Trippie Redd recently teamed up with Blink-182’s Travis Barker for a new deluxe edition of “Pegasus” titled “NEON SHARK vs. Pegasus.” That effort is available now and one of the tracks on it, “GERONIMO,” features Deftones’ Chino Moreno. You can stream that below:
Fever 333 have premiered a new video for “Wrong Generation.” This song features Blink-182’s Travis Barker and it serves as the title track of the band’s latest EP. Frontman Jason Aalon Butler commented:
“We were hoping to make a video that offered a similar energy and excitement to the live element of this Fever 333 project. I also wanted to give a nod to ‘Song 2‘ one of the coolest music videos ever made. Put these vibes together and we ended up with this.”
Escape The Fate have premiered a new video for their new song “Not My Problem.” The track, which features Blink-182’s Travis Barker, is from the band’s new album “Chemical Warfare,” which will be released on April 16. The following was said about the song in a press release:
“‘Not My Problem’ is an ode to self-preservation. With lyrics about not taking on the problems of others, the track fits snugly within the positive tone of ‘Chemical Warfare’. The uplifting, encouraging themes of the album speak directly to the needs of the band’s young fanbase. The work with Barker went so well that he and guitarist (and co-producer) Kevin “Thrasher” Gruft are now working together on several high-profile projects.”

Travis Barker (Blink-182), Elise Trouw, Carey Watkins, and Paul Raci have shared a reimagined take on Metallica‘s “Enter Sandman.” The cover was released in celebration of the Amazon Prime debut of the new film “Sound Of Metal.” As previously reported, that movie focuses on a punk-metal drummer struggling with hearing loss.
According to Deadline, Tom DeLonge (ex-Blink-182, etc.) will be making his directorial debut with the upcoming sci-fi film “Monsters Of California.” The movie is based off a script that the frontman co-wrote with Ian Miller.
The film is being produced by “Creepshow” producer The Cartel with Striker Entertainment in association with To The Stars Inc. and it will feature: Richard Kind (“Mad About You,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Casper Van Dien (“Starship Troopers”), Arianne Zucker (“Days of Our Lives”), Gabrielle Haugh (“Jeepers Creepers 3”), Sports Illustrated model Camille Kostek, Jack Samson, Jared Scott and Jack Lancaster. Here’s a description of it:
“Monsters Of California is a coming of age adventure with a science fiction twist that follows teenager Dallas Edwards, played by Samson, and his derelict friends on a quest for the meaning behind a series of mysterious, paranormal events in Southern California. The truths they uncover begin to unravel extraordinary secrets held tightly within the deepest levels of the Government.”
DeLonge commented:
“I have been playing this story in my dreams for decades. It represents all aspects of my strange existence, including growing up in San Diego suburbia as a disaffected teenage skateboarder. I had a tight tribe of friends who never missed an opportunity to piss people off and made me laugh so hard I would cry. The camaraderie, curiosity, angst and irreverence is everything that lead me to Blink-182 and this story is layered with my obsession with the tightly blurred lines between science and science fiction.”
Blink-182 have premiered a new video for their new song “Quarantine.” You can check that out below:
Mark Hoppus commented:
“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.”
Travis Barker added:
“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 than I’ve ever heard him, and I really like it.”
The lineup has been revealed for the 2021 Four Chord Music Fest. The event will take place at Wild Things Park in Washington, PA on July 17 and it will feature: Blink-182, The Used, State Champs, Mayday Parade, Four Year Strong, the Ataris, Hit the Lights, Sleep On It, Eternal Boy, Patent Pending, Keep Flying, Fortune Cove, and Look Out Loretta.
Ho99o9 recently played a three-song set with Blink-182’s Travis Barker as part of the virtual “Black Power Live” festival. That event helped raise money for organizations that are supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. Ho99o9’s performance featured their recently released songs, “Pray Or Prey” and “Christopher Dorner,” and a cover of Bad Brains‘ “Big Takeover.“
