Producer John Feldmann on Blink-182's 'Bored to Death': 'It Gave Me Goosebumps on the Spot'
Blink-182 are back! Last week we learned the trio, now made up of Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker and Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba, will release their first full-length LP without founding guitarist Tom DeLonge on July 1, the 182nd day of the year. It's called California (literally what is more pop-punk?) and is produced by our favorite guy, Goldfinger frontman John "Feldy" Feldmann (5 Seconds of Summer, All Time Low, Good Charlotte.) He has big shoes to fill: After their career-spanning producer Jerry Finn passed in 2008, Blink have been on a long journey of finding out who to trust...and who they are in the modern era.
We hopped on the phone with Feldy to learn all about the first single from the record, "Bored to Death," a new chapter in the Blink story.
