Blink 182 eye new album release date

Blink 182 bassist / vocalist Mark Hoppus has revealed that the band's long awaited follow up to their 2003 self titled album will be released early next year.

"We have a date for the completion of the album," says Hoppus. "We want to deliver the record in April or May, for release very soon afterward. That's our goal. That's what we're all working toward."

But don't get too excited just yet Blink fans. If the as-yet-untitled album doesn't meet be band's high standards, it might go back.

"The only thing more important to us than getting the record out in that time is getting a GREAT record out," continues Hoppus. "If it isn't absolutely ready at that point, we'll keep working until it is. But that's the plan. Everything is starting to coalesce, and it's very exciting to begin the next chapter of Blink 182."

@Nathan.. You saw them live on the TV? Theres a big difference seeing them on TV... than actually seeing them live the whole experince. some off my friends saw them in Aberdeen also saw them @Reading & they said they wer e mindblowing x )

@Nathan the gig in reading I went and saw them and honestly they fucking rcoked. I watched that same show i saw live at reading festival i saw on TV and it sounds different. But they are fucking amazing live., not on tv. tv productions are always enhanced, seeing them live and raw is different. see them live then make an opinion

I can't wait to see them again.
