Dashboard Confessional, fronted by Chris Carrabba, is best known for its acoustic-driven emo anthems. The band emerged from the South Florida scene in the late 1990s. The band was at a commercial peak following the success of their 2003 album "A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Legacy." This release found them continuing to explore a more layered, band-oriented sound.
