For the past few months, Blink-182 has been teasing that they are working on a follow-up to their 2019 album Nine.
In an interview with MTV, Travis confirmed that they do have an EP coming out later this year, and that “Quarantine” is the first single off of it.
“We’re wrapping up what we think will be an EP that hopefully will be out by the end of summer,” Travis shared. “There’s a song called ‘Quarantine’ that’s gonna come out really, really soon. It’ll be a Blink favorite. It’ll be like all our fan favorites. It’s incredible.”

“Happy Days” is featured on the guys’ album NINE, released in September 2019.
In it, they jam out from their own homes alongside clips of fans – including some famous ones such as Machine Gun Kelly and Jackass‘s Steve-O – revealing their quarantine activities, including online classes, Zoom happy hours, and more.
The band also pays tribute to healthcare workers with videos of doctors and nurses.
“Thank you to everyone who helped make this video. Stay home. Stay Safe,” Blink-182 captioned it.

The guys of Blink-182 were told to stay at their Texas hotel following the shooting in El Paso.
Mark Hoppus took to Twitter on Saturday (August 3) to tell fans that he and fellow band mates Travis Barker and Matt Skiba were told by their security team to stay in the hotel after a gunman opened fire at a Walmart not far from from they mall they were scheduled to make an appearance at.
“We are locked down in our hotel in el paso. over the intercom system they just announced that there are reports of another active shooter directly across the street at a location different from the first shootings,” Mark wrote.
He continued: “We were leaving breakfast when our security texted that there was an active shooter at the mall we were headed to. saw dozens of police cars on the freeway and surface streets. helicopters. we got back to the hotel and turned on the news to see what was happening.”

the intercom said there are reports of another shooting across the street at the bassett place mall. i don’t see or hear police or helicopters so hopefully it’s just an over abundance of caution and someone got the malls confused. so terrible.
