Founding drummer Scott Raynor recorded and toured with the group before being dismissed in 1998, with Barker taking his place from that point on. DeLonge left the group twice, both times a decade apart, before eventually returning. Hoppus is the only member to remain in the band throughout its entire history. Later efforts, including an untitled album (2003), marked stylistic shifts. Songs like ' All the Small Things', ' Dammit' and ' What's My Age Again?' became hit singles and MTV staples. Their biggest albums, Enema of the State (1999) and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001), saw considerable international success. Their current and best-known lineup consists of bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus, guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Travis Barker.Īfter years of independent recording and touring, including stints on the Warped Tour, the group signed to MCA Records.
