| Early on, Delonge would call up different high schools around his area and say that his band promoted not using drugs and asked if they could play at lunchtime. This is how they got some of their first gigs. (thanks, Daniel - poughkeepsie, NY) |
| Barker and DeLonge have a side project called Boxcar Racer that tends to play rawer and more serious punk music. Barker can also be heard in the Transplants, a punk supergroup comprised of him and Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman from Rancid. |
| They have been honored by several different organizations, including the Teen Choice Awards, the MTV Video Music Awards, and the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards. No Grammies... yet. |
