Over 30 new acts announced for Reading & Leeds 2024
This year’s Reading & Leeds has gotten bigger, with the likes of Kid Kapichi, Frozemode, Dead Poet Society, Bears In Trees and more joining the line-up…
But what’s it going to sound like?
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: new blink-182 music is arriving next month. Oh yes.
According to KROQ, the Matt Skiba-fronted pop-punks are currently narrowing down 50 recorded songs for their as-yet-untitled new record, with KROQ music director Lisa Worden – who has heard eight new blink tracks – stating that fans should be “ecstatic” when they hear the music.
“The music I heard rocks,” Lisa says. “It sounds like blink but it’s not anything that we’ve heard before. For fans of the band, they’re going to be super-happy with it. It starts with Travis’ unmistakable drumming – it’s just that signature blink sound – you immediately know who it is.”
Lisa also revealed that the eight blink-182 she was treated to were mostly Mark Hoppus on vocals, with Matt Skiba on harmonies. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
