The new album will be the band's first release since 2003's self entitled album, bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus has said that a number of songs are 'very near complete'.

The singer revealed details of their new album on his blog: ''We've been busy with new songs and ideas.  Some tracks are very near complete. In rough terms, I'd say we're working with the better part of ten or so songs at this point.''

He added: ''There's still a long way to go before the album is done.  But already it seems like the songs are both taking a step even further than we took on the last album, while also going back to the sound of some of the earlier albums.''

Blink-182 made their anticipated comeback with headline spots at Reading/Leeds festival.
