Pop-punk band Blink 182 have confirmed rumors of a reunion, much to the joy of fans the world over. It seems that drummer Travis Barker’s horrific plane crash in September, 2008, has been enough to help front-man Tom Delonge get over the God complex that caused the band to go on “indefinite hiatus” in 2005.
The announcement sparked a sigh of relief from die-hard fans, who previously held little hope of the band getting back together. This was partly due to the lyrics “No It Isn’t” by +44-- Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker’s new band. They made their feelings towards Delonge clear with the lines “This isn’t just goodbye/ this is I can’t stand you”.
Tom Delonge also had fans scratching their heads as he attempted to shed his light-hearted and slightly immature image. The singer/ guitarist made claims that his new band, Angels and Airwaves, would bring about a musical revolution.
It seems that thankfully the band has put this all behind them now. All it took was a near death experience.
Fans of punk band Jawbreaker are keeping their fingers firmly crossed for a reunion, which has been rumored since early 2008, when the band admitted they had played together during the filming of a documentary. The reunion would be a dream come true for Jawbreaker’s fans, who have been waiting since the band broke up in 1996.
For now, however, former singer Blake Schwarzenbach has fans excited touring with his new band, Thorns of Life, who formed in October 2008.
