Blink-182 Bio
There are two faces to blink-182. On the one hand, the band is known for their catchy melodies, meteoric tempos, and outrageous "dick jokes", while on the other, they came to define themselves as progressive, experimental, and ultimately, hugely influential within the music industry.
Starting Out
Formed as Duck Tape in 1992, the early appeal of this simple three-piece – consisting of Tom DeLonge on vocals and guitar, Mark Hoppus on bass and vocals, and Scott Raynor on drums – lay in their self-deprecating accessibility to their adolescent peers. Their up-tempo, sunny songs, combining late punk era characteristics with pop and skate rock elements, weaved themes of rebellion, lust, and teenage frustration, as well as pop-cultural references, into light-hearted and irresistibly resonant wisecracks.
The trio had met through connections at Rancho Bernardo High School, the school Tom DeLonge was sent to following his expulsion from Poway High for being drunk. They bonded over a shared love of punk rock bands the Descendents, Bad Religion, Pennywise, a

Blink-182
American rock band
For the band's 2003 album, see Blink-182 (album).
Blink-182[a] is an American rock band formed in Poway, California, in 1992. Their current and best-known line-up consists of bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Travis Barker. Though their sound has diversified throughout their career, their musical style, described as pop-punk, blends catchy pop melodies with fast-paced punk rock. Their lyrics primarily focus on relationships, adolescent frustration, and maturity—or lack thereof. The group emerged from a suburban, Southern California skate punk scene and first gained notoriety for high-energy live shows and irreverent humor.
The band's debut studio album, Cheshire Cat, was released in 1995. Their second studio album, Dude Ranch, came out in 1997. After years of independent recording and touring, including stints on the Warped Tour, the group signed to MCA Records. Their third and fourth albums—Enema of the State (1999) and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001)—reached their furt
