The band Dispatch from a small college town in Vermont, became an independent music phenomenon with their unique style of play and catchy songs. In many of their songs, like "Bats in the Belfry," there is a noticeable reggae influence. One trait that sets this song apart from many of the other songs influenced by reggae music is that not only does this song feature the typical reggae guitar and bass playing, but the song also features a strong brass instrumental section that was also typical of early reggae artists.
