Following the album announcement and mini-doc release earlier this week, Blink have traced their history in the heartfelt ‘One More Time’ video.
It’s impossible to overstate the impact that Blink 182 had on a generation of groms in the late ’90s and early 2000s. They were topping the charts, performing in stadiums all over the world, people were getting their lyrics tattooed all over their bodies, and the Vans-Hurle-Famous-Dickies combos were inescapable. In their new single ‘One More Time’, however, they’re examining the impact they had on each other and openly wallowing in their own nostalgia.
“Strangers, from strangers into brothers / From brothers into strangers once again / We saw the whole world, but I couldn’t see the meanin’ / I couldn’t even recognize my friends,” Tom DeLonge sings in the opening, before Mark joins in with “I wish they told us / It shouldn’t take a sickness / Or aeroplanes falling from the sky,” referencing the band’s reforming.
The video sees the band, via a green screen, transported back to sets from their iconic singles (too many to mention), with Travis even joining in with a vocal of his own, marking the crowning re-unification of the trio:

The track also comes with a more angsty single ‘More Than You Know’ that feels like a mixture of late-era Blink with the undeniable DeLonge Boxcar Racer stylings. Listen below and check out their vinyl drop as well:
