Look forward to a taste of new material as Dashboard is currently readying the follow-up to 2003's Gold "A Mark A Mission A Brand A Scar." Entering the Billboard charts at number 2, "A Mark..." met with popular and critical acclaim. Rolling Stone said, "'A Mark...' is easily the toughest, most assured music (singer/guitarist Chris Carrabba) ever made, summing up the vulnerable charisma that has made him a cult idol for fans who crave the kind of emotional realness that has totally disappeared from the mainstream-rock assembly line." The New York Times hailed the album as, "A remarkable disc that may become the year's most popular record." Joining forces with renowned producer Daniel Lanois (U2, Brian Eno, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel), the band is looking toward an early 2006 release date for the upcoming album.
