Blink was formed in the early 1990s by vocalist and guitarist Dermot Lambert, keyboardist Robbie Sexton, bassist Brian McLoughlin and drummer Barry Campbell.
The delay in production of new material resulted in the band receiving a letter in April 1996, informing them that the label had decided to terminate the contract.
The termination of their contract with Parlophone allowed them to return to America and in 1997 the band signed with the now defunct Paradigm Records.
[10] Between 1999 and 2004 Blink opened shows for Mercury Rev, Moby, Lloyd Cole, The Cardigans, Mark Geary and Blink-182.
Despite Paradigm Records closing its doors, Blink and producer Howie Beno decided to proceed with plans for a third album, which would eventually become 2004's Deep Inside the Sound of Sadness.
American singer-songwriter and producer Wendy Starland contributed vocals to the track "Don't You Rollerblade in Nashville Tennessee?"
