Blink 182 bassist and singer Mark Hoppus has spoken about their much anticipated new album in an interview with MTV.

"We've gone through a lot of really heavy stuff over the past few years. ... There's plenty of heavy stuff to write about. I think in moments it will [be dark]. We're still just barely getting into the whole writing process. We have about three or four songs done."

"I wouldn't say it's going to be a dark record; I think it's really an expansive record. There's stuff that sounds like what we were doing on the last Blink record, and there's stuff that sounds like what we were doing 10 years ago and stuff that we've never done before."

Blink 182 reunited in 2009, and have done various tours across the world since. The band's last album was their self-titled full length which was released in 2003.
