Laguna Sunrise formed in 2010, and are a 7 piece Post Metalcore band from Derby, UK taking inspiration from a wide range of modern music. From crushing technical breakdowns layered with dual singing and screaming to full electronic dub-step style drops with guitars, to hardcore two-step riffs, and anthemic sing-a-longs. All members have a wide range of influences, from the catchy yet technical side of Funeral For A Friend, to the heavy and dance side of Attack Attack! with the energy and grove of Parkway Drive.

Their debut single ‘A Lesson In Aviation (Ascend Past Planes)’ came out on the 6th February 2012 digitally worldwide. ‘A Lesson In Aviation’ was recorded and tracked by Laguna Sunrise, before being mixed, mastered, edited, and re-amped by Nick Sampson of I Am Abomination (USA). The music video to the single can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZIBNuVl0B8

Scotland is well known for its musical exports especially in the mainstream but there has always been an undercurrent of great bands in the rich hardcore scene. Departures are one of these bands who have taken a step away from the heaviness we’ve seen in the past from bands like Broken Oath and By My Hands and added a melodic take on the genre.

Having already shared the stage with heavyweights that includes Dead Swans, Trash Talk, Miles Away, Cruel Hand, More than Life, Defeater, Pianos Become The Teeth, Man Overboard, Hostage Calm etc, they also played this years ‘Hevy Fest’ alongside Dillinger Escape Plan, Architects and Four Year Strong.

Recently we have been spinning their latest record ‘When losing everything is everything you wanted’ in the office at least once a day and it’s still not getting old. With lots of plans in the works for 2012 we can see these guys going a long way.
