Dashboard Confessional

Emo Acoustic Rock Band

Dashboard Confessional is an American rock band led by singer-songwriter Chris Carrabba, which emerged from the emo scene in the late 1990s and gained prominence in the early 2000s. The band is known for its intimate acoustic sound and deeply personal lyrics, which resonated with a wide audience, particularly among younger listeners who connected with Carrabba's emotive storytelling. Dashboard Confessional's breakthrough came with their second album, "The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most" (2001), which included hits like "Screaming Infidelities" and "Saints and Sailors." Their music often features a blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation, with Carrabba's heartfelt vocals at the forefront.
