Tri-vocal funk-coustic instrument-swap groove If you have never heard of this music genre, well, then you haven’t heard Bomber Records recording artist Dispatch. This self-branded style is the perfect description for this innovative group out of Boston that is taking the nation by storm. “Tri-vocal” refers to Dispatch’s three members, Brad Corrigan, Pete Heimbold, and Chad Urmston, “funk-coustic” to their hybrid, tribrid, and seemingly myriad blending of diverse muscial influences ranging from Ben Harper to Rage Against the Machine, Sublime to the Beastie Boys, and even the Police. “Instrument-swap groove” is a reference to their wild, wacky, wonderful live performances that are unpredictable in not only their instrument switching where they exchange electric guitars for acoustic, and drums for acoustic guitars, all while singing, but in the songs that they will lead into from Madonna to Van Morrison.

It's all funk-coustic. Bomber Records recording artist Dispatch (formerly known as One Fell Swoop) has been writing, performing, and recording since 1995. Rooted in rock, reggae, and funk, their music may best be described as a self-branded style of "tri-vocal funkcoustic instrument-swap groove." Whether laying it back with the reggae vibe of Sublime, wailing on acoustic guitars, or jamming on Rage Against the Machine style grooves, the intensity of the band’s three part vocals and harmonies remains front and center. And Dispatch is only three: Braddigan, Chetro, and Peat -- three bandmates, and three frontmen. Their live show involves frequent instrument trading and many on-the-fly changeovers between both acoustic and electric set-ups. Because of all the varying styles and through their percussive jams, raps, and intricate harmonies, Dispatch is growing a tight underground following from coast to coast. Dispatch has recorded 3 albums to date. Bang Bang (Bomber, 1997)is their electric follow-up to their debut album, which lays a solid groove throughout. Dispatch is: Brad Corrigan: vocals, drums, guitar, percussion Pete Heimbold: vocals, bass, guitar Chad Urmston: vocals, guitar, bass, percussion
