New Blink 182 Release Next Year
Blink 182 plan on delivering their new record in April or May and then release the album soon afterward. Read a new studio update from Mark Hoppus here.
“We have a date for the completion of the album. We want to deliver the record in April or May, for release very soon afterward. That’s our goal. That’s what we’re all working toward. That being said, the only thing more important to us than getting the record out in that time is getting a GREAT record out. If it isn’t absolutely ready at that point, we’ll keep working until it is. But that’s the plan. Everything is starting to coalesce, and it’s very exciting to begin the next chapter of blink-182.”
Patrick Stump Solo Album Planned For February

Silverstein Signs To Hopeless
Silverstein has signed to Hopeless Records. They are currently preparing for a full US & Canadian tour titled “Winterizer”, but will release Transitions (EP) on December 7. Their fifth full-length is scheduled for a Spring 2011 release.
“We have signed to Hopeless Records! We have been huge fans of the label since their inception and they have become great friends of ours over the years. It is great to work with people who not only get what we do and still embrace the scene, but also actually helped create it. After talking to many labels, we felt we would be the most at home here with Louis, and the entire Hopeless Records staff.”
