Everything old is new again. Grown-ass people are playing Pokémon Go and listening to new songs from Blink-182. People are so jazzed on the pop-punk band’s reunion, listeners bumped Drake from the top spot of the Billboard chart. They may be coming at us sans Tom DeLonge, but fans don’t seem to mind. This country’s got a 182 fever, and the only thing that’ll cure it is more Blink.
Rock bands can’t churn out music as fast as dance music producers, but producers can upload Blink stems to their laptops and make studio magic. If you find yourself suffering from a Blink 182 song deficiency, we suggest pressing play on these remixes. Hey, it’s something.
