The band was formed in Poway, California, a small suburb in San Diego, in 1992. The original band consisted of Tom DeLonge as the guitarist and vocals, Mark Hoppus as the bassist and vocals, and Scott Raynor on the drums. Today, only one of the original band members remain. DeLonge met Raynor at a local battle of the bands, as well as Kerry Key. Key’s girlfriend at the time, Anne Hoppus, is the reason for Mark Hoppus joining the duo.
