Early years (1992-1998)
In May 1993, Blink recorded their first demo tape, entitled “Flyswatter”, in drummer Scott Raynor’s bedroom. A 4-track was used to record the material. According to Hoppus, only around fifty copies of the demo were produced to give to their family and friends. Before the end of the year, the band released another demo, “Buddha”. Around 1,000 copies were produced by Filter Records, an independent record company headed by Hoppus’s boss.
In early 1994, Blink signed with Cargo Records. The band recorded their début full-length album, “Cheshire Cat” in three days. The album contained a number of updated versions of songs such as “Carousel”, “Strings”, “Sometimes” and “TV” that had appeared on the “Buddha Promo Tape” as well as some originals.
Shortly after the release of “Cheshire Cat”, Blink was threatened with legal action by a pop band in Ireland of the same name. In order to avoid a dispute, Blink appended “182” to the end of their name.
