Listen to Blink-182’s new single ‘Blame It On My Youth’

Mark Hoppus teased the track online earlier this week

Blink-182 have released a new single called ‘Blame It On My Youth’ – stream it below.

The three-piece have been hard at work on the follow-up to 2016’s ‘California’, which was the band’s first record with Matt Skiba. Skiba replaced Tom DeLonge as guitarist and co-frontman in 2015.

Taking to social media yesterday (May 7), Hoppus told fans that new material would be released today and posted a picture of a graffiti-daubed wall.

The track is available on streaming platforms now, accompanied by an official lyric video by renowned graffiti artist RISK.

Back in March, Blink drummer Travis Barker said that “literally anything goes” in regards to the musical direction of the band’s new album. “I think we’re creating one of the most important Blink albums, so I’m really proud of it,” he said.

The month before, Barker said that their forthcoming “experimental” record is the closest the band had come to making “something like [2003’s] ‘Blink-182’ since that album.”

Blink announced a joint North American tour with Lil Wayne yesterday (May 6), which will extend from June through to September. You can see their full list of tour dates here.

Last month, Blink-182 played their much-loved 1999 album ‘Enema of the State’ in full during a gig in California to celebrate the record’s 20th anniversary.
