BLINK182
Blink182 are my fave band out of em all and i hope to be able to get as much info, picz and all that shit as soon as i can! So, a bit of history first! Blink182 is : Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker. Travis is the new drummer for Blink182, the previous being Scott Raynor. Blink182 started out 6 years ago. Scott was only 15, Tom 16, and Mark 17 (I Think?). Anyway, the original name of the band was just 'Blink', but then an Irish Techno band with the same name threatened to take legal action if the didn't change. So they did, to Blink182! Who knows what the 182 stands for. I read somewhere that i could be the number of Princess Leia posters on Marks bedroom wall...
Blink182 brought out a 12 track album, sortof a demo, only 6 months after they formed. It was called 'Buddah' (Kungfu records) and was released in 1998. Thier first proper album, Chesire Cat (Grilled Cheese/MCA) is my favorite. I dunno when it was brought out... (gotta do my homework!) Their most popular album so far, Dude Ranch (Grilled Cheese/MCA) was brought out in 1997, and is still a pretty kewl album, with the hits Dammit and Josie.
The latest album, Enemy of the State, was brought out a coupla months ago, (something/something/1999). It's alot different to the others and some would say that they change the way their vocals are too much. I think if you listen to the album enough it grows on you. Enemy of the State features hit "Whats my Age Again?". I have all three Albums.
Blink also had another little album, withonly about 8 songs i think. It was called FlySwatter(???). It had a coupla songs of Buddah in it.. but i dunno if it was before buddah or after it. It is very very very rare, and i would assume hard to get. But if you could get in contact with kungfu (who i assume produced it) you could get a copy MAYBE!
if you do let me know.
Blink have a few singles also: Wasting Time (my fave song), Apple Shampoo, Dammit, Whats my age again, Dick Lips, Wasting Time x2, and a couple more i cant think of right now.
Blink182 have toured Autralia twice...
Ok! Enough of the boring shit... onto the good stuff!
