Mark Hoppus

Blink-182 is a popular American punk rock band. The band was founded by Tom DeLonge (guitarist, vocalist), Mark Hoppus (bass guitarist, vocalist) and Scott Raynor (drummer). The American punk rock band gained recognition for their humorous and optimistic tracks set to music with an unobtrusive melody. Each album of the band is worthy of attention. The musicians' records have their own original and genuine zest. Every Blink-182 compilation contains legendary hits that will always be popular. The history of the legendary band Blink-182 goes back to the distant 1990s. Interestingly, the musicians initially promoted their material under the pseudonym Duck Tape. The performers were later named Blink. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v9Ht5RZpzPqw Цифры 182 в названии группы появились немного позже. In 1994, after the release of their debut album, the Irish band of the same name began threatening the musicians to change their name. I had to think about changing my creative pseudonym. The number "182" was chosen completely at random and had no meaning. The band's frontman was Tom DeLonge. He had his own school story. Tom failed to finish school. He was expelled from the educational institution for drinking alcohol. The parents transferred their son to another school, where he met Anne Hoppus. A little later, the girl introduced Tom to her brother, Mark Hoppus. Mark and Tom really wanted to form their own rock band. They were soon joined by another musician, drummer Scott Raynor, who was only 14 years old at the time. The group performed with this line-up until 1998. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vs1tAYmMjLdY Когда музыканты только начали обретать первых поклонников, у них возникла первая неприятность. Due to his addiction to alcohol, the band's drummer, Raynor, was forced to leave the group. The remaining participants explained the drummer's departure by his desire to get an education. During this period of time, the group actively toured the United States of America. The musicians could not remain without a drummer, as the sound quality had deteriorated significantly. After some discussion, the musicians accepted Travis Barker to replace Scott. Previously, the musician played in the American band The Aquabats. Barker joined the new band without any major problems and quickly became a hit with the public. Tom DeLonge's departure The band achieved superstar status in a short time. Despite this, the musicians were nowhere to be seen in 2005. The reason was Tom's decision. The musician decided to take a time out because he wanted to spend more time with his family. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vK7l5ZeVVoCA Том сказал о том, что берёт перерыв максимум на полгода. However, as it turned out later, the musician refused to record new compositions and go on stage. The rest of the soloists were subdued. The musicians regarded Tom's actions as manipulation. Hoppus soon learned that DeLong had quit. He reported this to the manager, but the rest of the soloists were kept in the dark. But later the guys found out the truth. The remaining musicians made a difficult decision: each of them took up a solo project. In 2009, to the surprise of fans, the band Blink-182 reunited in full force. The musicians have updated their repertoire and logo. After this event, a new stage in the history of the rock group began. This time Delong lasted exactly 6 years. In 2015, the musician again announced that he wanted to leave the group. This time the musicians did not try to dissuade Tom and soon found a replacement for him. He was replaced by Matt Skiba. Music of the group Blink-182 The band entered the music arena with their debut album, which was called Flyswatter. To be more precise, it was not a full-length album, but a demo tape that the musicians recorded on a tape recorder in the drummer’s bedroom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v2MRdtXWcgIw Результат был неидеальным. The sound quality was poor. Nevertheless, the musicians released 50 copies, which were distributed among fans of heavy music. The first performance of the band Blink-182 has not yet delighted the audience. At that time, the band's musicians had not yet reached adulthood. The guys were still allowed to perform at a local bar on the condition that they leave the stage immediately after the concert. Only 50 spectators attended the young musicians' concert. "Gloomy and dull," Tom commented. But the guys still performed. Later, another cassette with recordings of the group was released, which also turned out to be a “failure”. The band Cheshire Cat's full album was released only in 1994. The musical compositions were recorded at Grilled Cheese Records studio. The musicians transferred most of the tracks from the second cassette. Blink-182 (Блинк-182): Biography of the band Gradually, the musicians gained fans. But most importantly, influential producers paid attention to the promising group. Soon, the group Blink-182 made a lucrative offer of cooperation. In 1996, the group signed a contract with the recording company MCA. The company was later renamed Geffen Records. In 1997, the band's discography was expanded with their second studio album, Dude Ranch, produced by Mark Trombino. The album hit the very hearts of music lovers. Several songs reached top positions on the American music charts. The musicians approached the release of the new album responsibly. The album was worked on for two years. However, for the release of the new album, the guys decided to change the producer. The musicians began collaborating with Jerry Finn, who had previously worked with the bands MxPx and Rancid. It was the aforementioned producer who took over the further repertoire of the group Blink-182. Soon fans saw the third studio album, Enema of the State, which was released in 1999 and enjoyed great popularity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vCvtJVku_mJw Главными изюминками третьего альбома стали музыкальные композиции All the Small Things, Adam’s Song и What’s My Age Again. The musicians recorded a video for their final track, which shocked viewers with its appearance—in the video, the band's lead singers ran down the street completely naked. The new album Take off Your Pants and Jacket was released in 2001. The album was recorded in the best traditions of the group Blink-182. This is one of the most worthy works of the team. In support of the new collection, the musicians went on a European tour, but it soon had to be cancelled. The September terrorist attacks are to blame for everything. A year later, Blink-182, along with other rock bands, embarked on the Pop Disaster tour, in preparation for which DeLonge began creating a solo project. Over time, more material accumulated, and DeLonge invited his drummer Barker and guitarist David Kennedy to join the project.

At the end of 2003, the musicians went on a major tour. The highlight of the band's concerts was the affordable price of tickets. The self-titled compilation became the best-selling album in the discography of the group Blink-182. Over the next six years, more than 5 million copies of the Blink-182 compilation were sold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v4kMZ23T9VHE Затем коллектив собрался «золотым составом» только через четыре года. At the same time, the musicians presented a new video, First Date. The band announced the release of a new album already in 2010. However, the musicians were unable to meet the deadline, and the album Neighborhoods was released only in 2011. In 2012, the band Blink-182 went on a major European tour. After the release of the new album, fans were waiting in anticipation for new tracks. However, the "fans" had to be patient. The recording of new musical compositions had to be postponed. This was due to the replacement of the vocalist and guitarist in one person. Only in 2016 the band’s discography was expanded with a new album, California. As per tradition, the musicians went on tour and began recording a new album. The Blink-182 group today The group continues to record new musical compositions.

The musicians did not let their fans down, and in September they presented a “dark” album, which was called Nine. The album was produced by John Feldmann and Tim Pagnotta, along with Captain Cuts and Futuristics. The cover of the collection was decorated with a “picture” by the artist RISK. Most of the music on the collection was influenced by events happening in the world and Mark Hoppus's depression.
