Richard Smirke, writing for Billboard:

Music IP investment company Hipgnosis Songs has begun 2020 in much the same way that it spent the past 18 months — by making a major catalog acquisition.

This time it’s 157 songs by former Blink-182 singer and songwriter Tom DeLonge.

The musician left the pop-punk trio in 2015.
