Dashboard Confessional Band • Page 5

I remember not really caring about or liking DC until I saw the MTV unplugged performance on tv. I was mind blown as a teenager watching it. Great performance and the crowd was great.

 

Shade isn't a favorite, it's too one-note throughout, but there are some great songs for sure. Still better than Dusk and Summer

 

Agreed. It sounds like it's trying a little too hard to sound like early Dashboard.. almost like they wanted to get something out quick to please the fans who were disappointed with "Dusk & Summer."

"Widow's Peak" is a damn good song though

 

No way

 

Dusk and Summer is my favorite D.C. Album.

 

Mine too

 

Dashboard Confessional's Chris Carrabba Is Emo, But He's Not Sad · NYLON

 

Great interview. Glad he seems so passionate about the new music.. though I was hoping they'd continue on the path where Alter The Ending left off. So excited though!

 

I thought the lyrics on D&S were pretty damn good...

 

Same with Alter The Ending.. "Get Me Right," "Water and Bridges," etc..

It certainly never seemed like he stopped caring about lyrics

 

Happy to read he's doing a new album. Glad he's embracing the earlier Dashboard sound. I liked Twin Forks and wonder if he'll continue that band, but Heart.Beat.Here brings me back to his early solo work.

 

Did they ever press the "So Impossible" EP on vinyl?

 

i wish i snagged tickets to the SLC show before they sold out, but here's the setlist from the first night of their new tour lastnight:

Dashboard Confessional Setlist at Paradise Rock Club, Boston

 

Wow. If I still lived in NYC i'd be all over that. Only $10 too.

 

Holy fuck.

 

oh shit!! Nice little treat. I love how much Chris likes recording and releasing cover songs

 

oh man Love Yourself totally works as a Dashboard song

 

Never thought I'd hear a Dashboard cover of the 1975. This is lovely

 

I'll still ride for Dashboard. I prefer their first three acoustic joints to any of the full band stuff. Spinning Swiss Army for the first time in forever. Good stuff

 

New covers EP is cool. Exactly what you want a stopgap covers EP to be. Cool song selection. Makes them his own and doesn't sound like a copycat.

 

What about these new songs they've been playing? Anyone hear any?

 

Nope, but it should have been haha.

 

I know! Would be a cool 10" RSD exclusive or something haha
