Randomily came across one of these songs on an Instagram Ad, kinda reminds me of the TOYPAJ era blink. I'm not so sure how they've got such little following!

Fucking decent this. Lot of lazy comparsion's to Nirvana, but I love it!

I'd love to see a TOYPAJ 20th tour, hopefully the UK get something. If they rotate STFTK back into the setlist, which I'm sure they will, I hope we get the hear the breakdown they used to play live back in 2004. Loved when they used to introduce extended intro's or outro's you didn't hear on the records.

So Kennyhoopla's mixtape with Travis has dropped today.... Absolutely love this song!!

DED Nine California Neighborhoods California Deluxe

New MGK with the dude from Sleeping with Sirens, not gonna lie, of the two new songs he's dropped I'm not really feeling either of them so far. New Girlfriends song which dropped on last Thursday, it's not to bad just wish it was a bit longer really. Also KennyHoopla has been added to the 'Tickets to my Downfall' US tour, such a great addition! He's also dropping an EP with Travis in June which contains 'Hollywood Sucks', which is fucking great btw!

It's weird that it appears to be all 3 of them doing it and it's more frequent than ever before though. Think I even saw an Alternative Press article hinting that they could be up to something. But to answer your question, I honestly don't think Matt gives a shit really. I mean I guess with Tom, it's likely to be a cleaver ploy to drum up more interest in what he's doing considering he's teasing a new AVA album in the coming weeks/months. But I suppose it's nice that they are in a place where there isn't as much anger vented towards each other and they've accepted it, even from Mark.

Seein as this is a 'New Generation' thread, has anybody heard of the band Girlfriends? It's Travis Mills and Nick Gross (Current Goldfinger Drummer) who pretty much decided to form a band around 12 months ago. Some okay songs are fairly decent, 'Stay Awhile' is very Boys Don't Cry/Just Like Heaven, for all you Cure fans out there! Possibly on John Feldmann record label, or he's worked with them at least, he's on their 'California' video.

Very likely to have been working on the collab with Mod Sun called 'Flames'. They've directed music video's for each over and Mod was all other the snippets of making 'Tickets to My Downfall', so MGK may have very well played guitar on that track. As a matter of fact, that looks like Mod Sun holding the camera in the image haha!

Only just discovered Knuckle Puck during this album cycle and there are some enjoyable pop-punk songs off that record, mostly the singles though. I also genuinely don't understand the hate towards Neck Deep, never really been a fan apart from the odd song, but the new record they released this summer is solid. Punk, pop-punk whatever you want to call it, it's still out there and if you include MGK, that's 3 albums that have dropped this summer alone with some enjoyable songs. Tickets to my downfall is a very easy listening, enjoyable pop-punk album. Title Track, Kiss Kiss, My Ex's Best Friend and the Halsey track are all on instant repeat for me. Might not be everybody's cup of tea here but if it 'exposes' pop-punk and encourages artists to try something similar then I'm all for it.

On the whole, it's a fun very easy listening pop punk album. Believe he's selling tickets to watch a live stream performance of the album next week. Got to ask though, if Travis can produce this kind of quality, why isn't he all over blink's stuff? Mark appears to be a fan of tickets to my downfall going off his IG story so I'd love to see Mark feature on a future MGK song.

Anybody think Mark is starting to miss Tom now, or he's at least accepted Tom leaving the band? Few little things over the past week where he's either mentioned or tagged Tom, including at the end of the untitled album launch where he says he's gonna call Tom just makes me think something's going on. Biggest think I took from watching was 'Up All Night' demo from the untitled session, it was from a song called 'Punk Kid'.

Not sure if it's been posted elsewhere but a new interview with Travis... https://www.kerrang.com/the-news/travis-barker-on-upcoming-blink-182-single-quarantine-itll-be-like-all-our-fan-favourites/ 'Quarantine ' song is due for release soon... thinks it will become a fan's favourite blink are working on an EP, expects it to be released "By the end of summer", no clarity if this is anything spilt over from NINE Apparently there is an unleased Boxcar Racer song. Doesn't want to 'troll the fans' by releasing it and probably won't see the light of day. Oh, he still talks to Tom. Kinda seems to be a running joke at the minute.

True, but stockholm syndrome and asthenia are both top tier blink songs. Like I said, there's a couple of cool ideas there and I enjoy the first 90 seconds or so... Hopefully see a full version of the song one day.
