In the wake of Cross Canadian Ragweed's decision to part ways, Cody Canada has resurfaced with an armament of musicians and a mission in mind. With his long time Ragweed band mate Jeremy Plato (bass), the two made a seamless transition into the world of the Departed, as in Cody Canada & the Departed. Although the Departed is writing and will records original material, the bands first priority was getting into the studio and cutting the Oklahoma tribute album that Cody had been wanting to do for years. The result is THIS IS INDIAN LAND.
