The Witzard

Let me simply start out by saying that Blink-182 have always been and will be one of my utmost favourite bands. Ever since first hearing Enema of the State (1999), Blink's albums and respective side bands have without a doubt soundtracked my summer days and nights. I've since delved back into the previous 2 albums [ Cheshire Cat-Dude Ranch ] gaining a solid sense of respect for 90's Pop Punk . Blink-182 went on to release two more albums: Take Off Your Pants & Jacket (2001) and "Blink-182" (2003) - along with a string of chart-topping hits before disbanding in 2005. "Another Girl, Another Planet" and "Not Now," 2 note-worthy non-album tracks were then included on Greatest Hits (2005) and release as successful radio singles. After what seemed to be a pretty messy [intense] fall-out, Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker , and Tom DeLonge broke off into a few respective separate side bands... (+44), Angels & Airwaes, Transplants , and TRV$D...

Mark Hoppus @ Google+ challenged tech-savvy fans to "Command the A" Thursday evening [August 4th]; The linked URL, heartsallgone.com, was then essentially shut down nearly 24 hours later. While live and active, the micro-site featured a simplistic black-and-white rendering of Blink-182 's Popular "smiley face" logo (2003) strewn across a stalk white background. Once highlighted under the command of Ctrl+A , a download link and accompanying "invisible lyrics" text for a new album track, "Heart's All Gone" were simultaneously revealed. To reiterate, Blink-182 's first commercial effort in 8 long years [ Neighborhoods ] will become available for purchase world-wide this coming Sept. 27th!
