Some popular movies incorporate music from popular artists. Think back to the 1999 popular teenage film American Pie, the 1998 Can’t Hardly Wait film or even the bubble gum 2006 gymnastics movie Stick It. These popular comedy movies  incorporated songs frm artists such as Blink 182, Sugar Ray and Fat Boy Slim. These movies immortalized songs such as Anthem Part Two and Rockafeller Skank, becoming cornerstones in the teenage music scene.

There are tons of other popular movies that incorporate songs from bands like Blink 182, think back to those other movies like Spider-Man that had music from the band Sum41, who have suddenly vanished from the music scene for now.Or even the band New Found Glory, who was also featured in the American Pie series soundtrack, specifically American Wedding.

These bands present songs of rebellion in a fun upbeat manner, incorporating themes of taking down corporate leaders and politicans. It is pretty interesting the subject manner these bands have incorporated into their songs and the scenes they are used in. For instance in the film Stick It, the Blink 182 song Anthem Part Two is played during a scene in which the gymnasts fight against the judging system that is placed and implemented against these gymnasts who strive for perfection. It is fitting being that after the first gymnast successfully alnds one of the harder tricks gets docked points for something so meaningless the rest decide to stop such unfair judging by sticking it to the judges.

American Pie, a popular comedy with some many teenagers with the awkwardness that follows us through those crucial social years and how to deal with them, sort of. Or even the struggles of graduating high school and all the implications that follow such a monumental moment. By incorporating such teenager like angst songs they get the point across and help explain the typical 90s teenager in all of us.

So besides your typical rebellion angsty teenager songs Blink 182 has had other successful songs think back to I miss you, that is a great song it even incorporates a film reference, specifically The Nightmare Before Christmas. The other love-like song that Blink 182 is known for First Date, used in a lot of movies to explain the anxiousness that exists in  with the first date of any teenager. All in all Blink 182 has some popular songs that go with popular movies making them even better.

So we all remember back in 2005 how the really rumors started up. “Blink 182 is splitting up!” And the skeptics among us all knew that they really weren’t. Those same skeptics laughed at themselves when they really did split up but were sure they would join back up really soon. Well the skeptics were right, five years, a plane crash, and two bands later.

Blink 182 split up in 2005 and four years later, in 2009, joined back up, but not after forming two successful bands, +44 and Angels and Airwaves. Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker started up +44 while Tom DeLonge started up Angels and Airwaves.

While both bands were widely popular due to Blink 182’s reformation +44 has gone on hiatus. Mark Hoppus has commented that the band might get back together but that he is focusing on Blink 182 at the moment. The band’s first album When Your Heart Stops Beating reached the number ten position on the US charts. A sophomore album was in production but was delayed due to funding issues with their record company.

Angels and Airwaves, however, is still continuing to record music and has a record due out on Valentines Day 2010 titled LOVE. This will be the band’s third album after both of their last albums reached the single digits on the Billboard Top 200.

Tom Delonge has stated that Angels and Airwaves will not be going anywhere and will continue to record music and perform even with Blink 182’s reformation.

The reasons behind the split have been accredited to Tom DeLonge’s desire to spend more time with his family and overall tensions between the band members. Blink 182 disbanded when the band’s manager called Hoppus and Barker to tell them that DeLonge had quit the band.

In 2008 the band marred with tragedy when the Lear Jet that Travis Barker was aboard crashed shortly after take off, killing four people. Barker and DJ AM were the only survivors of the crash. Barker suffered from second and third degree burns on his lower body and torso. He was able to return the studio two months after the crash and made a full recovery.

Blink 182 started a tour in July 2009 and ended it in October. The band is set to start recording a new album this month and are negotiating release dates with their label, Interscope. A 2011 album release is tentatively planned. They also have a European tour kicking off this summer.
