BLINK 182 Back Together--Album and Tour Coming!

 

  Either the stories about how badly they get along are exaggerated, or they've found a way to set differences aside, because BLINK 182 have announced that they are officially "back together!"

  According to a note on their website, the band members are "picking up where we left off, and then some.  In the studio writing and recording a new album.  Preparing to tour the world yet again.  Friendships reformed.  17 years deep in our legacy."

  I saw these guys on their final tour as a band, and they were still a great, if somewhat loose, live show.  I have no doubt that they will be able to jump right back in where they left off, and we ar Radio Free Cruze are pretty damned excited about new Blink music!

  Here's a great interview with MARK HOPPUS at Alternative Press that sheds a little light on how the reunion came about.

  No word on the future of +44 or ANGELS AND AIRWAVES.  We'll keep you posted.
