Chris Carrabba

In honor of the 20th anniversary of emo's breakout year, this edition of 'In Defense of the Genre' looks at the 20 best emo albums of 2001.

The album reunites Chris with producer James Paul Wisner, who helmed his first two albums, and lead single ”Here's To Moving On,” is a stripped-back acoustic song that hearkens back to Dashboard's early days...

”'Coming Alive' needed that extra edge and energy, Chris brought all that and more to this collaboration,” the band says.

The tour goes down after Dashboard's set at Bonnaroo and it includes some pretty intimate venues.

Organized by Fountains of Wayne's Jody Porter, the event will also feature performances and stories from Mickey Dolenz, Chris Carrabba, James Iha, Ben Kweller, Patrick Carney, and more.

Further Seems Forever's debut album helped bridge the gap between emo's second and third waves, and it remains one of the strongest albums of Chris Carrabba's career. This edition of 'In Defense of the Genre' looks back on the album, in honor of its 20th anniversary...

Jim will also inteview Chris Carrabba, David Bazan, Tegan Quinn and others about their creative processes on the upcoming 'Pass Through Frequencies' series...

"My injuries were severe but not life threatening. I owe the amazing doctors, nurses and medical team treating me my endless gratitude."

plus Phish, Jess Williamson, Josh Ritter, and more livestreams you can watch today since there are no live concerts to attend.

Chris talked about a new album he's sitting on that's in the solo acoustic style of early Dashboard (and he played a song from it), and he and Brian also discussed their roots in punk/hardcore, the word ”emo,” and more...
