What a tremendous honor it was to have the titan that is @danbonebrake of @dashboardconfessional join me for “Again I Go Unnoticed” a couple weeks back @thefestfl . The full song is on The Fest’s Youtube. This is one I won’t soon forget.

🎃NEW MERCH🎃
You didn’t think I’d do a tour without some new cotton, did you? Here’s the deal: I made very small runs of everything…but am already close to selling out (particularly zip-ups; thank you, cat people). I am trying my best to have everything available at all the shows, (including @thefestfl ). If I’m out of your size at a show, I’ll send it out free of shipping on or before 10/10. That gives you plenty of time to sport these before Halloween.
•”Spooky Cat” Zip-Up Hoodie. Fun fact: this is a Brian Fallon design that never saw the light of day, repurposed for yours truly!
•”Spooky Cat” T-Shirt
•”Hurt More Now” 3/4 Sleeve Baseball Tee
•”Ropes & Anchor” T-Shirt
•”Spooky Cat” Trucker Hat
🐈⬛ Anyone who buys the full “Cat Pack” (hoodie, t-shirt, and hat) will receive a special gift with their order.
A massive thanks to @dogwigprinting , the best in the biz, for handling these.

My new EP “Never Said” is available everywhere NOW! Thank you so much to everyone who helped bring this record to fruition. Endless thanks to those who pre-ordered. Buying, streaming, or pirating the record are all great, and fine by me, but the MOST meaningful thing you can do — above all else — is to share it. If you know someone who you think might enjoy it, show them. I didn’t reinvent the wheel here, I just put my own spin on it. Let me know your favorite songs, lyrics, or moments from the record. Thank you for your support.

Thank you for coming back for our final episode of 2025. Today’s guest is Jared Knapik a songwriter from CT. We discuss his musical evolution from childhood influences like Blink-182 and Green Day to his current solo career.
Starting with guitar after receiving a bass from his brother, Jared was inspired by Dashboard Confessional’s MTV Unplugged to pursue acoustic music. He began releasing original music under his own name in 2011, eventually embracing this identity despite initial regrets.
Jared discusses his strategic approach to touring from Connecticut, his preference for quality over quantity in releases, and his collaborative recording process. He’s currently working on new material targeting a spring/summer release.
