Box Car Racer
Encyclopedia
Box Car Racer was a short-lived American post-hardcore
band from San Diego, California, formed in 2002. The band was a side-project of guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge
and drummer Travis Barker
of Blink-182
, along with lead guitarist David Kennedy
of Hazen Street
, and touring bassist Anthony Celestino. Driven by a more mature and introspective sound than previous Blink-182 recordings, DeLonge was the primary lyricist of the group and created the group in order to experiment with ideas that were not "Blink-friendly".
The band released one studio album, the eponymous Box Car Racer
, and played a tour throughout 2002 until blink-182 went into record their new album in 2003. Delonge stated that the band is permantley defunct. Delonge's new band Angels & Airwaves
, is proclaimed a continuation of Box Car Racer.
guitarist Tom DeLonge
and drummer Travis Barker
, the band was formed during a break from touring for Blink-182. A European tour for Blink-182 in winter 2001 was delayed in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, and rescheduled dates in early 2002 were also canceled due to DeLonge's back problems. According to interviews, Box Car Racer grew "out of boredom" and, according to DeLonge, "is just for fun in the few days we have off from our real jobs". The idea began with DeLonge playing acoustic guitar during recording sessions for Blink-182’s 2001 album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket
and grew from there.
The band was originally supposed to be named "The Kill" and the cd was to be titled Et Tu, Brute.
The name of the band, Box Car Racer, was originally the name of a band Barker was in shortly after high school. DeLonge liked the name, but was uneasy after learning the origin: the term was a reference to the B-29 Bomber which dropped the second wartime atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan
– the plane’s name was "Bockscar
". The plane’s name was commonly misspelled as "Boxcar", and, due to Barker’s desire for the band name to be three words, was spelled out as Box Car Racer.
The band began recording their first and only album in December 2001. Jerry Finn, longtime producer of Blink-182, was hired to produce the album. The band soon turned to be an outlet for DeLonge’s lyrics that were not "Blink-friendly" – e.g., fast-paced, goofy pop punk
. Instead, the band’s material was promised to be a tribute to DeLonge’s post-hardcore influences, such as Fugazi, Quicksand
, and Refused
. According to DeLonge in interviews, the album’s recording sessions were difficult for him because of constant back problems. The depression that came from being in constant pain influenced the lyrics of the album largely.
With DeLonge playing bass for the album, a bassist went unannounced until the band made their live debut with touring bassist Anthony Celestino on April 1, 2002. They continued with a string of live shows in California
until Blink-182 set out on tour with Green Day
and Jimmy Eat World
for the Pop Disaster Tour
on April 17.
The eponymous Box Car Racer
album was officially released on May 21, 2002 to commercial success – the album reached number 12 on the Billboard 200
, and "I Feel So
", the first single release, was already climbing the charts. Critics praised the new direction DeLonge and Barker had taken; as such, the album received positive reviews. Slant magazine called the album a "much needed departure from the banality of Blink-182" and "the perfect union of pop punk
riffs and instrumentation that spans all genres of rock from indie
to folk
."
The band performed "There Is
" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
September 3, 2002 and on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn
on October 17, 2002. It was announced that August that the band would be headlining their own tour with supporting act The Used
; the tour began October 25, 2002. Although Box Car Racer had written and performed a new song during the tour, the band’s final show was played December 17, 2002, with DeLonge stating that he would like to like to experiment more with Box Car Racer one day, "an every-other-year type thing." Barker and DeLonge agreed in an interview that Box Car Racer was a "learning experience", DeLonge adding "It makes me excited to start the new Blink record." Blink-182, the next album released by the band, was both praised and criticized for its change in musical atmosphere and darker tone. In an interview with MTV News shortly after the "indefinite hiatus" of Blink-182 was announced, DeLonge stated:
In the same interview, DeLonge admitted that there was still unfinished material from Box Car Racer, some of which eventually became Angels & Airwaves
’ debut studio album We Don't Need to Whisper
. Notwithstanding the fact that both DeLonge and Kennedy are in Angels & Airwaves, Angels & Airwaves has been called a "continuation of Box Car Racer". It is also well known among enthusiastic followers of DeLonge's work that a song that DeLonge wrote for the album but never added to the final track list called 'Dance With Me' was sometimes played at Boxcar Racer shows. Angels & Airwaves covered Box Car Racer’s "There Is
" at their very first live performance, and has performed various Box Car Racer songs live since. A sequel to a song found on Box Car Racer, "Letters to God Part II" can be found on Angels & Airwaves' 2010 album Love
