Following the recent return of the infamous BLINK 182 I thought it was high time we did a puff piece on them showing who they are and where they came from.
So In the beginning the band consisted of 3 members Mark Hoppus(Bass Guitar) Tom Delonge(Lead Guitar) and Scott Raynor(Drummer) and releasing 3 albums together "Buddha" , "Cheshire Cat" and of course "Dude Ranch" before the drummer Scott Raynor left and was replaced with the well know Travis Baker.
The bands first big hit was the well known "Dammit(growing up)" which quickly became and infectious teen anthem.
The band then went on to write another 3 albums and making it in to the charts with songs like "What's My Age Again?", "All the Small Things", "Adam's Song", "The Rock Show", "First Date", "Stay Together for the Kids","Down", "Feeling This", "Always" and "I Miss You".
The band split up in February 2005 saying they would be going on an "indefinite hiatus," and to everyones surprise in April of 2009 the band has returned saying they are touring again and writing a new album

I've actually been a long-time fan of this punk rock group. Nice post, and I can't wait for their new album!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since they have put together an album, it will be interesting to see if there are any big creative differences to their previous albums. As a big fan I am definitely looking forward to the release of the new album.
