Blink 182 To Release EP In December

Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus has recently revealed that the band are hoping to release a 5-track EP set for release on December 18th. He has had the following to say to MTV on the matter:

“The EP will be something fun and funny for the holidays. But the music is the most important thing by far, and we are truly excited for people to hear new music.

This kind of agility is exactly what we were looking for, post-label. We have ideas for songs, we get into a studio and put the ideas together, grind hard, chase that paper, and weeks later we release the songs on our own. I spent last week in the studio with Travis and Tom. It was great, ideas falling everywhere. Lots of long hours spent on five new songs.
The band is in a great place creatively. Having everyone in the same room at the same time makes all the difference for us.”
