So the EP is called Dogs Eating Dogs. What can you actually tell me about the songs?

I can tell you there’s a song called “Dog Eating Dogs.” There’s a song called “Disaster,” but that might change. There’s a song called “The Day After Christmas” [now called “Boxing Day” –ed.] and it’s this folky, acoustic-guitar thing. It’s different than anything Blink have ever done. Travis played on this electronic drum kit behind it, so it’s got this real kind of indie, strange, cool vibe to it. It’s catchy and it makes you want to dance. “Dog Eating Dogs” is very punk rock [with] aggressive guitars. Tom wrote a song called “I Got My Eye On You” that’s about his wife; it’s a love song. [The EP is] kind of all over the place, but we're always like that.

Ah well this

would explain my initial thought of this

quote:
Travis' drums sound like they are just electronic drums created on a keyboard.

Well I am happy to know that he is actually playing and didn't just create a beat and constantly looped it over the song. I can't stand when bands do that.

I still don't know how I feel about the song. It obviously is different than anything they have ever done. They've had accoustic songs before but never with the synth backgrounds and electric drums.

But I certainly applaud the guys for changing things up a bit. I really liked the new sound they brought with Neighborhoods (kind of a harder more uptempo version of AVA) and wished they kept in that direction. But I will get the new album regardless so can't wait to hear the rest.
