Those with Blink 182 tickets to hear 'expansive' new material?
Fans with Blink 182 tickets to the band's upcoming UK tour could hear material from their new album, currently being recorded.
Speaking to MTV News, Blink 182's Mark Hoppus described the new album's sound as "expansive", combining songs that hark back to the band's earlier records with tracks branching into new styles.
He also said it may contain "dark" elements, reflecting some of the troubling times the band has experienced recently, such as the deaths of longtime producer Jerry Finn and friends Chris Baker and DJ AM.
"I think in moments it will [be dark]. We're still just barely getting into the whole writing process. We have about three or four songs done. I wouldn't say it's going to be a dark record; I think it's really an expansive record," he said.
"There's stuff that sounds like what we were doing on the last Blink record, and there's stuff that sounds like what we were doing 10 years ago and stuff that we've never done before."
Blink 182 start a UK tour on July 1st at the NIA in Birmingham.
