In another, DeLonge said: “Things are going very well in the studio.” You can see the posts below.
@angelsandairwavesLast year, Blink 182′s Mark Hoppus admitted that the band did âits best workâ back when DeLonge was still a member.
DeLonge parted ways with Mark Hoppus and co. in 2015, and went on to find success with Angels & Airwaves. Since his departure, Blink released the albums âCaliforniaâ and ‘âNINE’ with Alkaline Trio frontman Matt Skiba replacing DeLonge on guitar and vocals.
In an interview with Vogue, bassist Hoppus looked back fondly on the bandâs âEnema Of The Stateâ era.
âThere was a real unity of spirit in the band; [itâs] when the band found itself,â he said. âWhen Tom was in the band, thatâs when blink did its best work⊠Now post-Tom, with Matt in the band, weâre approaching songs differently.â
Speaking of their relationship after the split, Hoppus added: âI talked with Tom for the first time in two years right before we started this tourâŠThe conversation was more about us just telling each other, âNo hard feelings. You do your thing, weâll do our thing.â Itâs all good.â
Speaking about Angels & Airwaves to NME last year, DeLonge said: âIn many ways, what Angels is doing on this next record is kinda what my vision for where I wanted Blink to go in the future was.
âNot that it was created yet, but I started Blink so I had a vision in my head for what it should be in the beginning and then where it should go. But I donât own the band. I have partners and everyoneâs voice was equal. It was like three guys trying to drive the car at the same time and thatâs what made it great.â
