revisiting BOX CAR RACER's entire discography (but it's only one album) || ⸸ CAME GANG ⸸
the came has returned* in Rafiki voice from the og lion king
the gang is back to continue through the Tom Delonge and Travis Barker extended universe that began in the blink-182 episode. People don't realize how much the jump from blink's Take Off Your Pants and Jacket record to their beloved untitled album that followed actually makes complete sense as long as you listen to the s/t album from Box Car Racer that released in 2002.
BCR was a side project that Tom started with the intention of proving to himself that he could wright songs on his own without relying on the rest of blink. he forgot shortly after and got Travis to play drums just because he was the best drummer Tom had ever played with. so really, he just wanted to tell Mark to cuss of and not sing with him on an album. but then he forgot again and had Mark featured on one of the songs on the s/t record.
shortly after he realized the project was a failure, kicked out Travis and changed the name to Angels and Airwaves because his daughters name is AVA or something.

Box Car Racer was an American Alt-punk band formed in San Diego, California, in 2001. The band was a side-project of Blink-182 members Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker, with David Kennedy of Hazen Street completing the band's studio lineup. A bassist and friend of Barker, Anthony Celestino later joined the band as a bassist. DeLonge created the project to pursue darker ideas he felt unsuited to his work with Blink-182.
The group recorded the band's eponymous debut, Box Car Racer, in quick fashion with a more DIY spirit. MCA Records issued the band's lone release in May 2002, which peaked on the Billboard 200 at number 12. Singles "I Feel So" and "There Is" also charted on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, with the former peaking at number eight. The band embarked on their sole headlining tour across North America in the fall of 2002 with supporting act The Used.
The project was largely the cause of ongoing tension between DeLonge and Blink-182 bandmate Mark Hoppus and influenced the band's following studio album, the more experimental Untitled aka Blink-182 (2003). DeLonge ended the project in mid-2003, considering it to have served its purpose; however, DeLonge's later band, Angels & Airwaves (which also features Kennedy), has been described by DeLonge as a continuation of Box Car Racer. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_Car_Racer
