Box Car Racer is a short-lived American rock side project of Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker. The self-titled album (2002) is praised for its emocore/post-hardcore tones, emotional depth and strong drumming. Reviews note guests (Tim Armstrong, Mark Hoppus) and production by Jerry Finn.

For:Fans of Blink-182, emo and post-hardcore listeners; listeners of early-2000s punk revival and alternative rock.

 Among the most extravagant yet minimal projects that have ever gravitated around the prosperous early '00s punk revival movement, the 'one season band' formula of Box Car Racer stands out for merit, becoming a blueprint for more than one of the musical entities that would rotate among the penultimate blink-182 DeLonge era.

 Box Car Racer was born from the need of Tom De Longe, known worldwide for being the guitarist of Blink182, to pursue a more alternative and less commercial path than the one he took with Blink.
