Blink 182's Travis Barker: "I think we’ll turn in our album in June or July"

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.”

Introduction To Blink 182

Blink-182 was a Southern-Californian pop punk group that was shaped in 1992 by Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Scott Raynor in the northern San Diego village of Poway, California.

The group members were Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and drummer Travis Barker. The group is recognized for playing catchy melodies, as well as their satirical toilet humour. Identified as a group that plays up-tempo songs with famous major-chord agreement, often digitally mixed, to provide a much cleaner sound than typical punk/rock recordings generally employing distortion and ragged analogue mixes to achieve the opposite effect. The poetic content of their songs, especially prior to their last album, is often humorous and uplifting. Although the band is labelled as Blink 182 on albums prior to Raynor's departure, the specific syntax for the band's current name is blink-182, as conflicting to Blink-182 or their former name, blink. The numbers 182 were additional to the group's name to stop a copyright clash with an Irish pop/rock b ndthat calls itself "Blink".
