blink 182

With the release of their ninth studio album One More Time... blink-182 has continued their legacy as one of the most influential and innovative punk rock bands of the 21st century. Formed in Poway, California in 1992, the band is best known for and currently features Mark Hoppus (bass, vocals), Tom DeLonge (guitar, vocals), and Travis Barker (drums). The 19-track album, followed by a deluxe edition one year later, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. A Rolling Stone review writes, “The songs on One More Time are steeped in the sharp perspective of grown-ups who have gone through some shit and wonder how the hell they got where they are.” The track that shares the album’s name won Alternative Song of the Year at the iHeart Music Awards in 2024. No strangers to topping the charts, the band first achieved commercial success through their third studio album Enema of the State featuring hits such as “What’s My Age Again?,” “All The Small Things,” and “Adam’s Song.” Themes of relationships, suburbia, and teen angst are explored throughout the group’s discography accompanied by trademark, genre-bending melodies. The band received Billboard Music Awards nominations, an MTV Music Video Award for Best Group Video, and California Music Award nominations for the album and its singles. Additionally, the band received a GRAMMY® award nomination for their seventh studio album California in 2017 and a BRIT Billion Award in 2024 for achieving a total of one billion UK streams. To date, Blink-182 has received over nine billion streams on Spotify and has sold 50 million albums worldwide, proving the band’s unparalleled ability to bring Southern California skate punk culture to a global audience.
