Read this next: Travis Barker and Machine Gun Kelly discuss how to pronounce blink-182
Discussing his creativity during the past couple of a months of lockdown, the drummer reflects, "The first part of quarantine I was literally stuck at home so we did the Paramore cover, Kels [Machine Gun Kelly] and I. We did Misery Business and then from there, just every day there was something by default.
"You really don’t have anything else to do so you really just start to get creative. I slowly started going to the studio and just really tapping in with artists that were also quarantined and worked on projects. And I think everyone is so grateful and fortunate to be able to make music and just be alive, seize the opportunities and be creative and make great music."
And he's not the only member of blink-182 to have been productive in this time, either; bassist Mark Hoppus said in mid-May, “Plans for upcoming recording? I recorded literally yesterday. So upcoming recording is happening as we speak. It was new blink, not [side-project] Simple Creatures or anything else.”
