After the show, Alex Gaskarth made a simple tweet about the song.

The new song comes shortly after Gaskarth shared when the band will start working on their next album.
Gaskarth says that this summer will provide a “nice window” for the guys to begin their next endeavor. With blink-182 taking on some hefty ventures of their own, such as their massive tour with Lil Wayne and Neck Deep, Gaskarth’s project with frontman Mark Hoppus, Simple Creatures, will be taking a bit of a breather.
“We are kicking music around. We are sending ideas back and forth. We are starting to get into the nitty gritty of it,” Gaskarth says.
“I think in the summer when blink gets busy and we put the pin in Simple Creatures for the minute, there’s going to be a nice window of time for all four of us get together, get in a room and start looking at the demos I’ve written, and breaking those down.”
Gaskarth goes on to say that work on their next album will likely take place during 2019 and 2020, as he said in a previous interview.
“Also, just start writing as the four of us again, and figuring out what the next version of All Time Low is going to sound like, which is super-exciting right now. Coming off the tail-end of Last Young Renegades, which was a little pocket universe of a record for us, I think it will be really cool to break out of that and kinda get back into what makes All Time Low, All Time Low, and figuring out what that is in 2019/2020.”
As far as Waterparks, they played their new song “Turbulent” live for the first time at Slam Dunk.
Prior to taking the stage, the band posted a tweet announcing their merch sold out insanely fast.
