There are three artists who have used this name:

1. The Departed is an American Red Dirt/Southern Rock band. The band was formed by Cross Canadian Ragweed frontman Cody Canada after Ragweed broke up in 2010. Canada’s longtime bassist Jeremy Plato followed and joined guitarist/vocalist Seth James, keyboard player Steve Littleton, and Drummer Dave Bowen. Chris Doege would eventually replace Bowen on drums. Initially known as Cody Canada and The Departed, the band shortened it to just The Departed for their second album.

2. The Departed ( United Kingdom ) 5 lads playing honest, aggressive hardcore punk. They follow DIY ethics and love playing shows.
