Hi

Sorry about the radio silence on this blog. Life got pretty rough on me for a while there and I’m still recovering. I hope to get things back on track here soon enough.

That said if you’ve got free time and would like to give me a hand running things here please do shoot me a message. Thank you.

California (Deluxe) out now at http://blink182.com The video for “Home is Such a Lonely Place” was probably the easiest we’ve ever filmed. All we had to do was be ourselves at home with our family and friends, as we prepared to leave for tour. Consequently, it’s also our most personal and honest videos, and one of my favorites. blink-182 merch store http://bit.ly/2eqdq6j We’re on tour now, check our website for tickets in your city at http://bit.ly/2nwd1Cn Prod Co: Decon Director: Jason Goldwatch Exec Prod: Misha Louy Line Producer: Chris Lopez Camera Asst: Tre Hype Production Assistant: JaColbi Johnson Editor: Jason Goldwatch Camera & Telecine: Pro8mm Follow The Band http://bit.ly/1YJ0WWd http://twitter.com/blink182 http://bit.ly/27IbKdq http://youtube.com/blink182 http://bit.ly/1YJ0WWh http://bit.ly/2nwd3dt

Music interview: Matt Skiba of Blink-182 on anniversaries, accolades and song writing inspiration

Proclaimed the most influential American punk pop band of their generation, Blink-182 have had an eventful history over the course of the last 25 years.

Their most recent album, California, sees Matt Skiba step to the fore as the group’s guitarist and co-vocalist following the departure founding member Tom DeLonge.

For the 41-year-old Chicagoan, who is also continuing to front his own long-running band Alkaline Trio, the record marks a new chapter for Blink-182.

“It definitely solidified my position in this band,” he says of an album which has just been re-released in a deluxe edition to coincide with their UK tour.

“I would say that the three of with John Feldmann [who produced the album] everyone was fully invested and fully present, including myself, and I’m very proud of my contributions to the record and my place in Blink. It’s my first record with Blink so it’s really huge.”

Matt Skiba talked with Ultimate Guitar about writing and recording with Blink-182:

I would bring a song into the studio, we’d work on it or I would send a very crude demo to Mark and Travis and then go in the next day and kind of learn it and everybody bring their own thing to it. We would track it at Travis’ studio.

We were doing this for several months. The songs were good. It was cool but it didn’t sound like Blink. The songs I was bringing in sounded like [Alkaline Trio].

Please consider supporting us so we can keep bringing you stories like this one.

PRE-ORDER NOW AT http://blink182.com This is the strangest song blink have ever recorded. It’s in 6/8 time. It’s aggressive and one of our favorites from the deluxe because of it.

Alkaline Trio founder/Blink-182 guitarist Matt Skiba has one sticker on his car, a logo of original groundbreaking British punk band the Damned. He also has the phrase “Love Song,” the title of a crucial track from said band’s essential third album, Machine Gun Etiquette, tattooed on his hands. So who better to chat up Dave Vanian, the cool AF frontman (and only constant) in the British punk institution as they begin an extensive American tour celebrating the reissue of their 1977 debut album, Damned Damned Damned?

Guitarist Matt Skiba recently discussed replacing Tom DeLonge in Blink-182, telling UG interviewer Steven Rosen:

"Tom and I have such different styles of playing. We both grew up on a lot of the same bands but just as songwriters and as players, I really had to kind of relearn the guitar. "There were things he did that were really cool and just genius ideas I would never think to play or I've never played."
