The pop-punk icons announced an expanded edition of their 2023 comeback LP ‘One More Time‘ earlier this week. ‘One More Time… Part 2’ will include eight brand new tracks and is set for release on September 6. You can pre-order / pre-save it here.
Ahead of the release, and their headline performance at Reading & Leeds festival this weekend, Blink-182 have shared two of the album’s new tracks.
Both songs take on a pensive and cathartic theme, with ‘All In My Head’, existing as a high-octane exploration of loneliness and the turbulence of touring.
Elsewhere, ‘No Fun’ is a heavy-hearted look at the mundanity of adulthood that dwells on being “no longer 18.” “There’s no fun anymore, nothing to do, nothing to see / No fun anymore, everyone’s bored ’cause we cut off their wings,” frontman Tom DeLonge sings over a nostalgic pop-punk guitar riff.
Check them out below.
In a three-star review of the ‘One More Time’ LP, NME shared: “Towards the end of the album, DeLonge asks a question many listeners will have in their minds as they hit play – “2023, who the fuck are we?” They aren’t all that far away from who they’ve always been – three friends wanting to make some noise and have a riot of a time doing it. Although they’re not exactly revolutionising pop punk, this was likely never the goal. Chances are, the fans just want the old Blink back anyway, and in 2023, they’re just as fun as ever.”
Blink-182 will headline Reading & Leeds festival this weekend (August 23-25), alongside Liam Gallagher, Lana Del Rey, Fred Again.., Gerry Cinnamon and Catfish & The Bottlemen. Find the stage times here and keep up to date with the latest news from the festival here.
Elsewhere, Blink-182 recently brought a fan on stage to sing ‘First Date’ and her disastrous attempt on vocals has ended up going viral.
