Box Car Racer
Biography
Serving as a side project for Blink 182 members Travis Barker and Thomas DeLonge, Boxcar Racer is a return to a more traditional punk sound. Adding guitarist David Kennedy and bassist Anthony Celestino, the group came together between Blink 182 sessions and recorded their eponymous album in the winter of 2001/2002. Cutting much of the pop from their usual sound and showing diverse influences like the Replacements and D.R.I., the band used it as a showcase for the material they wrote that wasn't Blink-friendly. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
Selected Discography
It's one of my favorite albums ever, I like it more than anything Blink-182 did. It's the seemlessly expert drumming of Travis and Tom's punk ingenuitey except infused with a sense of meaning.

I don't know... I havent heard much from this or the other band formed after Blink 182 split up, but what I have heard, doesn't compare to the Blink.
|
||
All of Mark, Tom and Travis' side projects are good. This takes me back to high school though. :)
|
||
i never knew they existed until 30 seconds ago but from what i hear they are pretty good
|
||
lol, it's like a not crappy +44...
not that they were bad, but... you know... |
||
Junior year all over again all those great memories. OMG I love them and Blink the same after all they are two out of the three. They did pretty well on their own. So kudos to them.

Rock your an idiot thats why they only had this one freaking CD right. eh its good i would jam but BLINK is still better

Roach--quit being an a**. My Box Car Racer CD should be totally worn out from playing it 24/7 back when it came out. It's still one of my favorite CDs to listen to when I'm roadtripping at night.

This band proves what a genius Tom and Travis are at making not only blink-182 punk rock material but also music with a darker overtone.
|
||

|
||

One of my favorite albums/artis t s from middle school, for those who have grew up with blink like me, this was a great change that Tom and Travis neeeeeeded to do. Mark was just holding them back..but I really wasn't expecting that Tom would end up doing something slower than this as he is now with angels and airwaves. This was Tom and Travis at their finest.
