With the release of dashboardmusic’s TheBestOnesOfTheBestOnes compilation, ChrisCarrabba reflects back on his favorite songs & hits
Despite Dashboard Confessional's status as one of the most beloved rock bands of the new millennium, Chris Carrabba believes their success has come from luck. “We've done it all without ever having a proper hit,” Carrabba says over the phone from Nashville. Carrabba never thought that there could be a hits compilation either, but he did reach the stage in his career where it was possible.
Since its formation in 1999, Dashboard Confessional has released seven albums in addition to the recent comp. Over the past two decades, frontman Carrabba has, for many people, become the face of emo, as Dashboard Confessional’s music remains a source of catharsis for its listeners. He still isn’t fully sure why they’ve become so comforting to people, but he has a few guesses: “Maybe they can feel the honesty of intention in the song.
In addition to Dashboard Confessional, Carrabba also has his folk-rock project Twin Forks and is a founding member of Further Seems Forever. And when he’s not focused on his own projects, he’s supporting rising artists in the indie rock and emo space like Julien Baker and pronoun, for instance. “From the get go, I felt like this, some sense of responsibility, but mostly just excitement, to share bands I believe in that [fans] hadn't heard yet,” says Carrabba.
However, when Carrabba is making music he doesn’t think in terms of his specific bands or projects. “I think every songwriter lives in fear that the last song they wrote will be the last song that they'll ever write,” he says. “And so, I live in hope that there'll be another song. And if you were to ask me, ‘Do I want it to be a Further [Seems Forever] song or a Dashboard [Confessional] song or Twin Forks song,' I want it to be all of them.
