blink-182 is a pop punk band from Poway, California formed in 1992 by Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Scott Raynor. In 1998 Raynor was replaced by Travis Barker, and in early 2005 DeLonge left the group, initiating an indefinite hiatus. DeLonge went on to form Angels & Airwaves, while Hoppus and Barker formed +44. On February 8, 2009, blink-182 announced that they had reunited
In 1999, blink-182 hired Jerry Finn as its producer and recorded “Enema of the State”. This album propelled the band into the mainstream with hit singles “What’s My Age Again?”, “All the Small Things” and “Adam’s Song”. All gained a significant amount of airtime on radio and MTV. Enema of the State went on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide making it the band’s best-selling album to that point
Blink-182 officially announced their reunion while presenting at the 2009 Grammy Awards. The band’s Official Website confirmed the band’s reunion with the following statement :
“Hi. We’re blink-182. This past week there have been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, We’re back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy
