What do you do if you’re a member of one of the most popular rock bands in recent memory? Well, if you’re Tom DeLonge, frontman of SoCal punkers Blink-182, you start another band.

The music isn’t that far off from what Blink has been recording, save for the complete lack of toilet humour. Think of Blink-182 meets some sensitive kids on the street (say The Get-Up Kids) and perhaps this is the result. Sure, there are heavier moments, but they usually last a few bars before the crappy acoustic guitars kick in again.
