More on Dashboard Confessional
As mentioned, Dashboard are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year. Along with a compilation album and tour, they also dropped newly found live footage. Leader Chris Carrabba is revealing to the public a live video of a 2001 performance of “Screaming Infidelities” that he found on a VHS tape in his basement storage.
Dashboard Confessional’s compilation, titled The Best Ones Of The Best Ones, includes songs from all seven full-lengths, the So Impossible and The Drowning EPs as well as their MTV Unplugged performance.
On top of that, Carrabba is offering fans a fun throwback by way of the rediscovered live footage. The clip was filmed in Hartford, Connecticut, shortly after releasing their breakthrough record, The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most.
