Twitter page indicating that new songs were expected to be released "in a matter of weeks" and informed fans to "watch this space". Minutes later, guitarist/singer

Earlier this year, drummer
Travis Barker promised that
"the best is yet to come" from the pop-punkers. The trio released their comeback album
'Neighborhoods' in September 2011, their first LP in seven years, and Barker said that he feels like that album represented the band
"barely getting back into the rhythm".Barker, who has a fear of flying, also confirmed that he'll
join the group when they tour Australia in March next year as part of the
Soundwave Festival.Are you excited about new Blink material?
