Mark Hoppus says Blink-182 will start writing for their new album by the end of this year

As Blink-182 fans anxiously await the release of the deluxe edition of California, it looks like we have more new music to look forward to as well. In an interview with Beats 1, Mark Hoppus told Zane Lowe that by the end of this year, the band will already begin writing for their next album.

“We’re doing this run in the US, then later on we’re touring Europe and the UK. Then we come back and do some more dates in the US,” Hoppus says. “Then we’ll take a little bit of time off, and then at the end of this year, we’ll go back into the studio and start writing the next album.”

In addition to talking about life on the road and their whirlwind of a year following the release of California, Hoppus explains that the creative flow is happening, so it just makes sense that they keep the ball rolling as they look ahead to new music.

“We have such a positive energy going on right now and such a creative flow and everybody has such good ideas, and we want to tap into that,” Hoppus says.

Check out the full interview with Beats 1 below.
