31 January 2010 | 5:14 pm | Staff Writer

Following Mark Hoppus's earlier tweet this week, promising a new Blink album in 2010 - Hoppus talked about what to expect on the new album;"We definitely want to try a bunch of different stuff. I think it will still sound like Blink. I think it will still be catchy. I think it will still be poppy, but we want to be weird on this record," Hoppus said.So, what does this mean for their upcoming studio release?"Everybody listens to such different stuff. Tom is really into, like, '80s stadium rock; huge, monumental '80s rock bands. Travis is all over the place, musically, and he always comes up with beats and drum parts that are so way out that I would never think of them," Hoppus said. "And I've just been listening to a lot of weird indie rock. So somewhere between amazing hip-hop beats, stadium rock and indie rock, you'll find Blink."
