Mereka lalu mulai membuat lagu, tapi mereka baru sadar kalau butuh drumer. Maka bergabunglah Scott Raynor, lalu dinamailah BLINK. Saat itu, Tom baru 16 tahun, Mark 19 tahun dan Scott 17 tahun. Rekaman mereka yang pertama, FLYSWATTER, kualitasnya hancur sekali, karena direkam di kamar Tom cuma make tape-recorder . Album ini berisi 4 lagu dan hanya terdapat sekitar 50 copy saja yang kemudian diberikan kepada teman, pacar, kenalan,
Berkat perjuangan dan doa orang tua, akhirnya mereka mulai terkenal dan lagu-lagu mereka mulai dilirik label-label underground. Pada awalnya, band mereka makai nama Blink. Berhubung juga ada band techno asal Irlandia yang juga make nama Blink, jadi mereka tambahin angka 182 dibelakangnya, BLINK 182. Why 182? Why…? karena 182 adalah 182 kali umpetan F*** yang diucapkan Tony Montana di Scarface, tapi Mark bilang 182 cuma random number that sounds cool.
Pada tahun 1993 dengan Filter Record mereka merilis demo yang berjudul BUDDHA sebanyak 1000 copy. Di awal tahun 1994, Blink 182 menandatangani kontrak dengan Cargo Records. Mereka merekam debut album penuhnya, CHESHIRE CAT dalam tiga hari. Beberapa isi albumnya merupakan versi baru lagu Strings dan Carousel yang terdapat dalam album demo Buddha.
Tahun 1996 Blink 182 menandatangani kontrak dengan MCA yang kemudian berubah nama menjadi Geffen Records. Setelah pindah ke Encinitas, California, mereka merekam album DUDE RANCH pada 1996 dengan diproduseri Mark Trombino, yang dirilis setahun kemudian. Album ini terbilang sukses karena terjual sebanyak 4 juta copy di seluruh dunia. Single mereka Dammit berjaya di US modern rock charts.
Tur resmi pertama mereka dihiasi dengan kejadian tidak menyenangkan. Scott Raynor dikeluarin dari band karena drugs and alcohol habit-nya yang udah parah . Ketika mulai kebingungan mencari penggantinya Scoot, kebetulan saat itu Blink 182 tur dengan band pembuka namanya THE AQUABATS. Lalu drummer dari The Aquabats menawarkan dirinya untuk bergabung di band Blink 182. Drummer tersebut adalah Travis Barker.
Kesuksesan BLINK 182
Pada 1999, dalam proses pembuatan album ENEMA OF STATE, Blink 182 mempekerjakan Jerry Finn sebagai produser. Album ini membawa Blink 182 ke dunia mainstream dengan hit single Whats My Age Again, All The Small Things dan Adams Song yang sering diputar di radio dan ditayangkan di MTV. Penjualannya mencapai 10 juta copy di seluruh dunia dan menjadi best selling album saat itu.Di tahun 2000 Blink 182 merilis album live berjudul THE MARK, TOM AND TRAVIS SHOW : THE ENEMA STRIKES BACK dengan isi materi dari tiga album sebelumnya dan tambahan lagu studio Man Overboard. Blink 182 melanjutkan kesuksesannya dengan merilis album TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS AND JACKET di tahun 2001.
Setelah menghabiskan waktu ditahun 2002, rekaman untuk album selanjutnya dimulai pada 18 Nopember 2003 dan menghasilkan hit single Feeling This, I Miss You, Down dan Im Lost Without You. Barker mengatakan Blink 182 sengaja membiarkan albumnya tanpa judul (beda dengan self-titled) untuk mewakili Blink 182 yang baru.
Bubarnya Blink 182
Di pertengahan Februari 2005, Blink 182 membatalkan performnya di Music For Reliefs Concert For South Asia, yang kemudian pada tanggal 22 Februari 2005 diumumkan bahwap embatalan tersebut dikarenakan Blink 182 akan vakum untuk sementara waktu. Geffen Records merilis GREATEST HITS pada 1 Nopember 2005 di US, di dalamnya termasuk unreleased track Another Girl Another Planet (sebuah cover song dari The Only Ones) dan bonus track Not Now. Banyak yang bilang kalau lagu Not Now itu lagu blink yang terbaru. Tapi itu omong kosong ! Asal tau saja, lagu Not Now itu udah direkam di album Blink 182 khusus untuk daerah UK!
Kabarnya tanggal 22 Februari 2005, Blink 182 resmi bubar. Tapi Who Know?? Pemicunya masalah lama antara Tom dengan Mark tentang Box Car Racer, dan keinginan Tom untuk lebih fokus dengan keluarganya. Tanggal 23 Mei 2006, Tom mengumumkan band barunya ANGEL AND AIRWAVES yang kemudian merilis album WE DONT NEED TO WHISPER. Lalu, Mark dan Travis juga membuat band +44 yang kemudian merilis album WHEN YOUR HEART STOPS BEATING pada 14 Nopember 2006
