In my wildest nightmares, I never thought I'd like anything connected with Blink 182, the kind of evil, pointless, American band that makes me want to eat my own vomit. But here comes one of the most staggeringly good side projects in living memory. Box Car Racer.

Box Car Racer is clearly Tom Delonge's baby. Having rid himself of Mark Hoppus and his evil faux-nu-punk ethics, it seems that Delonge has been given a chance to express himself.

"I Feel So" is startling rush of punk-emo, Delonge's familiar whiny tones suddenly become genuinely affecting, and this plea for attention and admittance of misery draws you into it's depressed little world. Even a pointless, self indulgent piano intro can't spoil a record as good as this.

It sounds as if Delonge has been let off the leash by master Hoppus, and he’s produced a record good enough to rank alongside the emo perfection of Rival Schools and Jimmy Eat World.

Forget all you know about the banality of Blink 182. Cherish all you hear of this band. Box Car Racer, as some Blink fans might say, Fucking Rule!!!

Box Car Racer - I Feel So

yeah, can you feel the intensity of fugazi in there too?

what was that? no?!?!

Re: Box Car Racer - I Feel So

heheh, i like the way everyone said it was going to sound like Fugazi and even Refused, and it ends up sounding kind of like Blink in a different key. its quite good, but not as good as rival schools.

Re: Box Car Racer - I Feel So

tell me this is all one big joke?

Re: Box Car Racer - I Feel So

Have you heard the lyrics? NOOOOOOOOOOO! Tom Delonge should kill himself now. When blink182 try 'serious',this happens. How can anyone say this can compare to Rival Schools? And Tom Delonges love of Fugazi....?!?!?!? Fugazi are good. Blink and all their side projects are BADBADBADBAD. End of argument!

finally, someone who is as passionately opposed to this whole shebang as i! although, i do admit to relating to his lyrics. y'know sometimes 'i wish i was strong' and i do feel 'so used unfaithful' ever so slightly..

Re: Box Car Racer - I Feel So

Box Car Racer - I Feel So

OK. I just got NTL Digital & good radio in the same month. It's great.
This song...ooooh...great music but baaaaaad lyrics. Emo, schmemo bollocks.
I hear/see the intensity of Fugazi et al in there but a lyricist who is...um...12.
