Description

Vinyl LP pressing to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the band s first and only side project album. Essentially seen as a side project from Blink 182 members Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker with David Kennedy (guitarist of Angels & Airwaves) completing the band s studio lineup. The record was the only studio effort the band produced together. They recorded the eponymous debut, Box Car Racer, in quick fashion with a more DIY spirit. Box Car Racer created unresolved tension within Blink-182 and inevitably influenced the band s following studio album, the more experimental Blink-182 (2003). DeLonge ended the project in mid-2003, considering it to have served it s purpose; however, DeLonge s later band, Angels & Airwaves (which also featured Kennedy) has been described by DeLonge as a continuation of Box Car Racer. – Geffen
