The band was formed in August 1992 in Poway, California and became a huge success with the release of their third album, Enema of the State in 1999 featuring the songs What’s My Age Again? as well as All The Small Things and Adam’s Song.

The band began to drift apart in 2002 but they regrouped the following year, however it was short lived.

Tom left the group in 2005 as he focused on his solo project, Angels & Airwaves, while Travis and Mark continued on without him.

Travis survived a plane crash in 2008 that killed four people; he and Adam Goldstein were the only survivors.

Following the tragedy, the trio met up in the hospital; they eventually reunited and took part in a reunion tour in 2009.

However, the friction between the trio remained and was characterized as ‘dysfunctional’ with Tom leaving the band for a second time in 2014 and returning the following day.
