Blink 182: Details |
Quite possibly the only band that has thanked the lost colony of Roanoake Island in their Compact Disc
Jacket. Blink 182 hails from the great state of California and has gained noterity for their
inability to take themselves seriously. In fact, Blink 182 is one of the few bands out there that
would proudly say that their music is a joke.
Blink 182 was formed when outcast Mark Hoppus was introduced, through a friend, to Tom Delonge, who
already had a reputation as the villiage idiot. The legend goes something like this: Once upon
a time, two kids began jamming and joking 
around for a bit, and both said that they just wanted to write music about girls,
partying, school, and whatever stupid things happen to stupid kids.
These two kids named themsleves blink and formed
a punk band. Later the band changed its name from Blink to Blink 182, when an irish band that
was already named Blink threatned to "bloody slag the boyos wit o boxo Lucky Charms!" The 182 has no deep meaning.
Blink 182 is currently basking in the success that they're recieving for their third album, "Enema of the State."
In their spare time, they're writing a movie, setting up a live album, playing shows, and trying to figure out
how they get all that soda into a sealed aluminum can. Be on the lookout for the new live album that's
hitting stores this November.
