Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker has revealed that a new Blink song will be on his upcoming solo album. Barker says that the song has yet to be written and the other new Blink song, "Up All Night," will end up somewhere else. He said, "'Up All Night' will have its own home, and it won't be on my record. That will continue to be part of a new Blink record or will be released through Blink182.com or something, it's going to be a surprise. The new song that we record for my record is just going to be something from scratch, and just us doing our thing."

The drummer hopes to complete his solo album by February and then tour to support it. The album will be a departure from Blink-182, featuring more of a hip-hop influence. "There's some stuff on my record that's not going to have a bunch of guitars, that are just straight-up hip hop records," said Barker. "Everything's going be real different. It's going to be really well-rounded."

Barker also revealed that Blink won't begin working on their new album until 2010. "We're kind of taking the rest of the year off, for everyone to finish up other stuff they have going on," Barker said. "We want to re-group next year and start getting together once a week or once every two weeks to start doing the beginning work on our record."
