Blink 182 are back together, after announcing on Monday that they intended to end their hiatus which began back in 2005. As the band themselves said: “To put it simply, we’re back.”
The pop-punk trio released a direct, matter-of-fact statement through their record company, Interscope, one that acknowledged the many “questions about the current status of the band"--questions that had been persistent since 2005, but became especially pertinent after Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker sustained serious injuries in a plane crash that had killed four others.
But lest there be any doubt, the Poway, CA-based band, known for playing sardonic, bratty brand of punk with a hint of pop sensibility and songcraft, stated that they’re “really back.” In the statement, the band said that they were “picking up where we left off and then some...[we’re] in the studio writing and recording a new album.”
Also announced were preparation for a world tour, and a somewhat cryptic note that hinted that past animosities were exactly that--past. The band asked for fans to “get ready” for “Summer 2009.”
No word yet on exact tour dates, or any album information aside from intended plans.
