Blink-182 Working On Next Album

01/26/2012
. (Gibson) Although Blink-182 have been on a break since their summer tour, and the release of their new record Neighborhoods, the band have designs on their next record. Bassist Mark Hoppus said that while guitarist Tom DeLonge has been touring with side project Angels and Airwaves, he's been putting together new songs.

"I'm sure these will all be Blink songs at the moment," Hoppus told Kerrang! "I don't have any plans to write songs with anybody else right now. If I do, it'll be a collaboration or a one-off thing, but everything I'm writing right now is for Blink-182."

Hoppus said that the songs are in the early stages and likely will change plenty when the entire band begins working on them. "It's really too early to tell. At the moment all I've got is a bunch of chord progressions and ideas," he said. "It's more me playing my guitar and coming up with little ideas and melodies. By the time it goes to Tom and Travis [Barker] and we work on it as a band, who knows what it will sound like." more on this story
