Get ready for some fantastic news, Blink-182 fans! Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker are making a triumphant return with their first collaborative album in over a decade. Titled “One More Time…,” this highly anticipated record is scheduled to drop on October 20 via Columbia. But that’s not all; the title track single, “One More Time,” is set to hit the airwaves this Thursday, September 21, at 10 a.m. Eastern.
The recently released trailer for the album sheds light on the emotional journey that led to the creation of “One More Time.” Travis Barker explains in the trailer that the song reflects on the question, “Why does it take catastrophic events, like me being in a plane crash or Mark falling ill, for our band to reunite?” It’s a poignant insight into the band’s struggles and their unbreakable bond.
Tom DeLonge adds, “With the words ‘One More Time,’ it’s like saying, ‘This is our final chance to get this right.'” The sentiment behind the title hints at a band that’s not just reuniting but also aiming for a fresh start.
Travis Barker, renowned not just for his drumming skills but also for his production prowess, took on the role of producer for “One More Time….” This album marks a significant moment in Blink-182’s history, as it follows their previous two albums, “California” (2016) and “Nine” (2019), which featured guitarist Matt Skiba.
Fans were treated to an unexpected surprise in April when Blink-182 made a sensational appearance at Coachella. The classic lineup graced both weekends of the festival and even headlined the second weekend after Frank Ocean had to withdraw. This reunion marked a monumental moment as it was the classic lineup’s first performance together since 2015, reigniting the excitement among fans.
Blink-182 had originally planned to tour South America a month prior, but they had to postpone the dates due to Barker’s finger surgery. More recently, the band had to delay tour dates again, citing a family matter – specifically, Barker’s wife, Kourtney Kardashian, underwent surgery. Fortunately, Barker has rejoined the tour, and fans can once again look forward to their electrifying live performances.
The buzz around Blink-182’s return started earlier this month with cryptic videos and posters popping up, directing fans to the band’s website. On the website, a digital clock counted down to 9:21, corresponding to today’s date, building anticipation for this exciting announcement.
So, mark your calendars for October 20, because “One More Time…” is bound to be a game-changer for Blink-182 and a treat for fans who have been eagerly waiting for their return.
