blink is back

It's a bit embarrassing to admit this but the announcement last night at the 2009 Grammy Awards that Blink 182 will be back in action made turning the tv on worthwhile.

The trio is easily the kind of obnoxious musical talent the entertainment world has been missing since they parted ways in December of 2004. But now they're back and I'm positive that whatever the band has in store for its' audience, it'll be loud ridiculous and certain to make everyone laugh.

It's not enough that Blink actually has some talent backing up their musical stylings, but what's better is simply being able to listen to Tom DeLonge (the lead singer, far right) scream out his "bremo" style lyrics. In case you haven't been educated about what it is that bremo actually means, let me enlighten you. Bremo is what I like to refer to as a cross between what some California skater dude wishes was his British accent crossed with that emo miserable whiny voice that sings along to Fall Out Boy songs. It's often characterized by the over pronunciation of vowels in each word (for a perfect example listen to "All the Small Things" or Angels & Airwaves "The Adventure"). Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan, but this genre of singing makes everyone's ears bleed and is sure to make you laugh. I guess the attraction is in the humor, and DeLonge is certain to deliver as he is one of the early artists that helped coin this kind of style.

Blink 182's new album is rumored to drop this summer which means it's entirely possible that they hit up the summer music festival scene. So let's cross our fingers that they make it to the likes of Bonnaroo and round off what's shaping up to be an incredible line up.
