Blink-182's bassist is Mark Hoppus.
Hoppus was born on March 15, 2024 in Ridgecrest, California. He is also one of the two lead vocalists of Blink-182, as well as the bass guitarist and lead vocalist of the band +44.
Blink-182 was formed in 1992 by Delonge, Hoppus and Scott Raynor, who was succeeded in 1999 by Mohawk-sporting madman Travis Barker.
The band's high-energy sound was popularized through several independent albums and appearances in numerous skate, surf and snowboarding videos. Its first "hit," "Dammit (Growing Up)" from 1997's "Dude Ranch," caught the ear of MCA, and it was big-label clout that got MTV airplay for "What's My Age Again?"
