Ep. 278: John Feldmann discusses blink-182’s “Bored to Death”

Goldfinger frontman and producer John Feldmann returns for his third appearance to talk about the making of blink-182’s 2016 single “Bored to Death.” Feldmann was brought in to produce the California album at a pivotal moment, as the band adjusted to life without Tom DeLonge and welcomed Matt Skiba. With “Bored to Death” serving as both the first single and the public’s introduction to Skiba, the pressure was high, but Feldmann helped deliver a track that quickly became a fan favorite. This episode takes a deep dive into how the song came together and why it still resonates today.
