Blink 182 Biography
The new-school punk trio blink-182 was formed in the suburbs of
San Diego, California around guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge,
bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus, and drummer Scott Raynor. Originally
known as simply Blink, the band debuted in 1993 with a self-released
EP, Fly Swatter. After releasing the album Buddha in 1994, the trio
signed to Grilled Cheese/Cargo and released Cheshire Cat the following
year. The threat of a lawsuit from a similarly named Irish band forced
them to change their name to blink-182, but the group earned a higher
profile touring the world with Pennywise and NOFX on the 1996-1997
Warped Tour, plus appearing on innumerable skate/surf/snowboarding
videos.
The third blink-182 LP, Dude Ranch, was jointly released in 1997 by
Cargo and MCA. Dude Ranch expanded the group's audience and went
platinum by the end of 1998, due in part to the popularity of their
infectious teen anthem, Dammit (Growing Up). The group also signed
officially with MCA, which released the band's fourth album, Enema of
the State, in the summer of 1999. The album, produced by Jerry Finn
(Green Day, Rancid), also welcomed a new member into the trio's ranks;
Travis Barker, formerly with the Aquabats, settled in on drums after
Raynor left midway through a 1998 U.S. tour. Enema was greeted with
almost immediate success, and helped the band achieve the mainstream
status of toilet-humored pop-punk kings that Dude Ranch had only hinted
at. Driven by the commercially successful singles What's My Age
Again?, All The Small Things, and Adam's Song, music videos for
the three songs (whose clips included themes of streaking and boy band
spoofs) were MTV smashes as well.
After selling over four million copies of Enema of the State, the trio
played on with the limited-edition release The Mark, Tom, and Travis
Show (The Enema Strikes Back) in fall 2000. The album featured the
band's radio hits in a live setting, intertwined with their quirky
sense of humor as well as the new song Man Overboard. Take Off Your
Pants and Jacket, issued in spring 2001, saw the band return to their
SoCal punk rock roots. Maturity, of a sort, came with 2003's
self-titled album, released on Geffen. Not only did the album sport a
song ( All of This ) that featured Robert Smith of the Cure, but I
Miss You also topped the modern rock charts in 2005.
In February 2005, however, popular as ever and seemingly
indestructible, blink-182 unexpectedly announced they would be going on
an indefinite hiatus, supposedly to spend more time with their
growing families. Asking fans for help in selecting tracks, the group
issued Greatest Hits that November. Bandmembers also continued on with
other projects: Barker -- who had previously released an album with
DeLonge as Boxcar Racer -- continued playing with the Transplants and
running his clothing company, Famous Stars and Straps. His family was
also spotlighted in the MTV reality show Meet the Barkers. Hoppus
carried on with his Atticus fashion venture, began producing --
starting with Motion City Soundtrack's Commit This to Memory -- and
hosting his own podcasts. He further began work with Barker in a new
band, Plus 44. DeLonge also continued work with his lifestyle clothing
company, Macbeth, and formally announced his new project, Angels and
Airwaves, that fall. ~ John Bush & Corey Apar, All Music Guide
