Mark Hoppus Gives Hint at Sound of New Blink-182 Songs

Blink-182

Mark Hoppus has commented on Twitter that Blink-182 are working on new music, and while it’s early, it sounds like, “they pick up where Take Off Your Pants and Jacket left off.”

My thoughts? Darker and more riff-based/faster/poppy stuff like TOYPAJ sounds great to me. The biggest hurdle isn’t melodies (Mark’s so good at this) or Feldmann’s production or instrumentation (Matt should feel more comfortable bringing guitar parts to this album) … it’ll be the lyrical content and if they decide to take it up a notch and write about stuff that’s deeper than what they did last time. Make it matter and have some weight. If Mark and Matt do that, I think it’ll be great. If they don’t, the songs will suffer.

Page Six:

Infamous Fyre Festival promoter Billy McFarland may have neglected to budget for toilets, but he still managed to drop more than $150,000 on a yacht for the band Blink-182, according to documents obtained by The Post.

McFarland — who’s facing wire fraud charges and a rash of civil cases over the nightmarish music festival in the Bahamas that ended up serving cold cheese sandwiches and forcing guests to live in tents — shelled out $160,000 for the planned headliner’s perk last April, according to his bank statements and a federal source with intimate knowledge of the case.

There’s going to be a nuts documentary made about this entire thing in a few years.

Travis Barker of Blink-182 revealed on Kevin & Bean that he is working on a new documentary as a counterpart to his autobiography. He also mentions this is why he was hanging out with Tom DeLonge recently:

So four people were interviewed to create this trailer. It was Mark Hoppus, my dad, and Tom Delonge.

I haven’t really said anything. It’s been in the works. It’s the same people who did Steve Aoki’s documentary. We started talking with them a while back about being inspired by the book but then digging deeper.
