AVA plan new album and Blink 182 to reform?

Angels And Airwaves are busy writing material for the follow-up to 2007's I-Empire.

According to an article in US newspaper The San Diego Reader, the band plan to hit the studio in January for a mid 2009 release.

The newspaper also alleges that DeLonge's former band, Blink 182, are getting back together citing an unnamed source connected with the San Diego pop punkers as saying:

"Poppy music is coming back again. When everybody is out of work long enough, we may see them get back together."

Fingers crossed people!

It would be great if Blink would ever get back together.
Mark and Tom were like best friends for fucking ages, you'd think they'll wanna speak to each other again eventually once all the petty shit gets forgotten.
Good news on the AVA album even if the Blink stuff isnt true, I think theyre pretty damn good!

Uhh.

I Don't Think They Are Struggling, But It's Just No Matter What You Do, You'll Never Become As Famous As Blink. They Were The Best Punk Pop Band Round The World, And They Aren't Struggling, It's Just Popularity. And, As Tom DeLonge Said Himself, There Are No Possible Ways That They Could Reunight.

I Thought Mark & Travis Hated Tom?
Strange...
But Thats Wot I Heard & That They Couldn't Stand Him.

okay. AVA is definetly not as good as blink ever was. u are probably some retarded 13 year old kid who didnt even know blink existed until u looked up tom delonge. less people know AVA than blink. so suck it hard! lol!

I love AVA there one of my favourite bands i cant wait for there new album but blink are over everyone needs to move on there songs were pretty crap anyway AVA is the future and they are incredible live!!!!!

Posted by Graeme | September 10, 2008 8:20 PM | Reply to this

...

Blink getting together is a remote possibility once the guys have finished their work with ava and +44, the guys have (indipendantly) said they look back on those times as the best of their lives and don't hate each other, Tom especially has said he was acting wierd coz of drugs, and Mark admitted he took Box Car Racer the wrong way.

I like both bands, ava are quite good, I dont get the hate. Its all just seems to be resentment that its not blink. get over it morons.

Hope it all works out.

Blink reunion?

i've heard tons and tons of these blink rumours, and i don't see it happening very soon.

AVA has launched modlife, working with NASA, doing a fall tour with weezer, and recording the new album in january.

Mark has been producing albums for NFG, socratic and so on, and when Travis is finished with his solo project, with teaming up with DJAM, they will begin the recording for +44's 2nd album!

I'm a massive fan of blink, but in my opinion i would prefer the guys doing what they truely love, and i really hope for a re-friendship!

As much as I hate Angels And Airwaves, that rumour is just a rumour, and Tom DeLonge is too busy poking his head up his own arse and stealing bassists to talk to Mark and Travus

i hope blink get back together!

VERY much doubt it though :(

hmm

i don't think this is true!!! how can it be true if ava are making a new album?

and wtf is it with all the fuck angels and airwaves??? they are not blink 182 get it! i like them coz the I think the music i good and I think they are something good! not a band that fucking cry over how hard it is to live or how shit life is. And do you realy think Tom want to come back when everyone say fuck Tom delonge or Ava???

Posted by Chaz | September 19, 2008 6:04 PM | Reply to this

this would only happen if Travis can still play/lives his traumatic burnings from his recent plane crash! so f-ing sad "death of 1 is a tragedy, death of millions is just sha"

Lol.

You guys should all just shut up, blink will never come back, at least not with Tom, Mark and Travis. I myself loved blink, but now its over i absolutely love angels and airwaves and they are better than blink ever were. just stop filling the comments with ava suck, because they really really dont.
Tom Delonge is amazing.

blink

i only heard tht they were supposed to be reforming to day id love them to bt i cnt see it happening. lets face it tom is doing to well with ava n +44 js suck ass the only good song they did was when ur heart stops beatin. also blinks last album was kinda crappy n i dnt want them to reform to make another like that go back to enema or take off your pants an jacket

Posted by Tom | December 4, 2008 8:43 PM | Reply to this

Blink/ AVA

To be honest, Blink-182 should reform, if only for one tour. AVA are really shit and self-indulgent and +44 aren't that much better. Bring back the good old days. Meanwhile, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
