New album anticipated when blink-182 take another break. | News

Geffen — Wed, 18 Dec 2002 19:35:00 GMT

From VH1.com: Fear not, Box Car Racer fans. Although the group that features Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker rounded its final turn Tuesday in Detroit, they're committed to making another lap around the music track.

When the green

flag flies again, however, depends on how long it takes Blink-182's next album — which DeLonge, Barker and bassist Mark Hoppus plan to work on in January — to run its course.

"What I would like is to do an every-other-year type thing," DeLonge said. "But Blink definitely has priority, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens. You can't really schedule it, because Blink is at the top of the list of things to do."...

It's All About The Blink-Blink | News

Geffen — Fri, 22 Nov 2002 20:35:00 GMT

From LasVegasWeekly.com:On “I Feel So,” the opening song and first single off Boxcar Racer’s self-titled debut album, Tom DeLonge’s wish list is as long as a guitar neck. Among other things, the vocalist and guitarist yearns to be younger, more honest, smarter and in possession of the ability to cure “how people are.” Especially to cure how people are—himself included. At the time he was recording the song, back problems had left DeLonge in so much pain that he’d sing for five minutes and spend the next 20 minutes on the ground with his feet in the air. The pain, coupled with the painkillers he’d been on, did a real number on him. He was hurting, tired and depressed, all of which came through on the album.

“It sounds stupid because you wouldn’t think that I would really feel that way, knowing how I am with the other band,” DeLonge says. “But I really was, and I’m not even making it up to make me sound like a tortured artist...”

Make Your Own Music Video | News

Geffen — Tue, 15 Oct 2002 02:02:00 GMT

Call it a star search for hot young video directors, as MCA quartet Box Car Racer sponsors a contest inviting fans to make their own B.C.R. music video. The contest, which runs through November 8th, is open to all B.C.R. fans. The grand prize winner will be flown to a secret location to pick up a new digital video camera, awarded by the members of Box Car Racer themselves, Thomas DeLonge (vocals, guitar, songwriting), Travis Barker (drums, arrangements), David Kennedy (guitar), and Anthony Celestino (bass).

Contestants must choose any song off Box Car Racer's current self-titled MCA album, and create an original music video for it (it doesn't need to be as long as the entire song). Creativity and style count most, not technical mastery.

Submission forms are available by clicking on "Entry Form" at the band's website, boxcarracer.com. All videos will be reviewed personally by the band members. The top three submissions will be available for viewing on Boxcarracer.com.

Tom DeLonge of blink-182 is the driving force behind Box Car Racer, whose self-titled debut MCA album arrived in stores earlier this year. DeLonge wrote all the material, played lead guitar and bass, and sang on the album. Rounding out the band is blink-182 drummer Travis Barker (who also did arrangements for the album), and Dave Kennedy, from punk band, Over My Dead Body, on rhythm guitar. Jerry Finn, who has produced the last three blink-182 records (as well as CDs from Green Day, Sum-41, etc.) took the helm for Boxcar Racer.

Guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker, two-thirds of Blink, crafted this effervescent side project with rhythm guitarist Dave Kennedy and bassist Anthony Celestino. Blink singer Mark Hoppus joins his moonlighting bandmates on Elevator, further blurring the line between a full Blink and a winking Blink.

Slant Magazine Review | News

Geffen — Wed, 29 May 2002 08:00:00 GMT

From SlantMagazine.com: Ah, side projects: a rock star's oasis of songwriting freedom. Or, as Box Car Racer drummer Travis Barker explained to Rolling Stone, "I don't want to be in a side project to be popular. I just want to play music and have fun, so it probably won't be the most radio-friendly or commercial-friendly music." Excusing the disenchanting implication that creating radio-friendly/commercially-viable music isn't fun, Barker's comments are indicative of the advantages the "side project" offers. Liberated of many expectations (hit singles, massive record sales), musicians can now make music that doesn't follow sad formulas for success (you know, verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-chorus), or at least that's the hope...
