Forming in the wake of pop-punk trio blink-182's 2005 hiatus, (+44) -- pronounced Plus 44 -- brought blink alums Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus back together. Originally billed as a largely electronic-based project, their name came from the international dialing code to the United Kingdom, where the duo first discussed doing the project. The two initially hooked up with vocalist Carol Heller of Get the Girl, but by summer 2006, rumors began swirling that she was no longer in the band. A month later, it was quietly publicized that (+44) instead included guitarists Shane Gallagher (the Nervous Return) and Craig Fairbaugh (Mercy Killers, Lars Fredericksen & the Bastards, the Forgotten). Their debut album is slated for a fall 2006 release.
