They Came to Conquer… Uranus
They Came to Conquer… Uranus is a 1996 EP from blink‐182, released in the US in February 1996 on Grilled Cheese, the subdivision of the independent label Cargo Music. It sits in the band's early indie days, a year after their debut album Cheshire Cat arrived in 1995 and before Dude Ranch in 1997.
It is one of only two EPs in the band's catalogue, and it comes from the period when the Southern California trio of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Scott Raynor were building a name for high-energy live shows and irreverent toilet humour. For anyone who knows them from the big pop-punk hits of Enema of the State, it is a look at where they started.
