Thought I'm pretty sure you already heard of them, The Front Bottoms are an amazing and super interesting band through their entire catalogue Pretty sure you're also familiar with Everything Everything. All top notch musicians with a great singer with super intelligent lyrics. Theyr latest record Get to Heaven is probably one of my favourites of this decade...even though i didn't like it much at first. If you like hip hop, I really enjoyed the last De La soul record, " The anonymous nobody" And if you are really desperate you can give my band Polyphone's new record "Silhouettes a spin" i'd appreciate it The Band "I heart sharks" has one great Record called "Summer" If it doesn't have to be english, The Austrian band Bilderbuch has released an amazing record called "Schick Schock" in 2015 which is sonically very interesting and you might like it even without understanding the lyrics...

that was reading festival i think...

i guess i would be more excited about it if they were truely trying to grow and to challenge themselves musically, but it's more evident then ever that they just want to keep their job going.... I hope they find a new spark of creativity for their next studio effort

i get that, but i'd rather have them end up among the community.. Plus i can't imagine someone would be willing to pay money for an old pair of shoes?

i was at my parents house this weekend and found a pair of signed all stars worn and signed by mark which i got from the neighborhoods preorder thingy. i really have no use for them so before they land in the trash: does anybody want them? Helen perhaps could return them to her husband?

yeah he anounced a wdntw acoustic record, and there is also a members only package that should still be coming. But I don't get my hopes up for anyting, it really seems like he has completely lost the plot with all his releases and deadlines. Does he still have a manager?

Is there anything officially anounced about the California Deluxe version / EP ?

You don't have to spend shit for being allowed to be critical. Also do you think the band wants to meet you because you spent hundreds of dollars on them?

We should change the title of this topic to: "The General Meltdown Watch.....

haha the Lyrics on the Thumbnail are hilarious...

I read this in a lot of places. Where does that info come from?`If that's true, fairplay, that's pretty rad.... Couldn't care less for the rest of the video though. Same vibe as the album... just seems kinda dishonest and forced.

bring on leo dehoe!

i lol'd !

well , they took that exact same route for the music in california so i'm not very surprised....

well if he conplains about tom wanting to make blink sound like coldplay he shouldnt push the band to do this kind of crap...

Holy shit that was awful, i hate that they agree to do stuff like this. The only reason for this whole collab was money, i can't imagine skiba or mark being truely artistically interested in a collaboration with aoki... I mean sure, blink sold out in 1999, but this stuff seems more like a desperate approach for relevance, good or bad

Here's my set up Guitars: -Epiphone Dot Studio -Epiphone ES 339 P90 Pro I also have a squier thinline telecaster which is absolutely gorgious but i only really play at home to record.. Amp: Orange TH30C Such a great amp, I could'nt be happier and can't imagine ever buying something else again The distortion ist just heaven However i'm absolutely obsessing over the new gibson memphis 339 in satin black, which got to be the most beautiful guitar i have ever seen. Just can't afford it any time soon, but maybe some day

THIS, it really baffles me tbh

Really like "New World", That song would've been great with mark and travis. But it sound unfinished and really lacks a bridge. Also like invisible parade, the rest really doesn't do anything for me

I'm pretty sure Ilan was mainly responsible for the music with tom kind of producing it. But Tom definately came up with most of the hooks and vocal melodies (as stated in the making of videos) . However I'd rather have Tom Delonge writing songs with Ilan Rubin than Mark and Travis writing songs with John Feldmann

Is that from a videoshoot?

Damn i also love View from below, that song is so haunting! The Dream Walker and the two new EP's where the best stuff they released so far, and to be honest make California look like a terd of a record(...which it is)

http://www.nme.com/news/oasis/95182 That actually got me quite excited! You guys think Noel Gallagher ever wrote an e-mail to Podesta?

Well then let's mock him for that? I like to complain about his dragging along the band for years too, but i don't get the obsession on hating on his every move about stuff that has nothing to do with blink at all. I'd rather talk about oasis .......

I'd absolutely love the full pepsi smash performace. My favourite phase of them playing live, i wish I would've been there!
