Blink-182 Recording New Music With Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba Soon
Update (7/22): It looks like Matt Skiba is all but confirmed to replace Tom DeLonge in Blink-182. In a new interview with Billboard, Blink bassist/singer Mark Hoppus revealed that the trio—now consisting of himself, Travis Barker and Skiba—will head back in the studio next month to begin recording new material.
The news essentially confirms the Alkaline Trio guitarist as the new Blink-182 member, replacing DeLonge after the founding Blink member dramatically quit the band in January. Luckily, Skiba seems to be fitting right in as Barker later revealed that not only are the guys vibing better, but crowds are uber-accepting of him too. (Meanwhile, Skiba's Trio bandmate Dan Andriano's doing pretty rad stuff on his own, too.)
