Blink 182 Vinyl Records
One of the most prominent bands to emerge from the Southern California punk scene, blink-182 gained mainstream success in the early 2000s. Arriving in the wake of the pop-punk explosion set off by Green Day, blink-182 gained a large fan base with their hooky, high-energy songs. At a time when competition with teen pop and nu-metal was not unheard of, they broke through with their third album, 1999's Enema of the State, releasing a steady stream of hits, bolstered by humorous, tongue-in-cheek music videos that were popular in the waning days of MTV's musical programming. Though the pop-punk trend faded, blink-182 have remained chart favourites, scoring five Top Ten albums and two number one Billboard 200 hits, including 2016's California.
