 (1 Customer Review)
D.I.Y. superstars Dispatch have made a name for themselves by embodying the punk aesthetic of doing it yourself without corporate intervention, even though their music owes nothing to the sound of punk itself. In fact, given the songs on Who Are We Living For?, a more ideal audience for their funk/world/jazz/R&B/rap-tinged rock & roll is graduated Dave Matthews Band listeners: people who enjoy that band's eclecticism but have been turned off by their degree of media saturation. Lyrically, most of Who Are We Living For? is rife with social commentary, addressing leftist social issues that run the gamut from homelessness, violence, and justice. It's not surprising from a band that was arrested in 2000 for protesting the Boston presidential debates because of the exclusion of Ralph Nader. The end result sounds like a more politicized, eclectic 311, and even if many of the songs are ultimately undistinguished, Who Are We Living For? is an album made by and for the collegiate rock crowd. ~ Jason Damas
Dispatch: Chetro (vocals, guitar, trombone, percussion); Repete (vocals, bass guitar); Braddigan (vocals, drums, percussion).

| | Dispatch Four Day Trials CD (2000) Remastered
Who Are We Living For?
$12.65
Part of what makes Dispatch so likeable is their raw, diverse sound. Any given song features a multitude of vocals, hard-hitting guitar riffs, or soft, soothing instrumentals. That said, it stands to reason that sitting in on a recording session with Dispatch as they tinker around and attempt new sounds is probably the best way to experience their music. And that is exactly the feel you get when listening to Four-Day Trials, a ten-track collection of first takes recorded in a studio over a four-day period in 1997. While it is not Dispatch's most accomplished album, the impromptu recording, and thus the raw sounds that emerge on the record, make it something unique. Many of the tracks on the album are popular songs heard at one of Dispatch's many electrifying shows. The unusual guitar sounds at the beginning of "Bulletholes" likens the track to ...
| | Dispatch Bang Bang CD (2000) Remastered
Who Are We Living For?
$11.99
The New England trio Dispatch are back with their second full-length album, Bang Bang, a sharp collection of ten songs that is pleasing on all ends of the musical spectrum, from instruments to vocals to songwriting. Rarely does the record fall into a pattern, and instead Dispatch rotate their sound, from Guster-esque mellowness to the quick style of Sublime. And sometimes they make the transition within the same song. "Bats in the Belfry" is a perfect example of this musical mix, with the trombones and a Sublime-like tempo during the chorus, and a more mellow speed orchestrated perfectly by lead singer Brad Corrigan for the rest of the song. Conversely, the album's next track, "The General," performs the opposite by reserving the mellowness for the chorus and hitting the fast tempo right from the song's onset. The standout song on the album is, in fact, one of the simpler ...

| | Beast Of British CD (2001)
Who Are We Living For?
$10.55
The liner notes for Beast of British assert that this early-'00s release is meant to "prove that in 21st century Britain, punk most certainly ain't dead." To be sure, punk has never really left England -- or the United States for that matter. Much of the alternative rock recorded in England (and the U.S.) in the early '00s (everything from post-grunge to emocore to alternative metal) had some type of punk influence. Not all of the British bands on this 20-song compilation embrace ...
