intro
Final single from the Departure's brilliant 'Dirty Words'album, which is being issued only on 7" green vinyl
'Arms Around Me' is the final release from 'Dirty Words', the Departure's brilliant debut album. Issued only on 7" green vinyl, which comes with a sticker and a poster, both sides feature different versions of 'Arms Around Me'. The A side is the album version while the B side is stripped down to the point of becoming almost naked and takes the songs down to its barest roots, but it still kicks ass and blows everyone else away. This is the real deal. UK band of the year, no doubt.
