Tom DeLonge om det kommande albumet

Här är en liten artikel från 1057thepoint, där Tom berättar om hur det nya albumet kommer låta. han berättar att det kommer vara en mix mellan de tre olika personliga stilarna som Mark, Tom och Travis har. Tom förklarar att det kommer bli någon sorts mix av deras olika soloprojekt.

Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge said backstage during the band’s appearance at the U.K.’s Leeds Festival last weekend that fans can get a clue about what the group’s next album will sound like by listening to the solo work from all three members.

DeLonge told the U.K.’s Rock Radio, “The record will be very modern, relevant, fast and fun. It’ll be a mixture of drum ‘n’ bass, indie rock and stadium rock . . . Anyone who listens to my band Angels & Airwaves will know where I sit musically. If you imagine that, mixed in with what the other guys do in their spare time, you get it. It’s going to be a really great collaboration of the best of three different genres of music.”

Blink plans to get down to work on a new record later this year after finishing up their current overseas road trip.

The band reunited after a five-year hiatus in early 2009, partially as a result of drummer Travis Barker’s near death in a plane crash.

DeLonge says that the punk trio are “getting on better than we ever have, and there’s a confidence there now. We love what we do and we know we do it pretty well.”

Blink 182 blast back!

Last week pop-punk kings Blink 182 completed their five-date whirlwind tour of the UK, after almost a six-year absence. Is it good to be back? We joined Mark, Tom and Travis on the road to find out.

Nu-metal may be old news but Fred Durst’s Limp Bizkit still drew a sizeable crowd to the main stage on Sunday. Even more had gathered by the time Blink 182 appeared. The Californian trio, who reached the peak of their powers around the turn of the millennium, seemed a strange choice of headliner. However, finely crafted pop-punk songs such as What’s My Age Again? were greeted with gusto from a crowd more than happy to party like it was 1999.

A slow start but a strong finish.

Recension från Reading

Nedan är någon sorts recension från konserten i Reading igår:

Blink-182 goaded Guns N’ Roses during their Main Stage headline set at Reading Festival tonight (August 29).

Early into their set, frontmen Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppusreferenced Axl Rose and co’s chaotic Friday night set at the event’s southern site.

“I’m sorry you guys missed out onGuns N’ Roses on Friday night,”Hoppus said. “But Tom’s going to play the intro to ’Sweet Child O’ Mine’.”

DeLonge then attempted to play the song, though after trying he said: “I haven’t practised it! Axl Rose is naked with my dad.”

The band had to warn the audience not to get crushed after playing ’The Rock Show’, and briefly stopped their set.

Elsewhere, they repeated sections of stage banter from last night’s headline set at Leeds Festival, withDeLongeteasing Jedward and saying he wanted to “go down onBarack Obama”.

With Muse drummer Dominic Howard watching from the side of the stage, the band also said theReading crowd was better thanLeeds’.

“I’m not saying this because we’re here tonight, but Reading kicks the shit out of Leeds,” said DeLonge.

Blink-182 played:

‘Dumpweed’
‘Feeling This’
‘The Rock Show’
‘What’s My Age Again?’
‘Violence’
‘I Miss You’
‘Stay Together’
‘Down’
‘Always’
‘Stockholm’
‘First Date’
‘Man Over Board’
‘Don’t Leave Me’
‘Not Now’
‘All The Small Things’
‘Reckless Abandon’

Mark pratar om det nya albumet

Blink-182 bassist/singer Mark Hoppus told Spinner in a new interview that work will resume on a long-awaited new album after they return home from their first U.K. tour since reforming in early 2009. Hoppus said, “As soon as we get back from this tour we are continuing recording. Our goal is to turn it into the label by the end of the year, but we’ll see how the recording goes. It could be sooner, or it could be a little later — but the most important thing to us is to write a record that we absolutely believe in.”

Asked what the record will sound like, Hoppus replied. “I think it’ll probably be the next step beyond the last Blink-182 record. I think we’ll always have a strong sense of melody and catchiness to our songs — but we also want to try new things, but still keep Blink-182 as it’s always been.”

Blink reunited after a four-year hiatus, the band reconciling in part because of drummer Travis Barker’s brush with death in a September 2008 plane crash.

Despite a successful reunion tour last summer and talk of new music, the band’s first album since 2003 has yet to materialize.

Frontman Tom DeLonge issued a new record earlier this year from his other band, Angels & Airwaves, while Barker will release his solo debut this fall.

Hoppus told Spinner that the band has spent more time touring than working on a new record because “we wanted to get back to the point where we are a proper band, and not just three guys in the studio.”

When asked if he thinks the punk trio is still relevant, Hoppus said, “Yeah I absolutely do . . . I was actually really humbled and surprised and floored at how great the reaction was when Blink-182 reformed. We didn’t know if people would still care.”
