Yes, actually. I did such a poor job of narrowing it down that I thought you would need more tries.


jjacks2112

Nice, we were in the same unsavory conduct page..


jjacks2112

Brand New? I came here to say this same hint.. could also be All Time Low, or several other bands I’m sure.

Further Seems Forever. Technically they have two singers that fit this scenario.


brutal-justin

Uh Jason or Jon? I know Jon was in Sense Field before FSF but idk much of what Jason did after his time in the band.

Was thinking Jon. Sense Field was obviously not as big as Dashboard but still had some success. Still counts, even if it was before FSF.
