Pop-punk kings Blink-182 have revealed that their seventh studio album 'Neighborhoods' will be an extremely diverse record. Guitarist Tom DeLonge has even suggested that there will be "prog rock" songs on the new album.

In an interview with Jam Showbiz, the band said 'Neighborhoods', trio's first album since their 2003 self-titled LP will have some "madly different and experimental" moments.

DeLonge said: "There’s a lot of new elements. We have these songs that are total throwbacks, exactly what people would know of what Blink is. But then we have these songs that are madly different and experimental. And then we have songs that are like prog- rock Blink. So I really think that we have a tremendous, diverse palette on this. And what’s really cool too is because of the way it was recorded, all the songs sound so different from each other."

He said the trio has enjoyed playing their early material again:

"It transports you back to a time when you just had so much angst and you need to change things up in your young adult life or teenage life and that’s the best thing about this band: It’s like eternal youth."

Mark Hoppus opened up about the band's reconnection, admitting that it wasn't an instant thing and it took time for the band to work up the courage to go back into the studio together.

He said: "It took a while to get to that point. It took, first of all, reconnecting as friends after not having spoken for about five years and then it took getting back into the studio, as well as getting back out on the road. After not really having worked together or even been friends for a few years, it took a couple of months to kind of find that this is how it all works."

'Neighborhoods' is out on September 26 but the lead single, 'Up All Night' is available now.

The band is currently touring North America with My Chemical Romance and will tour the UK next summer.
