Dashboard Confessional is a band that got its start in 1999. Led by singer and songwriter Chris Carrabba, the band has developed significantly since its debut. Originally just Carrabba and a guitar, it is only on Dashboard’s 2009 album, Alter the Ending, that it truly became a band effort. With growing maturity and developed songwriting skills, Dashboard is appealing to as broad an audience as ever. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com speaks with Chris about the evolution from solo project to full band effort, his songwriting process and the most important piece of advice he’s ever received. continue reading...

The music video for My Chemical Romance’s “Desolation Row” has finally made its North American debut. The song, a reinterpretation of the Bob Dylan classic, was recorded specifically for the upcoming feature film Watchmen. Watchmen: Music From the Motion Picture, which contains the song, is due from Warner Sunset/Reprise Records on March 3rd, three days before the film hits theaters nationwide.
The video, which was helmed by Watchmen director Zack Snyder, transports the viewer into the world of Watchmen in an alternate 1985. My Chemical Romance is performing at a dive bar, reigning as the lords of anarchy above a moshpit. As the crowd surges back and forth, the scene recalls the glory days of the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, Iggy Pop, and The Dead Kennedys. A fight breaks out and becomes a bloody free-for-all as the band keeps playing. The mayhem spills out onto the street. The cops arrive and drag off the band members who are kicking, spitting, and punching the whole way. Director of Photography Guillermo Navarro (an Academy Award® winner for Pan’s Labyrinth), has given the proceedings a grimy, otherworldly effect. continue reading...

The band’s name is Tokio Hotel and apparently they’ve sold over 6 million records around the world, but have yet to break into the American market. They’re set to give it a shot with their first english sung record Scream.
