by Music-News.com

Apple Music’s Zane Lowe joins blink-182 for an exclusive conversation about reuniting to release their highly anticipated new album ‘ONE MORE TIME…’ due out this Friday — the first album to feature the group’s classic lineup of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker since 2011. In the extensive and emotional conversation, the band opens up about how the reunion started with rekindling friendships, how Mark’s cancer diagnosis restored his faith in humanity, Tom’s decision to leave the band and the spiritual moment that brought him back, why Travis never lost faith in the band, and deciding to do things on their own terms. The trio also reflects on their early beginnings and being united by music, carrying the pop-punk torch, gratitude, what’s next, and why blink-182 is at its best when it’s Mark, Tom, and Travis.

(I was up to eight in a row listens by the time this was finalised).
