    blink-182 brings three new tracks this week to Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero. The trio, formed in 1992, achieved critical acclaim when their breakthrough album, Enema of the State, was released in 1999. With lyrics ranging from hilarious to heartfelt and their catchy, energetic and melodic sounds, blink-182 paved the way for the era of pop-punk music.

    The blink -182 Track Pack features “All The Small Things” and “Adam’s Song” from their 1999 album Enema of the State, and “First Date,” from the band’s 2001 album, Take Off Your Pants & Jacket.

    The blink -182 Track Pack will be available via Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 440 Microsoft Points, on the PlayStation Store for $5.49 and the Wii Shop Channel for 550 Wii Points. The three songs will also be available as single downloads for Xbox 360 for 160 Microsoft Points, PlayStation 3 for $1.99 and Wii for 200 Wii Points each.

    l_36465dc51b3c4fe785e577a5ed035b44… the following immortal words were spoken by Travis Barker at the Grammys…

    We used to play music together, and we decided we’re going to play music together again

    Those uttered words made my year, if not decade.

    A big thanks to Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker & Tom Delonge for getting it back together ‘for the kids’, to the blink fans who have been super nice to us here on blink182.co.uk (best fans EVER) and a big shout out to our South American friends and HNDSM*RNDSM – the guys behind the Blinkumentary.

    Can’t wait for Summer 2010 (European Tour) and let’s just see what happens single and album wise. Should be ace.

    Let’s continue supporting the band in every way we can – legal downloads, buying merchandise, seeing them at gigs – tweeting the funk out of them on Twitter. Just, keep the fuck away from piracy.

    Lastly, but not least – thanks to the peeps who help me out with this site & the Twitter account; Katrina (Ink182.com) & WTFItsCiaran.

    As for this site – lots in the pipe line, stay frosty.

    Handsome Randsome are back on it with a new Blinkumentary trailer for us, the first of what I’m sure will be quite a few more to come throughout 2010 (They’ll still be recording on the European Summer Tour).

    Watch the video below where Tom Delonge takes a retrospective look back at the Summer 2009 tour and looking forward to what you can expect from the guys musically,

    No ones expecting it to be a straight forward rock record and I think everyone expects it to be the work of our life and probably the most ambitious song writing and art we’ve ever made and I think now that we’re ready for it” ~ Tom Delonge.

    Also, if you missed out on our original interview with the guys behind the Blinkumentary (Handsome Randsome) which we had the pleasure of conducting late last year, then check it our here!

    How AWESOME? :)

    UPDATE: And if that wasn’t enough for us, Gillette are also releasing a backstage documentary on ‘rock stars’.

    Lyrics to Hallucinations by Angels & Airwaves:

    And you look real close cross the lines and the roads
    It is there to decode what you thought was a ghost or a spark to explode
    It’s the start of the show
    It’s the part you love the most where your heart will implode within.

    Do you believe in hallucinations
    Silly dreams or imagination
    Don’t go away ’cause I feel you this time
    Don’t go away ’cause I need you there this time. Read More | Comments

    Spend a Day in the Studio with Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus, to Produce a Track for your Band!

    How? Simply start bidding on the charity auction, here.

    This auction is in aid of THE CHI LING CHENG SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST.

    On November 2nd, 2008 Deftones’ bass player and brother Chi Ling Cheng was involved in a horrific car accident which has left him in a semi-conscious state.

    In his journey to recovery, the Cheng family has accumulated an overwhelming amount of medical bills that insurance does not entirely cover.

    As a result, it is Deftones’ mission to raise substantial funds to help ensure Chi’s recovery. To help achieve this goal, the band will be playing two benefit shows in November 2009 at the Avalon in Hollywood, CA. Additionally, for supporters unable to make these shows, Deftones has also launched this online auction to make available another opportunity for fans and friends worldwide to make a donation to the Trust.

    All net proceeds will go to the Chi Ling Cheng Special Needs Trust that has been set up by the Cheng family to help pay for the growing medical costs required for Chi’s survival and recovery.

    Deftones have the best fans in the world and Chi values every single one of them greatly. Please continue to show your unwavering support by helping with this very important cause.
