Last week was a big for Blink-182... and their fans. At not only the first group "Up All Night," their first new song in almost eight years, but they have revealed the title of their highly anticipated new album, too: neighbourhoods.

Of course, while all this was happening, Blink bassist and singer Mark Hoppus was mailing MTV News, first of all to express his enthusiasm for new music, then to show how "up all night" has been a favorite repeat of official single flashing back.

And now, he is at it again, this time talking about the inspiration behind the title of the album. As is the case with everything involving Blink these days, it seems that neighbourhoods name owes much to the long road Blink took since the indefinite hiatus in 2005.

"Blink-182 reformed, we came to realize that, as close as Travis [Barker] Tom [DeLonge] and I are, we are all very different." With very different tastes. Travis has released an album of hip-hop, Tom always talks about U2, Coldplay and the Police, and I listen to obscure indie rock stuff, "Hoppus written." "We each bring a very different aesthetic, talent and sound to the band." And the differences between our ideas, the control and the edge of all different directions is where good things happen when write us together.

"If we are each as different districts of a city." Everyone in the world thinks of something unique of themselves when they hear the word "Districts", "it continues".For some, it is one large city, others a small town, other suburbia,. The world is very different, exciting and extensive. This is what neighborhoods means to me. »

Blink-182 will return to the road at the side of My Chemical Romance on the 2011 Honda Civic Tour, which begins August 5 in Holmdel, New Jersey. Neighbourhoods is tentatively expected in stores on September 27.
