In 1992 three guys from San Diego, Ca started an punk rock band.  These guys were Mark Hoppus (bass, vocals), Tom Delonge (guitar, vocals), and Scott Raynor (Drums).  In 1995, Blink 182 released their first full album, Cheshire Cat.  Two years after Cheshire Cat was released, the band recorded another album, Dude Ranch.  Dude Ranch had more success than Blinks first CD.  Right after the release of Dude Ranch, Scott (drummer) quit the band to go back to college.  Scott was quickly replaced by Travis Barker, who has been the drummer for the band ever since.

 

 

 

 

After touring for months, at the end of 1998, Blink went back into the studio to record their next album, Enema of The State.  Enema of The State exploded, and went platinum.  The three singles that made Enema of The State so big were "What's My Age Again," "All the Small Things," and "Adam's Song."  During the summer tour (summer 2000) for Enema of The State, Blink 182 recorded a live album, The Mark, Tom and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back).  It included 20 live tracks, a new studio track, and hilarious on stage jokes.  

 

 In June 2001 Blink record their 5th album, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.  Since then they have been on tour twice.  The second tour was called The Pop Disaster Tour, with the band Green Day.
In January of 2003 Blink 182 went back into the studio for their 6th album.  According to Tom Delonge, the new album has a different sound than the previous five albums, but will be loved by Blink 182s true fans.  It is due out in September 2003.  Until then, Blink fans can get a new DVD/VHS that the boys of Blink made, called Riding in Vans With Boys.  That is due to be released in June 2003.
