BLINK-182, who just recently got dropped from Interscope Records, have announced that they will be back in the studio to begin recording their new album in February. However, they have stated that they don’t know how to distribute it since they don’t have a label anymore.
About the new record, bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus told MTV News that the band would “continue writing through the end of the year … and begin recording after our tour of Australia in February.” Discussing the split from Interscope he added:
The reasons for us not working together are many and varied, but mostly we wish them luck in everything in their future, and thank those there who’ve worked so hard on Blink-182 throughout the years. As far as labels, to be honest, we’ve been holding our breath waiting for final word from the attorneys that our contract with Interscope had ended. Now the future’s a wide-open door. We’re lucky to be in a position where, after 20 years in our band, we can be independent and open to all options. It’s a very exciting time here. I feel like our band is in the best place it’s been in a long time. I mean, just look at my hair!
