With the official video for "Only The Wild Ones," Dispatch seeks to highlight some of the inspiring individuals and organizations that they have crossed paths with throughout their career. You'll see footage from How's Your News?, a TV show started by Stokes and friends Larry, Sean, and Bob, who, in spite of their disabilities, remain fearless and adventurous. There's also Bobby DuCharme, who became paralyzed in a surfing accident, surfing once again, and Ileana, the first child Corrigan met in Nicaragua's biggest landfill community and the inspiration behind his organization, Love Light + Melody. Additional footage from Project Airtime, a non-profit committed to taking anyone and everyone flying and FIND, one family's chronicle of travelling the world after the adoption of their daughter to bridge cultural divides, can be seen as well.

The band has also announced a handful of US dates this fall including stops at Creating Equilibrium's Main Stage Concert in Olympic Valley, CA (Aug. 26), Nashville's Live on the Green (Aug. 31), On Tap with KCBO at Breckenridge Brewery (Sept. 9), and the 1st Annual Agrasonic Fest in Bowman, SC (Oct. 21). All tickets can be purchased here.

The news comes just as the band wrapped their highly successful US headlining tour earlier this month, which included a SOLD OUT kick-off at Red Rocks, a stop at NYC's Forest Hills Stadium, and headlining sets at this year's Levitate Festival and Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Dispatch will also take the new album to Europe in September, full dates included below.

America, Location 12 was released on June 2, 2017 via Bomber Records/Kobalt and is Dispatch's first effort in five years. The album was recorded with the help of producer by John Dragonetti (The Submarines) with additional production by Mike Sawitzke (The Eels) and has earned the group some high praise from the press. "Full of breezy ballads, globe-trekking melodies and smart-yet-ragged production, the new LP may be their best," the Boston Herald's Jed Gottlieb wrote. Magnet said the album was, "a towering example of its musical gifts." KUTX (Austin) added, "...the album is a testament to the band's expanded musical palette and background in humanitarianism. Brimming with protest songs it is an uncompromising look at the peace and plight of the human condition. The subject matter may be heavy but the sound produced is oh-so-sweet." Paste picked up "Only the Wild Ones" when it first dropped saying, "it's the kind of song you'd want to hear on a Sunday morning, or any morning, for that matter."

Now with the single on course to be the band's biggest song ever as it firmly sits in the Top 10 at AAA and racks up record streaming numbers, Dispatch is thrilled to release the official music video (link) and announce some additional tour dates. All confirmed dates can be found below with more to come in the US this fall. For the most up to date information, please visit www.dispatchmusic.com.
