Эта панковская команда была основана более 10 лет тому назад. Марк Хоппус (р. 15 марта 1972) и Том Делонг (р. 13 декабря 1975) познакомились еще осенью 1992 года. Вскоре парням стукнула в голову идея организовать свой проект и, пригласив к себе в компанию ударника Скотта Рэйнора и взяв себе название "Blink", они принялись выступать в клубах Сан-Диего. На одном из таких концертов ребята познакомились с музыкантами известной группы "The vandals", которые помогли "блинкам" пристроить свой первый альбом на лейбл "Kung Fu". Так что в 1994 году "Buddha" вышел в свет, правда, только на кассетах. На следующий год молодой командой заинтересовалась фирма "Cargo Records", предложившая ей выпустить один альбомчик.
"Cheshire Cat" особым успехом не пользовался, и группе пришлось зарабатывать популярность концертами. На этом этапе коллектив привлек внимание мажорной "MCA records", но когда дело дошло до контракта, то оказалось, что вывеска "Blink" уже используется одной ирландской командой.
Особо не заморачиваясь, парни прибавили к своему названию "182", и проблема была решена. В 1997-м на MCA вышел альбом "Dude Ranch", получивший "платину" в… Австралии. А в Северной Америке релиз оказался всего лишь "золотым". Зато песня "Dammit" получила постоянную прописку на штатовских FM-станциях и стала одной из самых заказываемых композиций. Популярность "Blink-182" начала стремительно расти, и на фестиваль "Warped Tour" группа получила приглашение в качестве хедлайнеров. Гастроли продолжались почти полгода, так что в свой родной Сан-Диего музыканты попали лишь в начале 1998-го.
На следующий год Скотт Рэйнор свалил из команды, решив продолжить свое обучение, а на его месте оказался барабанщик "Вандалов" Трэвис Баркер (р. 14 ноября 1975). В обновленном составе "Blink-182" под руководством продюсера Джерри Финна (" Green day", " Pennywise", "Rancid") отправились в студию.
Результатом трехмесячной работы стало появление очередного диска, "Enema of the State". Для обложки этой пластинки было использовано фото порнозвезды Джанин, а на песню "What's My Age Again?" был снят клип, в котором все три "блинка" рассекали по улице в чем мать родила. За другой видеоклип, "All The Small Things", группа получила награду "Best Group Video". В том же году команда приняла участие в съемках фильма "Американский пирог". В 2000-м вышел концертник "The Mark, Tom, Travis Show", составленный в основном из песен с предыдущих альбомов. На гастролях, во время которых записывалась эта пластинка, было продано свыше трех миллионов билетов. Сам же диск разошелся по всему миру тиражом более полутора миллионов экземпляров.
В 2001 на свет появился очередной альбом, записанный все с тем же Джерри Финном, "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket". Первым синглом с него стал "Rock show", прозвучавший также в саундтреке к фильму "Американский пирог 2". В том же году "Blink-182" получили звание "Best Rock Band" на церемонии "MTV Europe Music Awards".
