Blink-182 Releases Their Latest Single Ahead Of Their Global Tour

Blink-182 started in 1992 when Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Scott Raynor began playing together in Delonge’s garage. In 1995, the band released their first album with Cargo Records, a local independent. 

After the release of their second album, Dude Ranch, DeLonge and Hoppus fired Raynor. Raynor had begun drinking heavily in response to some personal issues he was having. Travis Barker filled in for Raynor during blink-182’s upcoming tour. Barker was drummer for The Aquabats who were touring with the band. In July 1998, Barker became a full-time member.   

For the next 17 years, the line up stayed the same. But in 2015, DeLonge left the group. In 2019, Barker shared with Joe Rogan that DeLonge had left to pursue his passion for UFOs and his company To The Stars... Academy Of Arts & Sciences. 

After he left, blink-182 released 2 more albums with Matt Skiba on vocals.
