With you the Pop Punk's guys:

X-Ray Band

Music Style: Pop Punk

Number of Members: 3

In the 90s decade three boys formed one band to play their songs. With funny lyrics and easy melodies the band became one of the bigger bands of the decade. Their clips with parodies about age’s boy bands won uncountable fans around the world. With a funny way the Blink 182 wrote him name in the modern rock history.

The band formed currently for Mark Hoppus (bass guitarrist and vocal), Matt Skiba (guitarrist and vocal) and Travis Barker (drums) has kept alive all her force even with some changes in the songs stile. With lyrics deeper sentimentally than career start, but brilliant, the Blink 182 shows song after song that 23 years not killed his potential.

Slowly during all these years the group knew to win fans, Always with All the Small Things that a big band can offer in a First Date during The Rock Show leaving only one phrase in the air: I Miss You.

Bellow we have three curiosities about the funny Blink 182:

- The Emblematic Number: the band during many interviews already answered about the number in his name, telling stories like: the number is the total of times that Al Paccino says ‘fuck’ in Scarface film and this number is the ideal weight of one member’s band. The truth is that the number isn`t anything, only a number which the member’s band liked.

- Attractive Nurse: the third band’s album called Enema of the States (1999) has in its album cover an attractive nurse. The band intention was really draw the attention to the nurse so they invited the porn actress Janine Lindemulder for the photo. The album’s name Enema of the State is a pun with the phrase Enemy of the State.

- Best Drummer: the drummer Travis Barker was elected five times as the best drummer in five magazines. The MTV magazine elected Travis as the best age drummer.
