know only "Hands Down" - what a great song :) My friends an me, we achieved that they're playing this song in our favorite club every week :D

love dashboard, saw him in concert last summer

okay, i keep getting confused. people tell me dasboard confessional is just the one guy and then other people SWEAR it's a band. i don't know what to believe.

 

i like db mostly for their lyrics. i think their pretty interesting.

Db is a band.

i love chris carraba :P his lyrics are amazing and his voice is really cool (to me, anyway)

oh god we got another one

Another what? Dashboard has great poetic lyrics.

Dashboard is a great emo band! Love there songs, just brilliant! I really love to see them live but I live in Portugal, it is alost impossible to they came here :(...I just can watch the dvd of the MTV Unplugged.

 

Fav Song - "Places You've Come To Fear The Most"

I don't really like them. It is just something about his voice. Too whinerish for my taste. Plus the songs are really, really similar in lyrics and sound. Granted many bands songs sound the same. I'll get my fix on lyricism elsewhere.

you missed one thing, they are NOT emo. not even close, they are as emo as coldplay....

 

to tell you the truth there is no real emo around today, the closest thing is modern emo and that would be jimmy eat world and stuff like that.

 

but whats with laguna beach and dashboard? ive heard their song on alot of the episodes.. i like it.

i like dashboard. my brother's friend did this AMAZING cover of the song at a school festival last year, now anytime i hear the song "hands down" i think of him.

Dashboard Confessional release new album

 

Dashboard Confessional are set to release their new album 'The Shade Of Poison Trees' on October 8.

 

The record is Chris Carrabba's fifth album, and the follow up to 2006's 'Dusk And Summer'.

 

The LP was recorded with Pearl Jam conhort Don Gilmore.

 

According to a statement it is "a return to his signature acoustic sound that (frontman) Chris Carrabba first developed on early Dashboard Confessional albums like 2000's 'The Swiss Army Romance' and 2001's 'The Place You Have Come To Fear the Most'".

 

Carraba is set to play a headlining UK tour, his first for five years in the autumn. Dates are expected to be announced soon.

yay

One of my guilty pleasures. Man, I hate copping to this one.

I was feeling a bit ashamed about bumping this thread, so we're in the same boat. :lol:

I love Dashboard, but don't tell anyone, it's embarrassing.

I love Dashboard, but don't tell anyone, it's embarrassing.

 

Most guys feel that way, me included. Sometimes chris' lyrics are too whiney, but he is capable of writing some fantastic songs.

I like the "Alter the Ending" album.

 

Although at the moment I'm liking more the acoustic versions on the 2nd disc
