Blink-182's new Dogs Eating Dogs EP is now available for pre-order on iTunes. I've been listening to it the past few days, and as a huge Blink fan, I'm not let down at all. Took a few listens for it to all set in, getting new Blink music still feels like it shouldn't be happening. There's a lot of dual vocals (although definitely more Tom centric), and a lot of energy ... fans of the band's last two albums are going to love it. I think that "Dogs Eating Dogs" and "Pretty Little Girl" are the two stand-outs ... although the weird spoken/rap part of the latter is taking some getting used to.
Because its been at least a week since we've had any Blink-182 news: Mark Hoppus has posted a picture of himself in the recording studio, it looks like more songs are being recorded.
Update: According to a poster in the replies, this is additional harmonies being recorded, not new tunes.
Mark Hoppus has finally released the first shirt from his new clothing line. He will continue to release limited edition shirts every week until New Years, when the store will officially be open.
Dear anyone listening ... what the hell is going on with the Blink 182 EP pre-orders? They were up yesterday afternoon like promised, for like 10 minutes, then got pulled without any explanation. Someone ... anyone ... Bueller? What's going on?
Blink 182 will be releasing its new EP on December 18th. Mark Hoppus tells MTV News that he isn't "sure how many songs will make the final EP ... hopefully all five, but we'll make the final determination when the mixes are complete." More details, including what to expect with the pre-order, can be read here.
Since we haven't posted muchnews about Blink 182 news in the past few days, I thought I'd whet your palate with some artwork teasers of the band's upcoming EP in the replies.
According to Mark Hoppus' tweet, Blink-182 are recording some new songs this week. And ... all three of them will be in the same room, so at least we can avoid some of those idiotic comments after the next album.
Future Idiots have re-recorded Blink 182's Neighborhoods in its entirety "to demonstrate how the original record should have sounded." Check it out here. Do you think it's an improvement?
At Mark Hoppus' talk at the Oxford University Union last night, Mark stated in the post talk Q&A that Tom was due to start pre-production on the new Blink 182 album this week. They are also aiming to get it out by this time next year and that they were going to try to record as much as possible together.
Tom Delonge just posted a picture of a studio on instagram with the caption, "Anyone interested in new Blink-182 music? How about the album of our career? 10-9-8-7." Boom.
