IGN: Travis mentioned in 10 great punk drummers' list

February 18, 2009 in News by John

Although he’s become a reality show star and tabloid target in the last few years, that doesn’t mean Travis Barker still isn’t one of the greatest drummers the punk world has yet to birth. In the span of a 3-minute pop/punk song, he’ll rock as hard as a death metal drummer in one section while flipping it over to a jazz styled backbeat the next. His fluidity knows no boundaries. It’s no wonder he looks up to forward-thinking musicians like Stewart Copeland (The Police) for inspiration. If you really want to hear Barker let loose, seek out Blink-182′s The Mark, Tom and Travis Show. On the disc it’s almost like someone told the guy he had one night left to play before he died; it’s that relentless.

Or read it directly on IGN, here.

blink-182 is back. And so are we.

February 10, 2009 in News by John

Hello there.

It’s been a while. Everyone went through a lot. Travis and DJ Am almost left us forever, Tom said a lot of bad things about his friends and I guess Mark was so confused he decided not to talk about anything.

And yesterday it happened.

On the 51st Grammy Awards ceremony the three stepped out on stage and Mark said:

Isn’t it great to see the Jonas brothers and Stevie Wonder back together again?

And then Travis said what everybody wanted to hear:

We used to play music together and we decided we’re gonna play music together again. blink-182 is back!

No comments needed.

Since the guys are back, so are we. We hope you didn’t forget about blink-182 nor punk-182. We’ve been around for couple of years and we won’t stop.

And if you dont’t believe us – just go to blink182.com and see for yourself. They indeed are recording a new album.

Let’s rock again!
