Blink is a pop/rock band from Ireland, but now based in the USA. They are noted for their mixture of humour and melancholy. They have released three albums to date: A Map Of the Universe by Blink (1994), The End Is High (1998) and Deep Inside The Sound Of Sadness (2004). "A Map of the Universe by Blink" was a top ten album. "The End is High" was a Billboard magazine album of the week and "Deep inside the Sound of Sadness" was nominated as Best Irish Album of the Year in the 2005 Meteor Music Awards.
The San Diego, California based pop punk band was originally also called Blink, but the original Blink told them to possibly change their name to avoid confusion. The San Diego band changed their name to Blink-182.
