Blink 182 after eight years - an album has been released, but drummer Travis Barker said the party has completed five new songs and fan them to their new album this summer Can expect the wrap.According to the MTV that Barker told in this week, “I think we’ll turn in our album in June or July, honestly, and, I mean, the stuff’s awesome. It’s coming close, to the point where these are completed songs and they’re not going to change. These are album versions … I wish I could play everyone the songs now. Like I said, they sound awesome.” Barker explains, “You know, it’s hard, because we would get home from a tour, and then Tom [DeLonge]’s side project would go out, his side project comes back, he’s back now, he’s ready to get in the lab, [and] I’m about to say, ‘Peace out, I’m about to do my thing.’ So it’s like, when we’re in a room together for more than a month or two, it’s gonna really happen.
I mean, up until the last album, every album was written in a week. All of us had ideas, we would come, we would get into a room, [and] we’d go, ‘OK, you want to write the album?’ And we’d write those songs, and then we’d record them the next week. Now ... we all have studios, we all have the luxury of staying home and doing it, and we don’t have to get into a room to get an idea out or pay for a studio. So a lot of it’s going down. Like, we’re working in separate studios, just really kind of working on music.”
