Blink-182 releases album information, talks Honda Civic Tour
This past week, Blink-182 announced the deadline date for completing their upcoming album. According to an interview done with MTV.com, Mark Hoppus, the band’s frontman and bass player, confirmed that the album will be done no later than July 31 of this year.Yes fans, this year.
"We absolutely have to turn the record in by July 31 — that's the rule," Hoppus said when asked about the deadline.
The band has been in the studio for the past few months in between Tom Delonge touring with his other band Angels and Airwaves, Travis Barker touring for his new solo album Give The Drummer Some, which released in mid-March, and Hoppus flying back and forth from New York to do his FuseTV television show “Hoppus on Music.”
Even through their busy family lives and “work” schedules, the trio has been able to post several updates from the studio, including Hoppus leaking pictures of possible lyrics for the upcoming album on his Facebook page. When asked about how far the band is along with their recording, Barker estimated that the album is over 70% done.
The main rush to finish the album by that date is now mainly due to their upcoming tour they have signed onto. Blink-182 has planned a 40-plus date trek across the U.S. on the Honda Civic Tour with co-headliners My Chemical Romance. The tour came into fruition when Delonge went to see a My Chemical Romance show in his hometown of San Diego and met up with Frank Iero, guitarist of MCR, and asked them if they would tour with Blink in the upcoming year.
This year will mark the 10th anniversary of the Honda Civic Tour, which Blink-182 actually inaugurated back in 2001, touring with Sum 41 and Alkaline Trio. Fans, mark your calendars for a tentative release date and check out a tour date near year.
As the boys in Blink say, this is the year of the rabbit.
