Blink 182 - Cheshire Cat (LP)

Cheshire Cat is the debut studio album by Blink-182. Recorded at Westbeach Recorders in Los Angeles, the album was released on February 17, 1995 through local independent record label Cargo Music. The trio, composed of guitarist Tom DeLonge, bassist Mark Hoppus, and drummer Scott Raynor, formed in 1992 and recorded three demos that impressed the San Diego-based Cargo. In addition, their reputation as an irreverent local live act at venues such as SOMA alerted the label, which was trying to expand into different genres. 

The record was originally released with the band's name as Blink, until an Irish band of the same name threatened legal action, after which the band appended -182 to the end of their name. Tracks like 'Carousel', 'Touchdown Boy' and 'M+Ms' are now classic entries into the Punk Rock catalogue.
