Slowly, but surely, the person wipes away various blink-182 logos, including their old-school bunny character and the iconic smiley face.

Their goal? To create a lush sonic temple for vocalist Joshua Roberts’ infectious voice to bounce off of in tandem with the group’s guitarists, Tristan Torres and Freddie Criales, armed with their acoustics.
