Tom DeLonge Calls Upcoming Blink-182 LP Their ‘Most Progressive’ and ‘Elevated,’ Fans React
The past week has been extremely exciting for Blink-182 fans, as the newly reunited classic trio announced their extensive reunion tour and shared their first new song with Tom DeLonge (“Edging”). Now, DeLonge has shared some surprising and intriguing insights into what we can expect from their follow-up to 2019’s Nine.
Yesterday (Oct. 15), the founding guitarist/vocalist took to Twitter to tease a couple details regarding the band’s upcoming (and currently unnamed) new studio LP.
As you can see from his tweet below, he claims that it’ll have “some of the most progressive, and elevated music” they’ve “ever had.” He added: “In honesty, I am holding my breath for you to hear these other songs. Edging is fun, and a perfect way to remind u of the fun again. But just u fucking wait.”
Naturally, his post has received thousands of retweets and likes over the last 24 hours, as well as hundreds of quote tweets. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of replies have shown a ton of support and anticipation.
Check out a few of the most enthusiastic ones below:
Of course, it's been over a decade since DeLonge, bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker last worked together (on 2012’s Dogs Eating Dogs EP). If “Edging” is any indication, whatever they’re cooking up next is sure to be worth the wait!
As for DeLonge’s former replacement, Matt Skiba (who’s been with the group since 2015), he recently responded positively to learning about the end of his time with Blink-182.
