After reports that Travis Barker would be unable to join his band Blink-182 on their 2013 Australian tour due to his fear of flying, it looks like the drummer will be making the trek after all.

We know what you’re thinking: If Blink-182 plays a show without drummer Travis Barker is it still a Blink-182 show? The band, which will continue their touring in 2013, will unfortunately not be able to include Barker on all dates due to his fear of flying.

Yelawolf has some big plans for the coming months, including a new EP with Travis Barker and a lengthy video for his track “Growin’ Up in the Gutter.” And that’s not all – the rapper will begin prepping his next album, tentatively titled Love Story, later this summer.

It was announced today that Dev will release her highly anticipated debut full-length, The Night The Sun Came Up, on September 20. You probably already know Dev from her single “Bass Down Low,” which was produced by the Catarcs and recently went gold, as well as her legendary hook on Far East Movement’s “Like A G6.”

The music video for her current hit single “In The Dark” also debuted today while the remix of “Bass Down Low” featuring Tinie Tempah is currently in the Top 10 on the UK iTunes charts.

Prior to beginning work on her own music, Dev collaborated with artists such as Timbaland, Travis Barker and David Guetta, and was nominated for Best New Artist by mtvU.

blink-182 and My Chemical Romance have announced they will be teaming up for this year’s Honda Civic Tour, which kicks off on August 5th in Holmdel, NJ and winds down on October 15th in San Diego. We caught up with both bands at the kick-off party for the tour announcement last night at Los Angeles’ Rainbow Room and got the inside scoop on the tour. We also have confirmed the status of blink-182’s highly anticipated new album, which will officially be out this fall.
.
“We’ll be turning it in before the tour starts so it’s out during the tour,” blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus says of the band’s first album in eight years. “With a single and video before that. We have 16 songs we worked from. I think we’ve narrowed those down to like 12. And we’ll probably put 10 on the album. I think that it’s most like our last record, but taking a step forward from that and also kind of keeping track of where we started.”
.
As for what fans can expect from the album? “I think we’ve done a really great job of separating our record into sections where some stuff is throwback and some stuff is very progressive and some stuff is just plain different,” guitarist Tom DeLonge says. “One of the things I’m really proud of about this record is a lot of songs are really built for a big audience. Even the ones that are a throwback. One of the ones we just did the other day was actually spawned from a swing beat by (drummer) Travis (Barker). It’s literally a futuristic version of the Adam and the Ants song everyone would reference. We took it to a place where it would remind you of old blink on something totally new. My point is it’s a progressive throwback that’s built for a large audience so it’s exciting.”
.
The tour, which will feature several openers including Matt & Kim, Rancid and Manchester Orchestra, will apparently involve big production and lots of excitement. “I think the bands playing on this bill are all really really good,” DeLonge says. “I think that’s it’s going to be really big and fun. Honda’s really cool and they’re bringing a lot to the table as far as promotion. They’re helping out with some of the promotion even so I think this will give the opportunity to all the bands involved to hopefully put on more of a fantastic show than usual. I think you can pretty much bet our crowd and the crowd of the fans of all the other bands are going to get a pretty fast-paced, energetic peaceful rebellion. I’m going to try and lose a few pounds and try and look a little bit better. That’s what you can count on.”
