Blink-182's New Music Video For 'Up All Night'

Blink-182 noticed that quite a few of their fans have used the band's music in YouTube videos without permission.

Turns out, that's just fine with them. In fact, they used the clips as inspiration for their new music video.

From the video's description:

To launch our first single in eight years, AT&T helped us search YouTube for every instance of fans using our music without our permission. And then we rewarded them for it. This film is made out of clips from all those videos.

The video is for Blink's "Up All Night," which will be on the band's upcoming album "Neighborhoods," scheduled for a September release.

As The Huffington Post noted back in July, the lyrics for the single are surprisingly mature and melancholic, given the band's pop-punk sunshine roots.

Perhaps it's the growth that comes after divorce, an indefinite hiatus and a plane crash.

Blink 182? Thought this was Angels & Airwaves. ^_^ Sound so much alike...it is like making me all weirded out trying to tell them apart.

That's the exact same thing I thought when I first heard it. Maybe that's the only way Tom was going to agree to make his way back to the band.

This isn't the music video for the song. Just something fun.

Great idea for a video- Somewhere, Lars Ulrich of Metallica is having an aneurysm.

Somebody on HP must be a HUGE mark for these guys.
To each his own, I say.

I like their recognition that using their videos is a compliment and that it perpetuates their popularity. I like the song, too.

Rock star maturity, a rare thing.
