This What’s Wrong With covers Blink-182, a band with a pretty troubled history that’s seen as a band leading the charge and defining what it means to be pop punk, and a band that I actually used to not like for a while. This is probably going to be the most interesting range of perspectives I’ve ever had in this series. And we also talk about Ticketmaster, aliens, and Machine Gun Kelly, so you know you’re in for a treat.
