Blink-182 has been out of the spotlight for quite a while now. However, that doesn’t mean that they haven’t been recording some awesome music in the studio. The trio which consists of Mark Hoppus (vocalist), Travis Barker (drummer) and new group member Matt Skiba (vocalist), who replaces founding guitarist Tom DeLonge. That is to say fans have been questioning DeLonge’s decision for quitting. Some speculate that the reason for him bailing out of the band was due to boredom. To put it differently, he wanted to venture into other projects aside from music. It’s important to realize that the band will continue to rock out with or without him. Moving along, the artwork is animated and on the dark side of the spectrum. The image displays a skeleton man behind the wheel, and a woman riding shotgun displaying the band’s logo tatted on her arm. An obvious homage to the band.

Not to mention, the album title might seem like a no-brainer, but there was a lot of scrambling going on. Many ideas for the title were tossed around by the band members. Barker said the upcoming album was almost called ‘No Future’ or ‘Nude Erection.’ Hoppus also dropped his two cents into the bucket and suggested the title “OBGYN-Kenobi.” It’s obvious that these guys haven’t lost their youthfully twisted sense of humor! Talk about calculated timing – the album will be released on the 182nd day of the year. Check out the tracklist for the jaw-dropping ‘California‘ album below.
