Dashboard Confessional Your hair. It’s been everywhere for a decade and a half now. Still, there is not one Dashboard Confessional fan that’s grown wearing of the emo power ballad Dashboard frontman Chris Carrabba made famous on solo acoustic tours so many years ago. The tattooed heartthrob just released a surprise covers EP where he takes on Bieber, Julien Baker, Sorority Noise and The 1975, but expect him and the band to pull from every angle of the their six-piece discography. “Every song in the catalog has a chance to be played,” they said in a press release, “along with the possibility of new unreleased tracks such as ‘Heart.Beat.Here,’” which is a throwback to the sound Dashboard Confessional made famous on albums like Swiss Army Romance and The Places You Have Come To Fear the Most.
