"Dispatch (formerly One Fell Swoop) is amazing. I have not stopped listening to this cd since I got it. It is just song after good song. My personal favorites are "Here We Go," "The General," "Bang Bang" and "Drive." These guys can be compared to many different bands. The most obvious comparison would be to Guster, both have amazing vocals and great diverse drums. However, the General, is a very jammable song which leads to a mention of Phish the best jam band currently. The vocals and lyrics can even be compared to G Love. My friends have also told me that particular songs sound like reminiscent Sublime to them. I dunno about that one. What I do know is that this band is incredible. I am going to be upset when the radio plays their songs until I hate them. You must buy this cd. You will love it. End of Story."
Dispatch rules!

"This is an incredible cd and I recommend it to anyone who likes good music. Dispatch is described as a tri-vocal funk acoustic rhythem regae groove band or something like that. If you like Sublime, Ben Harper, Bob Marley, Dave Matthews you'll like Dispatch. You can put this cd in and listen to it the whole way through. There isn't a bad track on the entire album. I recommend buying all Dispatch's cds and checking them out live they rule. They played the napster benefit concert so you can check them out on napster too."

"The band Dispatch has created a winner with its album Bang Bang. The incredible instrumental work (acoustic, percussion) and vocals make every song on this album a listening treat. The lyrics are just as amazing as the music it is put to; they are poetry in themselves. The songs are mostly calm and easy to listen to but mixed in with a few fun, upbeat tracks as well. Personal favourites of mine include track #3, "The General,"- a phenomenal song that one could listen to over and over again- and track #4, "Bang Bang," among others. The band deserves all the accolades possible, they are truly amazing. Anyone who buys this CD will surely not be disappointed. Bravo! I love it!"

"this album is trully unlike most ive ever listened to. The bands unique style of acoustics and percussion gives them such a great sound. Its one of those cd's that you can just put in and listen to the whole thing strait through. When listening to it its not a point of trying to filter out the not so good ones, but rather to choose which ones are even more amazing that the others. Which in very hard to do considering every one is different and amazing. However i definatly think that "The general" and "Bats in the Belfry" are byfar two of the best songs i have ever heard. I recomend this cd to anyone, its impossible to not instantly fall in love with it."
Great stuff

"Ok, i'll admit it, i just got into Dispatch after hearing the general. But then I bought this CD, and was blown away. The variety, the intensity, the emotion, everything in this album is suburb. The first 5 tracks are unforgetable, the lyrics of every song intelligent, thought provoking and ingenious. Who else, the first time they heard Bang Bang, and understood the story, was amazed. This CD is a true package, with every song representing the very best of this band's talent. Here We Go, Bats in the Bellfry, The General, Two Coins, Bang Bang, and the rest will all become your favorite songs. You will obsess over them like everyone else, and will travel for miles to see this band perform. I guarentee it."
