to have that history and nostalgia with a label, even though so much has changed over the years.”
Many of you may remember these guys as the band that arose from the ashes of Day Of Contempt. Since their formation in early 2006 the band has had a few line up changes, toured with good friends AFI, been on Warped Tour 2007, toured with Tigar Army, and a short-lived tenure with Science Records (through whom they put out their debut album) seems the band finally will have the backing and support of label that has helped shoot so many bands into the spotlight. more info and tracks on their Myspace page.
