The Day in Rock Digest for 11/19/20: Blink-182 now has a target date for the release of their new album. Mark Hoppus tells fans: We've been busy with new songs and ideas, and 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. There's still a long to 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.

That's our goal. more Devildriver bassist Jon Miller has issued the following update: "To all of the DevilDriver fans who will be attending the remaining dates of our current fall/winter European run, it is to my dismay that I will not be able to finish the tour due to a family emergency." more
