Blink-182 promise modern new album in time for UK dates

Blink-182 guitarist Tom Delonge has been talking to Rolling Stone about the band's forthcoming new album.

I want to make sure we don't lose that angst, I want to take that and deliver it in a package that's very modern, using instrumentations and formulas to launch you into different places with music that is not just three-chord pop-punk with riffs. What we can do now is take the essence of what Blink-182 was and really make it into something that has a crescendo. That's what excites me.

Delonge and his band's aim is to have the record released before the string of UK dates in the summer.

We will not tour if there is no new record," he said boldly. "The goal is to finish and squeeze it out at the very last minute so people have the new songs in time for the dates. The album will be great, I promise you that, I think its gonna be what everyone wants it to be; it will be fun and full of attitude but the songs are super relevant and giant sounding. Think Blink but stadium rock.

Blink 182 tickets are available online
