Un petit article sur ceux que j'écoute en continu depuis quelques jours : Blink 182.

La carrière de Blink-182 commence en 1991/1992 avec Mark Hoppus (chant/bass), Tom Delonge (chant/guitare) et Scott Raynor (Batterie) près de San Diego (Poway) où le trio se faisait nommé "El Cuarto And The Cajones" et jouait dans des petits bars et dans des fêtes de la musique traditionelle mexicaine (!). Au printemps 1998 Scott va les quitter et  sera remplacé par Travis Barker. Voilà pour le line-up.

Côté son, le groupe distille une musique de potaches, bande-son idéale de nos années lycées/ fac. Energie punk et mélodies pop sont leur marques de fabrique. Leurs clips sont de petits bijoux de l'humour étudiant US.

Le groupe a décidé de prendre une pause prolongé en 2005 sans toutefois parler de séparation définitive. Ils bossent tous trois sur divers side-projects : Tom dans Angels And Airwaves, Travis dans Plus 44 (avec Mark), The Transplants et Expensive Tastes.

Breakfast At Tiffany's

You'll say, we've got nothing in common,
No common ground to start from,
And we're falling apart,
You'll say, the world has come between us,
Our lives have come between us,
Still I know you just don't care.

And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'"
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it."
And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we've got."

I see you, the only one who knew me,
And now your eyes see through me,
I guess I was wrong,
So what now?  It's plain to see we're over,
And I hate when things are over,
When so much is left undone.

And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'"
She said, "I think I, remember that film,
And, as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it,"
And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we got."

You'll say, that we've got nothing in common,

Oooooo
