Have the songs recently had instrumentals leaked or anything? sounds surprisingly good but definitely run through some sort of filter in audacity or something, making vocals the noise profile. sounds watery and weird at portions, but definitely the best i've heard tbh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked out Letters to God and you can hear the vocals kinda cut in and out quickly at the start of the last chorus. Legit thought these were the real instrumentals because of how good they sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came out a couple of weeks ago, it's about punk rock/pop punk and major labels and there is a big chapter dedicated to blink in the book. I'm curious about what he has to say about them, I was thinking about getting the book and wondering if he reached out to either Mark or Tom for the chapter about blink. In that case, it would be even more interesting. Edit: if you don't know him, he co-wrote Laura Jane Grace's book ("Tranny") and he's been writing about punk rock/emo music for years online. I just finished this and loved it. The blink section is only 30 pages long but has some interesting tidbits that either I had forgotten or just a slightly more in-depth. but it does a good job at putting the perspective that going with MCA really was the better choice in terms of getting the band to break huge.... eventually. I wouldn't buy it if you're only getting it for blink as much of the info is just a rehash of the history of blink's formation and dealing with Scott (everything about Scott is from the absolutepunk interview or the more recent ones). Tom isn't interviewed but Rick D is. I get the vibe that Epitaph could of had blink if they really cared about them (they really didn't) and waited too long. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you loved it, then I'm sure I'd like it too. It sounds like a fascinating history of how all the turn-of-the-century punk/emo bands went mainstream. I'll definitely get a copy now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Kyle_ Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 I totally agree. Also The Donnas portion along with Distillers was great to read about. Stuff like this always fascinates me. I should probably read that book on The Replacements now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucko Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 I listened to Man Overboard today for the first time in ages. What a belter of a song.

Dylan_ Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 So in the last week Mark has said he is starting a band with the lead singer from Angels and Airwaves and the drummer from the Transplants. Tom posting and tagging blink. And now Skiba tags Tom in a post saying “welcome aboard”. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
