Slightly Stoopid play Germany’s Summerjam Festival before restarting a U.S. tour on July 11

And other news bits from Blink-182, INUS, Jason Scheff, Carnifex, J.D. Boucharde, and Frankie J

In case you wondered what doom-drone rockers look like, we give you INUS.

Slightly Stoopid’s video for “One More Night” collects vintage footage of the band over the last 20-plus years, from early days with Bradley Nowell (Sublime) through tours with Snoop Dogg, Bob Weir, Sly and Robbie, Half Pint, and locals Karl Denson and Pepper. Currently on the road with Matisyahu, Tribal Seeds, and HIRIE, they’ll play Germany’s Summerjam Festival before restarting a U.S. tour on July 11 in Bonner, Montana which runs through August.

Past Event

Blink-182 and Lil Wayne

Blink-182 played an unannounced show on June 20 at USC’s Galen Center in L.A., debuting their first new music in three years, “Blame It On My Youth” and “Generational Divide,” in advance of their upcoming tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of Enema of the State. “Blame It On My Youth” was produced by Tim Pagnotta with a lyric video created by graffiti artist RISK, and a third new single debuted last week for "Happy Days." A tour with Lil Wayne kicked off June 27 in Columbus, OH, hitting North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre on August 7. Vocalist/bassist Mark Hoppus also recently launched a band with All Time Low frontman Alex Gaskarth, Simple Creatures, releasing their debut EP in March.
