Flyswater - Blink 182

Let's face it. You - and everybody else, for that matter, have no doubt got a veritable archive of embarrassing memories from your childhood. I have too, y'know. I never went down the "Eating worms/mud/spiders" route as a little 'un, no. I was far too introverted as a child to even consider that, actually.

Apart from finding the 1 of 30 flyswatter tapes in the world you used to be able to download it on the internet on. ...  Read the complete review

so when blink 182 first hit the scene in 1992 they where actualy just called "blink" until some irish sole band tryed to take them to court over it so they chaned there name to "blink 182" the 182 were just random numbers dispite the rumors of what they mean. they recorded a demo called "flyswater" which was never actual released on a record lable it was just given to family and friends, and the chance of geting hold of one of these is very slim trust me av tryed. the track listing for this demo was; * reebok commercial * time * red skies * alone * point of viwe * malboro ...  Read the complete review
