One of the biggest stories in the world of music this week was the much awaited announcement of Blink 182's reformation after a 4 year hiatus. With Travis Barker simply announcing '"we used to play music together, and we decided we're going to play music together again" the pop punk world reverted back to their 14 year old selves in a whirlwind of nostalgia and teenage admiration. As well as reforming a world tour has also been scehduled for the summer of 2009; which I feel will be intersting since Travis quite farily claimed that he was never flying again following his near fatal plane crash in the summer.Despite feeling excited at the thought of seeing Blink live for the first time, I can't help but feel that they are flogging a dead horse and trying to make up for Angels and Airwaves and +44. Will it really be the same now that all 3 members have grown up and have children of their own?
I guess we'll just have to wait and see but I really hope it works out for them becasue they were simply amazing in their heyday.
PS - In other news Limp Bizkit have also announced that they are reforming but the less said about that the better...
