Why do I start what I can't finish?

I like it enough. I don't think I've ever actually to a song of theirs before? Like, I know who they are, but I don't think I've ever taken the time to listen to their music, lol. “Vindicated” was the official theme song to Spider-Man 2 ”Stolen” was in the season finale of Scrubs

"Rooftops and Invitations" and "Rapid Hope Loss" are my preferred singles from them. Besides "Vindicated," "Hands Down" is I believe their only other Top 10 in their history.
I had no idea until their first hit "Screaming Infidelities" came out that they're from Boca Raton, which is super close to me.

If you wanna see him live, I suggest you save your money.

It's nice to see some pop-punk (that isn't by a huge/established veteran artist) return to Alternative.

This song really resonates with me, and Dashboard Confessional is one 2000s emo-leaning artist that I'm happy to see back on the charts.
I haven't watched the live video, but if it's really that bad, then that's pretty sad considering MTV Unplugged broke them through.

Potential pop single, because this is definitely not going to Alt.

I like the song and I hope it becomes a moderate hit for them.

That Cash Cash thing was terrible. I wouldn't be surprised if some hybrid Alt station starts playing this, and it s starts stinking up the chart in 2018?

I like the art style of that video, but it was a bit choppy for my liking. It kind of hurt my eyes tbh.

It's funny because back in 06-09 when pop/punk was taking over, the alternative format was starting to reject alot of it. You literally could not tell which pop/punk songs would be welcomed and which would be turned away. Like for example alternative turned away The All American Rejects' "Move Along" album and Boys Like Girls entirely, but welcomed at least one Fall Out Boy & P!ATD single per album, which made no sense. Dashboard was one group that started to get rejected in 2007 starting with "Stolen" (I know "Don't Wait" briefly impacted alternative, but after that they were done). They also didn't help themselves by releasing this crap: Anyways, I'm starting to like "We Fight", it's growing on me.

AAR and Fall Out Boy were at their absolute peak, pop leaning and getting played on CHR (not alternative) in the mid 2000's. They didn't need Alt because at the time because it was crossing over

What I'm saying is Alternative didn't seem to have any standards with regard to which bands they played and which ones they didnt between 06-09.

This has grown to be infectious for me, absolutely brilliant. Probably only behind Vindicated as far as my favourite Dashboard singles go at this point.

Would've been nice to see it go top 10 especially since sales are surprisingly solid, but I won't complain about its run since I don't think a lot of people thought it would do anything in the first place.

I got tired of this song pretty quickly. Guess the audience felt the same way.
