Madi Diaz Reimagines Blink-182’s Classic Album for Immigration Aid
In a surprising yet impactful move, acclaimed singer-songwriter Madi Diaz has released a full cover of Blink-182’s 1999 pop-punk masterpiece, Enema of the State, with all proceeds supporting immigration aid organizations. The album, now available on streaming platforms, reinterprets hits like All the Small Things and Adam’s Song through Diaz’s signature indie-folk lens.
Why Blink-182’s Enema of the State?
Diaz’s choice to cover this album is deeply symbolic. While Blink-182’s original work channeled teenage angst, her stripped-down versions highlight themes of alienation—resonating with immigrant struggles. “These songs were my childhood,” Diaz shared. “Now, they can help people fighting for safety and belonging.”
Critics praise the project’s emotional depth. Rolling Stone India noted, “Diaz doesn’t just cover these tracks—she gives them new meaning as anthems for justice.”
Supporting Migrant Communities
Proceeds will benefit RAICES and the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC), nonprofits providing legal aid to migrants. “This isn’t political; it’s humanitarian,” Diaz emphasized.
Industry & Fan Reactions
Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus applauded the effort, tweeting, “Never thought Dumpweed could sound this beautiful—and for such a vital cause.” Fans have joined the movement, sharing covers under #EnemaForChange and driving the album to trend on Spotify.
