Blink-182

From WikiHero

Blink-182 is an American poppy punk band formed in 1992 in Poway, CA, whose period of greatest commercial success was the late 90s and early 2000s. The band members disbanded in 2005, but returned after a four-year hiatus.

The band formed initially only as "Blink", but after threat of legal action from an Irish pop band with the same name, the "182" was added, after the number of times Al Pacino's character Tony Montana pronounces the word "fuck" in the 1982 film Scarface.
