Adventus

ADVENTUS is the Latin word for arrival. And so Cody Canada and The Departed emerge with their first original album. Upon the disbanding of Cross Canadian Ragweed, The Departed took root; Cody Canada and his longtime Ragweed band mate, Jeremy Platon on bass and vocals, with Seth James on guitars and vocals, Steve Littleton on B3 organ and keys and Chris Doege on drums. The band members had spoken reverentially of each others musicianship before getting together almost two years ago. But make no mistake; ADVENTUS is anything but a relic of the past. It rocks hard, it burns in the Southern sun, and it represents a new era of creative growth, tapping into the eternal emotions and sonics that have informed the great American musical styles from the start.
