About Blink-182/why they rock/ why you should check them out- You may have heard of Blink-182, but if you haven't, stop reading this blog, and go listen to them. Now. Blink-182 describes themselves as "crappy punk-rock". They hail from Southern California and are probably some of the only 37-year-olds that can get away with making jokes about farts and gay sex (with each other). They haven't sold many records- only about 20 (million). Blink-182 songs like "Dammit", "Anthem", "Anthem Part 2", and "Going Away To College" are pretty much the soundtrack to growing up. Blink-182 is classic pop-punk that kind of makes you want to jump around and sing along. On August 12th, they played in Hershey Park (Pennsylvania). Despite the fact that it was raining the whole time, it was possibly their best show ever. Thousands of people turned up to see them- not one left when Blink-182 got on stage. They played all of their most beloved hits, to which fans (including the author of this blog) screamed along. Blink-182 is possibly one of the greatest bands in the world; some day, they might, you know, have a platinum record, or go on a world tour. Oh wait...

Are you in a band, or do you know any awesome bands that you'd like to "nominate" to be in the 100 Bands Project? Comment here or send me an email at mollylh@live.com, with the band name, myspace/website link, band location (city and state/country, or if you'd prefer, a region- "Southern California", "New England", etc.), genre(s), what bands you think you sound like, band photo and member names (L to R, and what instrument they play), and anything else you think I should know about the band (if these things aren't available on the myspace). I'm open to solo artists, too. If I like your band, and I think other people will too, I will include you in the 100 Bands Project. Note- to be included in the 100 Bands Project, the band MUST be unsigned, there MUST be at least 3 original songs available for listening on Myspace or the band website, the band MUST currently be active (no broken-up/on hiatus/inactive bands, please), and all band members MUST be extremely good-looking. Just kidding about the last one, although it's a plus. ;)
