Blink-182's new video for "Up All Night" is quintessentially rock. It's got cars, it's got girls, and it's got a live performance. But most importantly, it's got fire -- lots and lots of fire.
While "Up All Night" is as catchy as Blink's earlier hits, it's got a markedly more mature sound which is further enunciated by its somewhat dark video. The three Blink boys take over what seems like a quiet, suburban, tree-lined block. In true rock-and-roll style, the band commandeers one of the houses and chaos ensues. Kids from surrounding blocks catch on and begin looting/breaking the crap out of everything in the house. They steal air conditioners and a teddy bears and throw them in the middle of the street. Hey! Didn't your moms teach you NOT TO LITTER?
As the neighbor kids continue to loot, many of the stolen housewares begin to spontaneously combust, igniting the entire block. A massive blaze breaks out and surrounds the band as they perform in the middle of of the fire-lined street. There's also a wacky chick who makes a cameo just to drive her car over everyone's lawn and into their houses (!!), because why not?
Though we're definitely thrilled by the bad-assery of this video, even if "Up All Night" was three and a half minutes of a blank white screen, we'd still love it. Because BLINK-182 IS BACK, guys!
