Chris Carrabba signs a deal with Universal Music Publishing Group… but that’s not the news… read on:

Here’s an excerpt from the Press Release by Universal Music Publishing Group

On the heels of signing with UMPG, Dashboard Confessional has already
achieved placement in the Film/TV realm with songs from “Dusk and Summer.”
The song “Stolen” was recently placed as the theme song for the television
show “One Ocean View” (ABC).

One Ocean View details from ABC’s press release:

“One Ocean View” is a show about people old enough to have real jobs, issues and baggage, but still young enough to leave all that behind and have a great time. Fun, flings and nights filled with romance heat up as the days grow shorter and the pressure builds to make this a summer to remember.

In the series premiere, “Episode 101,” Lauren, who has come to the summer share with on-and-off-again boyfriend Zack, is vying for the attention of KJ, a handsome and easygoing charmer who knows how to play the field. The game is on when Lauren finds she has a keen competitor in Mary, who also has her eyes fixed on KJ. Flirting and dirty dancing in a local nightclub are just the beginning of Lauren’s maneuvers to land KJ, who is demonstrating equal interest in both females. Meanwhile Zack is not only cast aside, but he’s in denial that Lauren has interest in other men because she continues to spend the nights with him.

!!! A REALITY SHOW !!!
