Blink 182 are back to smash the summer with their new album California on the 182nd day of the year, 1st July, how convenient!
The band paid a visit to KROQ to announce the album’s tracklist and a North American tour alongside All Time Low, A Day to Remember and the All-American Rejects. It is the first album for the pop-punk trio since Neighbourhoods in 2011 and noticeably the first album without founding guitarist Tom DeLonge.
The rich new album includes big anthems, sing-along melodies and fun rock tunes. It will also have an element of classic Blink 182 style but will be upgraded for pop culture fans too, catering for a variety of tastes. Powerhouse producer, John Feldmann, who fronted Goldfinger and has been working alongside Blink on the new album, explains, “It needed to be something in the new zone, a new band, but keeping the legacy going because I love Blink. I want that fun.”
His wife Amy also adds, “When I think of Blink, I think of going to have a good time and partying and having a great, fun show.”
The band will be introducing an element of dubstep with their punk rock style to really crank up the summer vibes. So expect big things from them this season to meet all of our partying needs.
