Chris Black reflects on Dashboard Confessional’s The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most for GQ:

It was early December, but the room was so packed that the walls were sweating. He got up on stage alone, and the room screamed every lyric back to him in a way that I still haven’t experienced. People believed every word he said and wanted to be in a room full of people who felt the same way. It was one of those rare moments, like when I saw The xx play The Mercury Lounge, that I just knew how big this thing was going to get.
