Should listen to so impossible, summer's kiss and places that we've come to fear the most... good stuff, especially if you just got your heart broken : ).

and for the record dc is not punk nor is it emotional punk...he can't help it if people like you or mtv or whomever categorize his music.



what do you expect mtv fame to do to a person? Make him not sell out shows :0.



anyway, people have different tastes in music, I used to listen to 311 when I was in 5th grade, can't stand them now...

I guess pop music dressed as punk ala good charlotte, avril, all american rejects whatever else is playing on mtv is what's in right now..so deal with it and hopefully it'll pass over.

and honestly...if you don't like the music, how can you be sick of it? You actually listen to it for that long?

well, between the combonation of the radio/mtv/other ppl talking about it and listening to it, thats hwo i got sick of it.

yeah, hopefully this 'punkpop' crap will pass, its really sad...

and actually all DC does after a heartbreak is make it worse ;), listen to something good to take out your anger!!1

I recommend Disturbed's Down With the Sickness..."Open up your hate and let it flow into me..."

I hope hardcore gets big, then my friends will get on mtv, and it will be fun to see them on TV.
Its cute to want to keep something special to yourself, but if its good enough to package and sell to mainstream america, let it be sold.
I liked dashboard when I first heard them ~4 years ago. But I got really tired of it really quick. It seems like he plays the same song over and over again, and seeing all of those fat girls sing their heart out with him weirds me out.

Bah, so they are not screaming, they don't have some stupid as fvck name like Satan's Killers, and it's lo-fi. OMG!

I don't care for them, but jesus christ people be a little open minded. So what if he's not singing with a deep voice or super cheesy monster-like growl. I think some of you just listen to music to remind yourself that you still have testicles.

Again I Go Unnoticed is a good song.... Screaming Infidelities is alright, and I haven't heard many of the others.

Not too bad IMO....

i'd actually say his first album was one of the best albums this wave of emo has had to offer, right up there with Jimmy Eat World's pre-Dreamworks work and Thursday's Full Collapse. it's really a great piece of songwriting. the second album added one really great song, and the next EP added one more, but other than that, the stuff after the first album wasn't that great. i heard the single off the third album and refuse to even listen to the rest of it. but it should be realized that the early dashboard work was anything but "wannabe" and there's been a lot of copycat groups/artists since then.

well they have several music videos already, so get in the now. brand new has several videos already as well. and you should know brand new has more than one album. lastly: thursday, cursive, and the blood brothers > juliana, hopesfall and (barf!) count the stars. the blood brothers alone are harder, faster, and vastly more intelligent than all those bands together.
