Not enough people have seen "That Thing You Do!"

[@sabes44]

I wish there was more +44 here. Like no one ever talks about that project. It’s very underrated

[@dylanbailey8207]

I wonder who he could be referring to when he said he hates it when people start new projects that sound the same as the band they’re in 🤔😂

[@lost6672]

Mark looks like a homosexual that writes for buzzfeed

[@danno1022]

I know Marks referring to BCR there and i get why he got salty over it but i wont have a bad word said against that album it was and still is incredible.

[@DavidAGIII]

My man still bitter about Boxcar Racer and post ‘09 AvA lmao

[@pantsnjacket381]

That BCR bit is still burning him to ashes inside

[@maxadrums]

Man, it's great to see a good interviewer asking things other than the extremely over-asked questions.

[@landolakes]

Had to turn up my volume louder than I ever have. Gotta normalize those levels before you export!

[@JawJX]

+44 in a 2019 video? do my eyes deceive me?

[@allcatsaregods2043]

LOL!! Mark , I remember you in high school as you dressed like Robert Smith from the Cure. You were always cool to me man that's why I always gave you free Mountain Dew from the soda fountain where I worked (Eastridge market). I saw the IT factor in you the first time I saw you play live with "Of all things!" I am very happy for your success. You deserve it! Whatever you release, I buy. And yes I own the Blink CD without the 182 and I wore the rabbit shirt before it became common place. Fan for life.

What a cool dude. We were in the same drivers ed class. So happy a kid from Ridgecrest is this successful. His high school bands were always cool. Of all things and peer 69

[@lavs8696]

Can't believe Mark is still so bitter about BCR. Tom wanted to moreso detach himself from the "brand" Blink and try other things, obviously if it was just the 3 of them writing music on this project that would be impossible. He probably feels it was a slight to him because he was the one "not invited", but I feel like if anything that proves Mark has a great influence on the blink brand and sound, while Travis has less. If anything, he should take it as a compliment that he wasn't invited. BTW, BCR, AVA, and Tom's solo project are all fantastic. So happy Tom decided to branch off and try other things.

[@illuminatiCorgi]

You could tell me that these two were brothers and I would simply smile and nod.

[@ArunSingh-zt6bl]

"moving on a little bit" about 8x lol

[@DBFamilyVlog]

I think what bands loose when they go straight into recording with out really working out the details is the quality of these songs that are coming out, there's something to be said about having a label breathe down your neck to make the song you can make for the album instead of "Ok cool so this kinda works, lets roll with it."

Love Mark, he's a great guy, I know people are hating on the new blink song and I get it, but gotta love Mark :)

[@johnmangino3925]

Adore the Simple Creatures stuff. Hope they do more
