Creative differences..
Tom is a new band called 'Angels and Airwaves' ... really different to Blink 182, but really amazing.
Travis and Mark have formed a new band together called 'Plus 44'

''........ many fans were shocked when blink-182 announced they were going on an "indefinite hiatus". Barker was the first to speak out, claiming that "We're taking a break and letting everyone be creative on their time off", adding that "We want to enjoy ourselves and regroup and write a record when it's the right time." He also said that the band members wanted to spend more time with their families. Two months later, Barker and Hoppus announced they were forming a new band, (+44), with Barker saying that "Blink, as far as I'm concerned, is over.." ............weeks later Delonge revealed his project, Angels and Airwaves to the general public. He claimed it would be "the greatest rock'n'roll revolution of this generation" and "more emotional than blink-182 and Box Car Racer put together". His reason for why blink-182 was on indefinite hiatus, Delonge suggested the mounting tension between himself and Hoppus, ultimately caused by DeLonge's desire for a break with his family and Hoppus' feelings of betrayal from the formation of Box Car Racer

The reason they split up was because mark and tom grew apart musically, they both wanted to move in different directions. They had been best friends nearly all their lives. One of the main reasons they split was because tom and Travis started a new band "box car racer", this really upset mark, as he wasn't asked to join. Shortly after they released their self titled album, they split. (I was lucky to see them touring shortly after they released "blink-182") The band is now divided into two new bands, tom's super group "Angels and Airwaves" and mark and Travis' band "Plus 44". Plus 44 are sticking close to blink-182's original pop/punk roots, whilst Angels and Airwaves are taking a more emotional epic approach to their music.
It is noticeable in the Plus 44 song "No it isn't" there is conflict between Tom and Mark, as Mark sings:
"Please understand
This isn't just goodbye
This is I cant stand you
This is where the road crashed into the ocean
It rises all around me
And now we're barely breathing
A thousand faces we'll choose to ignore
[chorus]
Curse my enemies forever
Lets slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful
This desperation leaves me overjoyed
With fading lights that leads us past the lives that we destroy"
With the slit wrists making reference to Toms new "emo" approach to music, noticeable in blink 182's self titled album.
Hope this helps
Dave
