Artist History Let's see...we formed in April of 2000. Our original name was "Why Bother" and we were just a three piece at the time. But since we were gonna get sued due to the fact that we had no idea another band in So. Cal. had the name already, we decided to change the name. We then added a sweet new lead guitarist/singer, and became THE DEPARTURE. Now we rock.
