  • The sequel to 2020's smash hit "If Blink 182 Wrote Semi Charmed Life," this new cover is pretty much the same formula on a different tune. Just kidding (kinda) but I'm really proud of this one!

    Third Eye Blind (Self-Titled), 1997...one of the best albums of all time IMO. Almost every track is great, but it's totally listenable all the way through. So many sleepers too, like "God of Wine" and "The Background". Incredible cover, as always, Alex 🤘🏼

    As a casual blink fan, and a musician, I always look forward to these. The Hoppus and Barker impersonations are always a bare minimum 90% accurate, but the DeLonge stuff comes across more like 75%. I think Alex's voice just suits Mark more than Tom, so that is what it is. But the guitar tone needs a little more twang and it wouldn't hurt to throw in an extra helping of noodley riff salad to the guitar parts. That's what always stood out about blink vs other pop punk bands. Most bands in the genre were strumming away with their power chords, but Tom always wrote very riff driven tracks.
    Not criticizing in a negative way, just sharing my observations on these videos. Keep up the great work Alex! 🤘
