Dashboard Confessional Reveal First New Song In 7 Years

(TeamRock Radio) Dashboard Confessional have returned to debut their first new song in 7 years with the release of a video for "May." The black and white clip features Dashboard leader Chris Carrabba performing the track solo on acoustic guitar.

The frontman reveals the tune is one of between 30-40 songs written for the follow-up to 2009's After The Ending. Carrabba tells Billboard: "There's a lot of songs. After we did our co-headlining tour last year with Third Eye Blind, we came home and felt so inspired from having been out in front of people for the first time in a long time that I began actively writing and recording, thinking to myself, 'If I get lucky this will be an album, and if not this will be really fun.' It is an album now."

The group currently finds itself without a record deal, which suits the singer just fine. He explains: "I don't have any plans on deadlines or labels or anything like that. I'm still in a carefree place with all that right now, just enjoying writing and recording these songs." Read more and watch the video here.
