Yesterday Blink 182 announced that they had cancelled all of their 2011 tour dates and the day after the announcement, Mark Hoppus has issued a statement addressing some of the comments fans had left for the band. Hoppus writes,

Hi. Mark here. I have been reading all of your comments, both here and on my twitter, and to those of you who’re frustrated, angry, let down, and incredulous, I feel you. I feel the same way. I’ve had a while to process everything and I’m still bummed. This was not an easy decision for us at all. One of the hardest things we’ve had to do. Ever. It sucks. The point is we didn’t want to rush and put out an inferior record. We also didn’t want to become a band who relies on their past success and just plays the same songs every tour, even though we’ll always play the older stuff as well. blink-182 NEEDS to make new music. For you, and for us. I did a long interview with Kerrang! about the postponement of the tour, and hopefully that helps explain everything a little better. I think it comes out on Wednesday. To those who’ve tried to be supportive and understanding, I thank you. For real. This needs to be the best album we’ve ever recorded, and we’re working hard towards that goal. blink-182 for life.

The Offspring have issued a statement regarding where they’re at with the recording process for the new album. The band writes,

There’s still a lot to be done but we hope to finish it up really quickly and I think we will as we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.. I think we are about 12 or 13 songs in. They probably won’t all go on the record but we have some good stuff. It’s going to be great and it’s going to be the best damn record we ever did. “You know what’s a really good sign? When you are working on a song and going ‘I really want this to be a hit.’ When you play it for a niece or nephew, or a young kid, preferably about five and if it sticks with that kid and you hear them humming it later in the day. But if they don’t do it right away, the tendency is you play it to them 10 times in a row and play a couple of songs and see what sticks We’re not finished yet but we’ve looked at the whole of what we have and I’m really stoked as there is some great stuff there

The Offspring’s most recent album, “Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace” was released back in 2008 on Columbia Records.
