Subject: Task 9

I was in doubt about which band or artist I would present in this task. So at first I thought about old bands that I used to be a fan of, such as New Order, Talking Heads, The Cure; also Brazilian bands, like Legião Urbana, Capital Inicial, actually many bands from Brasília even not known (Plebe Rude). But as I am also experiencing new things and sounds, it happened that nowadays I started enjoying a new kind of sound to me; Punk rock, I would say it is more like a Punk Pop, for example Green Day and Offspring. However in this task I decided to talk about BLINK 182, a band that follows this trend. The band is a trio from California. Blink-182 consists of Mark Hoppus (bass, vocals), Tom Delonge (guitar, vocals) and Scott Raynor (drums). Originally just called blink, they were forced to change their name when an Irish techno band also called blink threatened to sue them. Although there are countless rumors of what the 182 stands for, ranging from the number of times certain words are said in movies to numbers that relate to where they live to the number of times that they have performed various sexual acts, the truth is that it is really just a number that they choose pretty much at random and thought sounded good.

Now if you like any of the artists cited above or maybe others and you would like to write me back, it would be very interesting. I promise not to mock you if you tell me that you like something such as 'sertanejo' and so on.

See you!!!
