Raynor was fired midway through a 1998 tour and replaced by Barker. The group signed with major label MCA Records to co-distribute its second album, Dude Ranch (1997). In its early years, Blink-182 toured heavily behind the band’s debut, Cheshire Cat (1995). Blink-182 was initially known as Blink until an Irish band of the same name threatened legal action in response, the band appended the meaningless number “-182”. Founded by guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge, Hoppus and drummer Scott Raynor, the band emerged from the Southern California punk scene of the early 1990s and first gained notoriety for high-energy live shows and irreverent lyrical toilet humor. Since 2015, the lineup of the band has consisted of bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba. Blink-182 (often stylized as blink-182 pronounced “blink one eighty two”) is an American rock band formed in Poway, Californiain 1992.
