Circles Around The Sun, the new album from Dispatch has
debuted at Number 24 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart, marking the band's
highest chart entry in their 16-year history. The album also debuted as the
Number 10 Digital Album in the U.S. and earned the band career high debuts in
Germany, Canada, and Austria.
Dispatch will tour the world in support of the new release.
In addition to previously announced U.S. dates (including SOLD OUT shows at New
York City's Radio City Music Hall and Washington DC's Constitution Hall), the
band today announced European dates in early 2013. Kicking off on January 23rd
in Vienna, Austria, Dispatch will also visit Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, and
the Netherlands, wrapping up on February 4th in Dortmund, Germany. See below
for a complete list of international dates.
Circles Around The Sun was released on August
21st via the band's own Bomber Records and is available in stores and at all
digital retailers now. Produced by Peter Katis (Interpol, Jonsi, The National),
the album is an eclectic rock and roll record that delivers on the gutsy storytelling,
compelling songwriting, and radiant harmonies that earned the band its diehard
fanbase.

"Dispatch fans old and new will embrace Circles
Around The Sun."

"[Circles Around The Sun] is, without hyperbole, one of
the best tracks Dispatch has ever written, and if there's a better way to kick
off your first album in over ten years, it's hard to imagine."
