BLINK-182 DROP TIMELY SONG AND VIDEO “QUARANTINE”
SCORE TWO MTV VMA NOMINATIONS
Grammy nominated California rock heavyweights, blink-182, have dropped their brand-new track “Quarantine” – listen HERE. This relevant and timely song features strong drums and killer guitars matched with angsty vocals to stress just how hard we all have been hit by this time spent in isolation and social distancing. Alongside the song comes a music video that intermixes the lyrics and raw footage of the band shot on iPhones – watch HERE.
“This song is about the sadness, confusion, anger and frustration we are all experiencing right now. I hope that everybody is safe and that we can get through this very soon. Can’t wait to see you all on the other side.” says Mark Hoppus. Travis Barker adds “The song was inspired by the quarantine and the crappy punk rock music we have loved to play since day one. All the drums are one take and I even sang some backup vocals. Mark sounds more pissed off then I’ve ever heard him, and I really like it.”
Alongside the brand-new song, blink-182 have also scored two MTV VMA nominations for “Best Rock” and “Best Music Video From Home” for their fan-driven montage to their song “Happy Days.” Fans of the band can vote now at vma.mtv.com.
blink-182’s latest album NINE is out now on Columbia Records and includes singles “I Really Wish I Hated You,” “Darkside,” “Happy Days,” “Generational Divide” and “Blame It On My Youth.”
Since their humble beginnings in 1992 in San Diego, blink-182 have sold over fifty million albums worldwide and rocked audiences around the globe, becoming one of the defining and inspirational rock bands of their generation. blink-182 is Mark Hoppus (vocals/bass), Travis Barker (drums) and Matt Skiba (vocals/guitar).
