Blink 182: The Bands, The Breakdown & The Return. Link: [ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blink-182-Bands-Breakdown-Return/dp/1906191107[/ame]
Biography by Joe Shooman, BBC Radio contributing music journalist whose work has featured in mags including Metal Hammer, Music Mart, Record Collector, Plan B Magazine, Mixmag and The Fly. He's done books on Trivium, Kasabien, Iron Maiden.. Here's the blurb:
The first and only biography to chart one of punk rock's most influential and important bands. Blink-182 started off as a power-punk trio that gigged relentlessly and goofed about constantly. Yet, over the course of five blistering studio albums, Blink evolved into one of the most influential post-punk outfits in music, which led to sales in excess of 20 million records worldwide. They split up in 2005 amidst tales of barbed acrimony after which the band was replaced by running record labels, founding merchandising empires, forming numerous splinter bands such as +44 and Angels & Airwaves, screening MTV reality shows and escaping a fatal plane crash. Then in 2009, Blink-182 shocked the world by announcing they were reforming with a new album and a rash of massive live shows. This book tells the story of the band through exhaustive research and a slew of exclusive interviews from people who have worked with and around the band, chronicling for the first time ever a seminal modern rock act.
First edition says March 25th 2010. Sounds good to me

Has anyone considered the possibility it IS Marcus' book?
Maybe he put a diff. author to stop haters bashing in reviews?
Lmao, doubtful but still. Hopefully it's a good book. I'll be getting it asap.
(Joe's, not Marcus'. I'll download a pdf of Marcus'. He's not doing it for money, he shouldn't mind)
no, Marucs had a different title for his book.Don't remember what it was but i liked it.
Do we really need this?
Everyone knows everything about their lives anyway.
Possibly not Everything. I'm sure it'll be a good read.

Are you being serious here?
From "Hopefully" onwards - yes.
