Blink

#167.3 – May 2010

ENTER THE MASTERS OF DISASTOUR

Green Day and Blink-182 have teamed up for Pop Disaster, a road show that’s poised to be the loudest and snottiest concert in recent rock history. Matt Ryan blows the breeze with Billie Joe Armstrong and Mark Hoppus on everything from the tour itself to the enhanced meaning of the term “all-ages.”

Weezer founder Rivers Cuomo looks forward to a future where record labels will be extinct and great rock will rule the land. And the clothes don’t look bad, either. 



THE BREEDERS

After a whole lotta setbacks and mishaps, the Deal sisters finally grace the world with the follow-up to their 1993 album, Last Splash. Now whom will we make fun of in our future Most Anticipated Records issues?
