Boxcar Racer, a side project of Blink 182 members Travis Barker and Thomas DeLonge, embraced a more traditional punk sound with the addition of guitarist David Kennedy and bassist Anthony Celestino. The group recorded their self-titled album during the winter of 2001/2002, cutting back on pop influences and showcasing a range of inspirations including the Replacements and D.R.I., serving as an outlet for material that didn't fit within Blink 182's signature style. ~ Bradley Torreano, Rovi
