- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

   Dashboard Confessional was started in 1999, as a side project from Chris
   Carrabba's (gay) venture with Florida rock band Further Seems Forever. The
   name Dashboard Confessional is derived from one of his songs, "The Sharp Hint
   of New Tears," which contains the line "On the way home/This car hears my
   confessions." Contrary to popular belief, the name Dashboard Confessional
   refers only to Carrabba, as he originally intended it to be only a solo
   project. Addressing this misunderstanding, he challenged: "What rulebook says
   it has to be called your name if you're one guy?" But Carrabba often brought
   along friends to play live shows with him and in 2002 he decided to make the
   current line-up a permanent one. Jolie Lindholm, formerly of The Rocking
   Horse Winner, also provided background vocals on Chris' debut album The Swiss
   Army Romance.

   The current line-up includes Carrabba (vocals, guitar), John Lefler (guitar),
   Scott Schoenbeck (bass) (formerly in The Promise Ring), and Mike Marsh
   (drums). Both John Lefler and Mike Marsh provide background vocals. Chris'
   friend and guitarist John Ralston and violinist Susan Sherouse often perform
   and record with the group. As of 2006, they have released four EPs and five
   full-length albums, three of which have been certified gold by the RIAA.

   They won the MTV2 award at 2002's MTV Video Music Awards for their song
   "Screaming Infidelities".

   In May of 2005, Dashboard Confessional entered the studio to record their
   fourth album with Daniel Lanois. Lanois has co-produced the albums So (Peter
   Gabriel) and The Joshua Tree (U2), and produced Bob Dylan's Grammy award
   winning album Time Out of Mind (Album of the Year, 1997). "Don't Wait" was
   the first single released from Dashboard Confessional's latest album Dusk and
   Summer, which was released on June 27, 2006. The album's second single was
   "Stolen". Following the release of Dusk and Summer, Dashboard Confessional
   went on a summer tour of the U.S. with special guests Say Anything and Ben
   Lee. They followed this with a co-headlining arena tour with alternative rock
   band Brand New.

   Dashboard Confessional performed at the Brick Awards on April 12, 2007 as a
   featured musical guest, in addition to playing the final show of the mtvU
   Campus Invasion Tour 2007 at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia on April 29,
   2007.

   The band was featured on PBS' acclaimed music series Soundstage, with a
   performance taped at New York's Madison Square Garden debuting on the network
   July 12, 2007. The broadcast, repeated nationally over subsequent weeks,
   included "Don
