Thanks to two great singles in "Screaming Infidelities" and "Saints and Sailors", the album was able to go gold. In 2002, following the success of that album, the band was asked to perform for MTV Unplugged. The performance would be recorded, released and go platinum. In 2003, the band released its third album A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar. This album also went gold with the help of single "Hands Down". In 2004, the band scored a hit single of the Spider-man 2 soundtrack with "Vindicated". Two Years later, the band released their fourth album with Dusk and Summer. The album would spawn two hit singles in "Don't Wait" and "Stolen". In late 2007, they released their fifth album in The Shade of Poison Trees which has spawn two singles in "Thick as Thieves" and "These Bones". The band is due to release their next album this fall, and with the upcoming tour, I'm sure they'll be plenty busy. That being said, this week's artist is Dashboard Confessional with their video Hands Down, enjoy.Sunday, August 3, 2008
Artist of the Week: Dashboard Confessional
Here's the deal, this past week, MTV announced the Rock Band Live Tour to promote the upcoming release of Rock Band 2. The tour will span 29 cities starting in San Diego on October 5Th and ending in Houston on November 14. The tour will have The Cab and Plain White T's as the opening acts and will be co-headlined by Panic at the Disco and this week's artist. Speaking of this week's artist, let me tell you a little bit about them. The band originated as a side project for singer-songwriter Chris Carrabba. In 2000 he recorded his first album Swiss Army Romance. The following year, he left his original band and turned his side project into his full time project. In 2001, Chris recorded and release his follow up album The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most. Thanks to two great singles in "Screaming Infidelities" and "Saints and Sailors", the album was able to go gold. In 2002, following the success of that album, the band was asked to perform for MTV Unplugged. The performance would be recorded, released and go platinum. In 2003, the band released its third album A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar. This album also went gold with the help of single "Hands Down".
