We all felt like music would be the most significant part of our lives, but never in our wildest dreams could we have predicted the things we’d get to do, or more importantly, the people we would meet because of this band and the songs we wrote and shared with the world.

In an interview with Radio One, Blink-182’s Tom Delonge spoke about why Blink-182 went on hiatus in 2005.
He said:
“The band got so big that the machine running the band took over. We were burnt out, we needed a break, but the machine won’t let you do that. The band had stopped communicating because the machine was so big.”
He also talked about Blink’s heavily anticipated new album, ‘Neighborhoods’:
“The album’s amazing. If you like our music, it’s our best work by far. It’s very modern, very relevant to rock music today, but we made sure to throw a couple of songs in there that sound like they’re from the mid 90s. It’s gigantic, it’s made for big places.”
