Blink 182

Few bands have defined the pop punk genre quite like Blink-182. Formed in San Diego in the early 1990s, the trio built a massive following through catchy guitar riffs, irreverent humour, and an uncanny ability to capture the restless energy of youth. Albums like Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket turned them into global superstars, while later records showed a band willing to grow and experiment without losing what made them special.

Blink-182 have always had a devoted fanbase in Australia, and for good reason. Their songs feel personal in a way that few acts can match, tackling themes of growing up, relationships, and not quite fitting in with just enough humour to keep things from getting too heavy.
