AbsolutePunk interviews Chris Holmes

Posted on in +44, blink-182, Neighborhoods | Leave a comment

From Absolutepunk.com:

We recently had the chance to talk with Chris Holmes, the co-producer and engineer behind Blink-182‘s new album Neighborhoods. One of the goals of the interview was to look behind the scenes at how the album itself was recorded. I know a lot of people are interested in the techniques used and what the recording process itself was like for the first new blink songs in years. Huge thank you to Chris for doing this with us – make sure to follow him on twitter and check out his official website.

Could you outline what your role in recording Neighborhoods was? 

I served as a co-producer and engineer on the whole record (along with Critter), and as a mixer on “Heart’s All Gone Interlude”, “Heart’s All Gone” (album version), “Kaleidoscope”, “Fighting the Gravity”, and “Love is Dangerous”.

Mark blogged:

the return of blink-182 to the stage!!! t-mobile threw a big party at the paramount lot here in los angeles to launch their new sidekick, and they asked us to play. the whole thing was a secret. travis and dj-am were already scheduled to perform, and as a surprise ending, blink-182 came out at the very end and played a few songs. during the night, weezer performed and played the hits, along with a few covers. TRVS/DJ-AM dominated (as they always do), and then we played. to be honest, it was one of the best nights of my life. thanks to everyone who was there. thanks to t-mobile. and most of all, thanks to travis and tom. you are my brothers, and it feels amazing to share the stage with you once again.

here are some photos from throughout the day and night.
