When the members of DEADB3AT decided they needed a “side quest” they built a Time Machine to return to the golden era of Pop Punk!

Introducing Blink 1ATE2, the ultimate tribute to the icons of high-energy & catchy melodies Blink-182. Stepping out of their usual roles, the band trades their standard set for traditional power chords, lightning-fast drum fills and a healthy dose of playful stage banter. Delivering tracks from the era of Dude Ranch to the massive hooks of Enema of the State… Blink 1ATE2 is a love letter to the music that defined them. Work sucks, They know… so leave the maturity at home and come sing along!
