Box Car Racer

Started as a side-project by Tom DeLonge in 2002, Box Car Racer brought out a musical side of him we hadn't yet seen reflected in Blink's albums. The premier and only album for BCR was filled with dark, emotional rock music that sounded somewhat similar to Blink's self-titled album that was yet to come out.

Personally, BCR were one of my favourite bands, and I find some of the songs to be very creative and eye-opening. Their songs are different to the usual teenage breakup lyrics we knew Tom for; they're religious, remorseful, and promote strong messages about the value of life.

Songs such as "Watch The World" and "Letters To God" are slow songs, that have a heavy guitar breakout towards the end, but it is easy to understand what the meaning of the song. The two biggest hits off of the album are "There Is" and "I Feel So". It's a shame that BCR never got to produce more songs after their debut album, but if that had happened their would of been no Angels & Airwaves.

Posted below are the two popular songs mentioned previously.
