Newly reunited punk-pop rock band **[Blink-182](http://www.blink182.com/splash/?ref=hypebot.com)** recently released their new album, *Neighborhoods*. In addition to some [clever marketing initiatives](http://michaelbrandvold.com/blog/2011/09/blink-182-neighborhoods-preorder-drives-fans-back-to-facebook-to-post-pictures/?ref=hypebot.com) set forth by the band’s marketing team, Blink-182 has integrated with **SoundCloud, SimpleGeo, Envolve**, and more to allow their fans to listen to the new album with other people within their own geographic region.

Segmented by **real-world neighborhoods** and using the fan’s current **geographic location**, fans can stream the new album on a page that'll display who else in their area is in the same “Room” as them – similar to Turntable.fm.

**Here’s a breakdown of who / what was involved in the development:**

- [SoundCloud](http://soundcloud.com/?ref=hypebot.com) \- Used the Stream All Audio cross-browser and device in addition to providing a ton of analytics on who’s listening to what.
- [SimpleGeo](http://simplegeo.com/?ref=hypebot.com) – Powers nearly all of the “geo” features, including but not limited to finding your neighborhood, understanding the shape of it, and seamlessly plotting it on the map.
- [Envolve](http://envolve.com/?ref=hypebot.com) – Powers hundreds of simultaneous chat rooms.
- [PolyMaps](http://polymaps.org/?ref=hypebot.com) – SVG-based mapping engine that integrates into SimpleGeo and CloudMade tiles.
- [SoundManager2](http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/?ref=hypebot.com) – Serves up audio via Javascript to the browser.
- [Geocoder](http://www.rubygeocoder.com/?ref=hypebot.com) – Powers the Address Lookup function with international support backed by some major companies like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
- [Chartbeat](http://chartbeat.com/?ref=hypebot.com) – Seamless realtime tracking
- [Skeleton](http://www.getskeleton.com/?ref=hypebot.com) – Powers the “elastic” layout that makes the page layout resize nicely down to mobile devices.
