Box Car Racer : Vers une possible réunion ?

Dans une interview récente avec GQ, Travis Barker a évoqué la possibilité d’un second album pour Box Car Racer, le side-project qu’il a porté en 2001-2002 avec Tom DeLonge suite à la séparation de Blink-182.

Le batteur indique alors « ça a été évoqué (rires). ça serait cool, mais ça va être difficile vu que la sortie du premier album avait causé beaucoup de problèmes avec Blink.« 

La partie la plus intéressante, c’est que Tom a retweeté un article évoquant cette interview avec le commentaire « Hmmm… ». On a bon espoir donc.

La réponse totale de Travis :
Any chance of another Box Car Racer album? 

« You know, it’s been mentioned [laughs]. That’d be cool, but it’s hard because the last one caused so many problems with Blink. It was weird because at the time I was listening to Stanford Prison Experiment, Pitchfork, Quicksand, Fugazi, all these bands, and Tom [DeLonge] was like, « What the fuck is Quicksand? » He heard it and fell in love and really dived right into that whole post-hardcore genre.

We started writing and had no idea what it was going to be for. I think we were both under the impression in the beginning that it was going to be a Blink album. Then it was like, no let’s do this cool little side project, but we won’t put an album out. Then the label heard it and wanted to put it out. Then there wasn’t going to be a tour, but they were like ah, you can do this tour. It just spiraled out of control. . . But I don’t know. [Mark’s] not in the band, so would it cause a lot of problems? Would it not? I have no idea. It’s something I can’t even wrap my head around just because I’m so proud of this album that we’re currently supporting. But I love Box Car. It was a cool album and cool sound. »
