Staff Writer
Originally Appeared In

Blink-182 bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus has stated in a recent interview that he has already began writing new material for a new Blink-182 release. Hoppus said: "I’m sure these will all be Blink songs at the moment. I don’t have any plans to write songs with anybody else right now. If I do, it’ll be a collaboration or a one-off thing, but everything I’m writing right now is for Blink-182." ... "It’s really too early to tell. At the moment all I’ve got is a bunch of chord progressions and ideas. It’s more me playing my guitar and coming up with little ideas and melodies. By the time it goes to Tom and Travis and we work on it as a band, who knows what it will sound like."
