Mark’s Quickfire Q&A With NME

Posted on in blink-182, Mark Hoppus | 3 Comments


Mark sheds light on tension in the band, his friendship with Tom and more:

Hello, Mark. You and the rest of Blink recorded your new album ‘Neighborhoods’ in separate studios. Should we assume, then, that relations are still a bit rocky?
“Oh no! What we would do is we would exchange ideas, we’d record the outlines, the skeletons of songs, and then Tom [DeLonge, guitarist/singer] would take ideas to his studio in San Diego and Travis [Barker, drummer] and I would take ideas to our studio in Los Angeles and we would work on them, then we’d meet up, either later that week, or in a couple of weeks, depending. Then we’d listen to each other’s ideas, make comments and go from there.”

But did it not feel a bit… weird?
“That’s the tension we need in Blink. I think it is the way forward for us. It’s the way we can all work together and explore all of our ideas. In the past, when we’ve all been in the same room, you’re recording your parts while the other guys are sitting around waiting and this way enables each of us to explore every single idea we might have, in our own time, in our own comfort space. One of us will have an idea and then the other one will suggest something different and want to change it. That tension is what makes Blink sound like Blink.”

Mark Hoppus Comments On The Leak Of ‘Neighborhoods’

Posted on in blink-182, Mark Hoppus, Neighborhoods | 5 Comments

Yes, ‘Neighborhoods’ has leaked. No, you won’t find it here. Be sure to pre-order the record. It’s only right to support the band we all love so much.

Mark posted the following comments on his Google+ profile:

“Natives, after midnight, MH 4.18.2011, kaleidoscope, and wishing well are the songs written after the postponement of the tour.

Yes, it’s (‘Hearts All Gone’) a different mix.

No, it wasn’t us. from what i can determine, it looks like it leaked in russia first. i fell asleep at 4am, and for no reason woke up at 7, with a weird premonition. i checked my twitter and there it was.”
