Dispatch is three: Brad Corrigan, Pete Heimbold and Chad Urmston. Three band mates, three front men. They have been writing, performing and recording together since 1995, when they first began spreading their funk and reggae influenced pop tunes to private academies and colleges throughout the Northeast. The band’s catchy melodies and playful demeanor on stage quickly earned them a tight underground following. Six years later, the east coast continues to embrace this power trio as a college favorite, while word rapidly spreads west. Fans flock to see their live shows, selling out performances in Boston (Fleet Pavilion), New York City (Irving Plaza), Philadelphia (The Electric Factory), Washington DC (9:30 Club), Boulder, CO (The Fox Theatre) and more.

And I tell them, I can't describe it. You must hear it. Some people don't like them, others have fallen in love. Its just one of those things. But for me, Dispatch is a real Utopia. Their music is just so awesome, and I'm glad I was introduced. Re-interpreted for child soldiers | Reviewer: Lo ------ About the song The General performed by Dispatch I have always loved this song, I remember listening to it a lot right before the US went into Iraq. Dispatch broke up before that even started, but they reunited recently to perform a benefit concert for Zimbabwe. Seeing them sing this song with a choir of African children had me crying like a little girl. I never interpreted it to be about child soldiers, but I've had friends who made that connection right away ("he grew a beard as soon as he could" implies that he's very young). I have long considered the use of children in warfare to be the greatest evil in the modern world. The acts of the LRA in Uganda had me lying awake at night for months, meanwhile nobody in the media even covered what was happening there. There has only been a tiny bit of attention to this issue lately, and it's only focused on Sierra Leonne. To re-examine this song in this context has been very powerful for me. The lead singer of Dispatch went to Zimbabwe after high school, which explains a lot about who he is as a musician and a person. I've decided to go to Uganda next year to assist in the construction of a rehabilitation/family center for the many orphans (many of whom were forced to kill their own families!) in Uganda. There is no support offered them, and they just keep getting hit with floods and disasters disrupting the food supply, etc. I'm getting off topic, but to cut it short, it makes me so glad when someone else cares about these things and manages to get their message out there. A song like this really resonates with people, but is upbeat and beautiful enough that you can listen to it over and over (like I'm doing right now, :) I've seen the benefit concert on TV (in HD, on the hi-def music channel) and it's available on DVD. It's called Dispatch: Zimbabwe, and Netflix has it. I highly recommend checking it out and dare you not to cry watching it! agree with both of you | Reviewer: alex ------ About the song Gone performed by Dispatch This has got to be the most poetic song I have ever heard. I could seriously do a whole english report on this, it has every part of imagery and figurative language. Just look at the lyrics. When you add the beatifully performed song to the lyrics, it adds even more meaning. A terrific song meaning to bang bang | Reviewer: matt ------ About the song Bang Bang performed by Dispatch This song is about not worrying about all the stress in life and just enjoy the simple things that make you happy. It's about a man trying to find the meaning to life but in the end he realizes that there is no right way to go in life and as long as you just stay true to yourself and relax a little you'll have a happy life. Dispatch is free | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Dispatch Dispatch is absolutly the best band I have ever heard.

WW1 | Reviewer: David ------ About the song The General performed by Dispatch A friend of mine related this song to a story about a christmas day on WW1. To summarize the story, the English and Germans traded presents and played soccer on christmas day. Afterwards, they refused to fight. Gunshots weren't heard for two weeks, and then the men were re-deployed all up and down the lines. But at the end of those two weeks, the 3 Generals there were told that someone would have to fight, so they did. So everyone except for the 3 Generals were re-deployed, and the 3 Generals stood and fought. You can see that this might be what the song is about by the line "the general said he would do his own duty but would extend it no further the men could go as they pleased" YES! | Reviewer: jared ------ About the song The General performed by Dispatch this song rocks, i have known a few great bands coming from flint michigan, this one disbanded but they played it in highschool and rocked this song. another great band coming up right now from here is called fearblind. check them out!!! theyre coming mainly from the machine shop here in flint michigan, but theyll be big soon so help them out they rock! Totally agree with Les | Reviewer: Cecelia ------ About the song Gone performed by Dispatch I, too, found this when I was gearing up for the ZIM concert and its now my favorite; totally underrated, but so great. good yet sad song | Reviewer: Megan ------ About the song The General performed by Dispatch i totally love this song. but it is a song my brother used to play for me when i was little so when i hear it i think of him. but soon he is moveing far away so when i listen to this song i always start to tear up cus im going to miss him.
