Mark Hoppus Finds Rare ‘Dude Ranch’ Material

Jason Tate May 26, 2022

Apparently Mark Hoppus found some rare Dude Ranch-era material, according to a fan report from his Discord:

This week on his Discord, he said that he finally came into possession of the multitrack master reels for Dude Ranch, which we all believed were burned in the warehouse fire a few years ago. This morning, Mark said that there are recordings of 2 non-album songs. One is labeled “Voyeur 2” and one is “Don Keydick.” He is still in Italy so he’s not able to listen to them yet, but he believes “Don Keydick” is the second non-album song that was on the Dude Ranch demo tape.
