A Little Something New From Blink 182

Howdy everyone on Nimrod Street! Hope today was really great for you all, we've got some cool stuff to share.

Philadelphia Music site, TheExaminer.com has posted an article about punk rockers, Blink 182. The title of the article is, "Do We Still Care About Blink-182? I Feel The Answer Is Yes".

It starts off with the year 2005 and the band has finished its last album and world tour, bands like Fall Out Boy and The Killers are gaining more and more popularity. However, Blink has just announced its "indefinite hiatus."

It goes into the details of both guitarist, Tom Delonge and bassist, Mark Hoppus reason to call off the band, then starting their new side band projects. Delonge went to form space like rock band, Angles And Airwaves, Hoppus and former drummer, Travis Barker joined forces to make Plus 44. 

Exactly three years later Barker is in a plane crash during September 2008. He and a friend, DJ AM were the only survivors. Four other passengers were instantly killed. Thankfully, Travis and DJ AM were to fully recover within a year or less! Both Mark and Tom went to visit their friends in the hospital which sparked conversation between the two. This is when the media started buzzing with possible reunion rumors.

The guys made an appearance February 8th, 2009 when they announced on stage at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards they were officially back. From that day on, their website changed and it included a promise for Summer 2009 to tour world wide with a new album release. 

Since they have reunited, the guys are all over the media! The question still remains, do fans and other music lovers still care about Blink 182? It's totally obvious the music industry is on its toes and excited for summer. On his blog, Mark Hoppus posted a one liner message for fans to look out for changes on all the guys' sites, "keep your eyes open on the blink-182 sites in the next day or so for a little something new."

A few days later he also posted a You Tube video from a photo shoot with photographer, Estevan Oriol. It also included a little around their recording studio and a look at some of the instruments they've been using. 

Take a minute and a half out of your busy day to enjoy "a little something new" from Blink 182!
