Blink-182's Mark Hoppus: "Hi Violent Soho, I Like Your Band"

Or, "How to know you've really made it"

More Violent Soho Violent Soho

Veteran pop-punk pioneer Mark Hoppus — he of blink-182+44 and Nothing And Nobody fame — has publicly expressed his approval of unstoppable Aussie outfit Violent Soho.

In a tweet sent in the wee hours of this morning (AEST), Hoppus paid tribute to the Mansfield, Brisbane-bred four-piece - whose year to date has really done nothing but keep getting better from month to month - with a quick shout-out and nod to their wildly popular recent single Covered In Chrome.

The real question, Mark, is if you like Violent Soho enough to throw money at them to help them achieve the levels of greatness we all know they so sorely deserve. Until then, though, we'll take what we can get.
