Box Car Racer Biography


Thomas DeLonge (vocals, guitar, songwriting)
Travis Barker (drums, arrangements)
David Kennedy (guitar)
Anthony Celestino (bass)

Formed by Blink 182 guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker, to pay tribute to the punk bands that influenced them, the video for Box Car Racer's first single, "I Feel So," is performance-based with "an old-school punk aesthetic," according to the band's MCA Records spokesperson.
DeLonge and his bandmates — Blink drummer Travis Barker, Over My Dead Body guitarist Dave Kennedy and bassist Anthony Celestino — filmed the clip on Thursday at a studio in Burbank, California, with director Nathan "Karma" Cox, whose résumé includes videos for Linkin Park and System of a Down.

"I Feel So" is from Box Car Racer's self-titled debut album, due May 14. DeLonge wrote all of the material, played guitar and bass, and sang almost all of the vocals on the record, which was produced by longtime Blink associate Jerry Finn (Green Day, Sum 41). In January, he described Box Car Racer as a tribute to Fugazi, Refused and Blink-182.
