Dashboard Confessional

Dashboard Confessional is an American rock band from Boca Raton, Florida, led by singer-songwriter Chris Carrabba.[1] The name of the band is derived from the song "The Sharp Hint of New Tears" from the debut album The Swiss Army Romance.

A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar (2003–2005)

In 2003, the band released its third album, A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar. Peaking at #2 on the United States Billboard charts, the album proved to be the band's most commercially-viable album yet.

In the summer of 2004, Dashboard Confessional recorded the song "Vindicated" for the film Spider-Man 2. It was featured on the soundtrack and played over the film's end credits. Due to such usage, the band gained a sizable audience for their next release the following summer.
