If anyone at all reads this, first I would be would be shocked and second I am going to get shit for this. Since I've been playing shitty acoustic music one of my top three favorite bands has been Dashboard Confessional. Over the years there has been a backlash of "I hate whiny bands that just sing about how sad they are and that's all Dashboard does and if you like them you have no taste in music. They just suck, dude." To each his own but the dude can sing and write a mean song.
The Shade of the Poison Trees got little press or fanfare compared to A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar or Dusk and Summer but is just as solid if not better than the rehashing of "Hands Down". While I can't vouch for Chris Carraba as a dude, he may or maynot be a douche but I've never met him but he seems to be an alright guy, I have yet to hear a bad album from him.
So I guess what all that babble leads to this.
1) If you like a band that your friends don't like, it's ok. Don't let anyone pick on you for liking something.
2) Go buy The Shade of Poison Tree's by Dashboard Confessional.
3) Watch this:
It's Saturday. Go drink and have a good time.
