Blink-182 is one of the bands headlining the Bamboozle festival this year. But, if you can't make it to Asbury Park, NJ for the festival from May 18-20, they've scheduled a few dates in May surrounding their appearance at Bamboozle.
Blink is playing five dates along the east coast and in Canada and you can see those dates down below. Ticket information hasn't been released yet.

Monday, December 12th, 2011
Hey New Jersey people. What are you doing next May? Might I suggest you pile your hair high, put on your best leopard print outfit and drive down to Asbury Park in your 1957 Chevy because you got a festival to see, ya fuckin' scumbag.

It's just been confirmed by the Asbury Park Press (via CoS)… Read More

Watch: Blink-182 perform “Up All Night” and “After Midnight” on Kimmel

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

Even though the RiO!B's review of Blink-182's new album, Neighborhoods, put it squarely in the middle of "Not great but not bad," the band live always gets a thumbs up.
The band ripped through their new songs, "Up All Night" and "After Midnight," on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (via The Audio Perv) last night and, yes, I'm still not a fan of Tom DeLonge's voice. Even more so after hearing it… Read More

Review: Blink-182 – Neighborhoods

Saturday, October 1st, 2011

On today's episode of the Rock it Out! Blog, I review the new Blink-182 album, Neighborhoods.
Ultimately, this album won't be considered one of the band's classics. Older Blink-182 fans will use this album to try and remember their younger days of listening to the band while younger fans may use this album to create new memories they'll be nostalgic for later on in life.
What are your thoughts on the album? Are you a fan of Neighborhoods or not? Read More

Watch: Blink-182 – “Hearts All Gone”

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

From one of the better tracks off of Blink-182's Neighborhoods comes a music video capturing the live element of the band. Check out the clip for "Hearts All Gone" up top and watch Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker and Tom DeLonge rip through the track in front of thousands of screaming admirers on the Honda Civic tour.
I'm so glad Hoppus sings on this track because his voice is one that should be heard waaaay more often on the album. I'll be releasing my review of the album this coming Saturday so be on… Read More

Listen: Blink-182 – “After Midnight”

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

I know you guys love your Blink-182 and the fact that their new album, Neighborhoods, is out on September 27th. Which is why I'm happy to hook you guys up with another new track from the album called "After Midnight" which is classic Blink. Lyrics about walking around with a girl in some type of stupor? Check. A kickass drum pattern? Check. Tom DeLonge's nasal singing counter-balanced by Mark Hoppus's much soother tone? Double check.
Check out the track… Read More
