Blink Get Back Together!

To promote the band's back, Blink in partnered with AT&T release an Unofficial Music Video for "Up All Night" August 2, 2011, a montage compiled from fan-made YouTube videos that used the band's music illegally. After an online search of over 14,000 videos, several were compiled to create the montage, presented as "The Blink-182 film festival you didn't know you entered".

The video premiered August 26, 2011. The video was directed by Isaac Rentz and was filmed July 26, 2011. The official music video for "Up All Night" depicts a very erratic block party. Tom DeLonge stated that it would have a more serious tone in comparison to some of the band's more humorous videos of the past, saying "at this point in our career, what we're trying to do with this record and everything, it's not going to be totally the same as what people expected. But, old Blink videos, we had a lot of serious ones and we had a lot of funny ones. This one, I think, will be along the lines of being more serious". Check out!
