NEWS: Blink 182 Release New Song ‘Up All Night’

Monday , 18 Jul 2011

Reformed punk pop group Blink-182 have released their first single since November 2004.



The band’s new single, titled ‘Up All Night’, is the first to be released off their upcoming 6th studio album, Neighborhoods, and the first to be released since their reformation in 2009. Listen to 'Up All Night' below.



‘Up All Night’ was the first song Blink-182 wrote and recorded after their reunion and was originally set for release in 2009, but was withheld as the band felt it was incomplete. Speaking to MTV, bassist Mark Hoppus had this to say about the song.

"Up All Night was the first song that we started writing when the band got back together," he wrote. "The foundation of the song remains largely the same as when we first began, but over the past two years, as we've been recording others songs, coming back to this one, working on something else, coming back to this song, it's gotten harder and heavier than its original incarnation".

"Initially the chorus had much more air. It was a lofty, synth-y chorus, but we wanted the first song that people heard to be much more of a rocker. We changed a bunch of the instrumentation, recorded heavier guitars and bass, and Tom (DeLonge) wrote the progression that the guitars take on in the chorus," he continued. "Then Travis (Barker) took it over and the drums really solidified the rock element of the track. The half-time intro of the last section was all him, and I think punctuates the song very well."
