Blink-182 tease deluxe edition of 'California': 'It's almost a whole other record'

Pop-punk legends Blink-182 have revealed that the deluxe edition of their latest album 'California' is almost "a whole other record".

Chatting to Billboard about the new version of the album, Mark Hoppus explained that there are some brand new tracks on the offering that showcase a complete range of sounds and styles:

“It’s almost, it’s more than a whole other record, it’s a double album at this point and it’s more of an extension of what we did in the studio earlier."

He added: “Some of the songs were songs that we did not put on the first album, but are great songs. And some are brand new that we just wrote last week, a lot of high-energy songs, punk rock, some more ballad-y songs, a little more electronic experimentation, it’s a good mix. It’s not a collection of throwaway songs, it’s like a whole other album.”

Blink-182, meanwhile, will return to the UK next summer for a series of arena shows and their schedule can be seen here:

  • Cardiff, Motorpoint Arena (July 3, 2017)
