Blink-182 re-form for album and tour

Four years and a plane crash later, Blink-182 are back together.

The persistent, obnoxious and – let's admit it – hugely catchy punk-pop band announced their reunion at the 2009 Grammy awards, confirming the news on their official website. "To put it simply, we're back," they wrote. "We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some."

The band are recording a new album and hope to tour this summer.

Blink-182 split in 2005, 11 years into their recording career. In a YouTube video posted the next year, guitarist Tom DeLonge slammed his former bandmates, saying "I do not want to be in a bullshit pop band with some bullshit pop songs while you drive your fucking bullshit car and sing along to it like you're some 14 year-old girl."

He was fed up, it seemed, with persistent, obnoxious and giftedly catchy punk-pop songs.

Though the band-members' change of heart may have been brought on by many things, it was more than likely linked with Travis Barker's near-death experience last year. The tattooed drummer was one of two survivors in a South Carolina plane crash.

Speaking at the Grammys, Barker cast the reunion in simple terms. "We used to play music together, and we decided we're going to play music together again," he said.

punkaspoo · 02.10.2009, 08:24 AM

If they'd come to Finland I'd like to see them just because I used to be a big fan. Great memories with high school and Blink.

Screeching Weasel are good, though.

SuperCreep · 02.10.2009, 10:47 AM

This band is and always has been so inconceivably shitty. I fail to see the reason for excitement, even for nostalgic reasons.

music elitists getting all whiny about this band getting back together and making sure we all know that they're familiar with the roots of a genre they seem to hate makes me giggle.

Keep up the great work, oh defenders of good music.
