“I’’ll be real bold and blunt.”
– Travis Barker

I should admit this right off the bat: I’’m not a huge fan of Travis Barker’s music. The only work of his I’’ve really gravitated to is The Transplants; I’m still spinning that disc ever since I interviewed Skinhead Rob nearly a year and a half ago. But Barker’s new band +44 is good and a lot of fun. He’’s teamed up with another former member of Blink 182, Mark Hoppus, as well as former Transplants touring guitarist Craig Fairbaugh and the lead guitarist of The Nervous Return, Shane Gallagher. I had a very open and honest conversation with Barker about the new band and his trials and travails with the paparazzi and various famous blondes.
