Barker earned his first breakthrough in 1998 when he was recruited to fill in on the drums for the punk rock group, Blink-182. His skills at playing the drums surfaced when he not only learned the drum tracks for 20 songs in 45 minutes but played the same with complete perfection and poise. 

Other than his involvement with Blink-182, he recorded tracks for Transplants, a rap/rock band. He also contributed to Dave Carlock’s band, The Distillers and appeared in one of the videos of Puff Daddy, ‘Bad Boy for Life

In 2003, Blink-182 began to work on their next album. Interestingly, they let forgo the conventional recording process and instead turned a home into a studio. After months of working out, they released their fifth self-titled album, ‘Blink-182’.

The tracks from the album, ‘Feeling This’ and ‘I Miss You’ peaked high on the Billboard. In 2005, the band finally broke up calling for an ‘indefinite hiatus’.
