Day Wave Enlist Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus for "Stuck" Video: Watch

Oakland indie-rock band Day Wave have shared a video for “Stuck,” a track from their Hard to Read EP. In the video, which parodies a viral clip of a priest watching a Star Wars VII trailer, Blink 182 member and Day Wave fan Mark Hoppus sits down to watch an unseen film created by “Stuck” video director Ryan Baxley. Read about the making of the video from Day Wave, Hoppus, and Baxley below, and scroll down to watch it. 

Day Wave:

I first became friends with Mark through Twitter – he was a big supporter from early on. The Blink 182 videos were always hilarious so I had the idea of asking if he would be interested in helping out with a Day Wave video. He was down, so from there we had our director Ryan come up with the treatment. Mark only did about 5 takes and they were all so funny. After a couple of takes Mark suggested that I sit in the background, but I was afraid I would be laughing the whole time. Takes 2&3 I couldn’t keep it together, but fortunately we got it pretty quickly.

Mark Hoppus:

i first discovered day wave when apple music launched and drag was featured on the front page, i instantly loved the song and got the ep. later, jackson and i became friends on twitter, and he hit me up about being in the video for stuck. we went to our friend’s office and shot it one morning in march. of course i’m stoked and honored to be part of the timeless legacy this song is about to become.

Ryan Baxley:

I had been hanging out with some friends and we were swapping YouTube videos. They showed me some reaction videos and I started thinking that it could make for a really unique music video. A couple weeks later, I got hit up by a friend at Grand Jury and he said, “feel free to say ‘go fuck yourself’ but we’ve got a brand new artist and no budget, BUT Mark Hoppus is a fan and is down to be in a video if you have any ideas.” So I sent them a link to one of the reaction videos my friends had shown me and said, “Let’s do this.” and to my surprise, everyone was on board. So I made a completely ridiculous video for Mark to watch and he improvised it all from there. We shot it in an office in Beverly Hills and you could only park at the meter for 2 hours. I set my alarm, thinking I’d have to come out and move it before we finished, but he nailed it by the 4th take. We did a couple more for safety, but that was it. I got back to my car with an hour and 15 minutes still left on the meter.
