Dogs Eating Dogs lmao, makes sense being their first recordings/record since 1994 as an independent band.

quote:

"To me already, this EP is a hundred times better than Neighborhoods," says Barker, referring to the band's 2011 reunion album. "Because we're all in a room together." The trio recorded nearly all of Neighborhoods remotely, emailing the tracks back and forth to each other. "There's some songs on there that I love, but for the most part it was disconnected," Barker recalls. "It was like, 'You do this part in your studio, and then you're gonna play on it and send it back to me.' When we're not in the studio together, you don't have the opportunity to gel off each other."



Doesn't really seem like the band liked Neighborhoods too much at all, they split with their label they've had their entire careers and recorded the album through emails, which is crazy.

I still hate the fact that Tom went from this:



to this:




I get it, he grew up and wanted to be perceived as more mature, but he laid it on way too fricking thick and now he thinks he is Bono. He and Mark were genuinely these cool guys that were funny as frick. Mark is 40 now and while he is clearly different from his prime-Blink self (1999-2003), he is still funny and cool as shite.

I am ecstatic though that Tom has re-fallen in love with Blink again the past four months.

I agree, but I still love early AvA.

I love this too, but I also question how much of it is him realizing AvA is quickly dying, which would explain why AvA's new EP launches the same day as Blink's new EP, hoping people will pick up both at the same time IMO. Love Part II bombed pretty badly, then their drummer left the band, etc.

Ideally, he's found his passion again for Blink type music, this new EP will be the shite, and propel them into making a kickass album when they enter the studio in February to start on the new LP.

I saw they Announced something new coming this December a week or so ago, but this is the first definite thing I've heard.

That might have something to do with it, but I think it has more to do with the band going independent and fully repairing his friendships with Mark and Travis.
