The rock band release another teaser for their highly anticipated album ONE MORE TIME
Pop punk fans will be pleased to hear that blink-182 have dropped another teaser for ONE MORE TIME, set for release on October 20th. After a surprise appearance at Coachella in April of 2023, blink-182 have been tantalising fans with the promise of a new album since.
The title-track 'One More Time' dropped in September of this year with an official nostalgia-fuelled music directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada. The music video sees the band's original line up reunited for the first time in 7 years, consisting of Travis Barker on drums, bassist Marcus Hoppus and guitarist Tom DeLonge. The reuniting of the original line up was brought about after Hoppus was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma in 2021, acting as a catalyst for the band to resolve their old disputes. 'One More Time' was accompanied by another surprise track 'More Than You Know'.
The first album trailer, released September 21st, shows the band being interviewed by Zane Lowe for Apple Music and includes current and archival clips of the rock trio. The second trailer follows in the same vein with the same sentimental overture. It features Zane Lowe describing the upcoming album ONE MORE TIME as being like: 'Enema (Enema of the State) if Enema grew up'. There is an overarching sentimentality to both videos with a sincere sense that the band has been through a lot as both individuals and as a group, and have come out the other side with some hard earned wisdom.
The Apple Music interview is set for release October 18th.
ONE MORE TIME was recorded on their recent international blockbuster reunion tour, which sold out arenas, amphitheatres, and stadiums globally. Produced by Travis Barker, ONE MORE TIME… will feature 17 new songs and if the singles are anything to go by, it will be an album full of songs dealing with joy, tragedy, friendship and nostalgia. Blink-182 classics.
