“The process was natural and easy, I could’ve kept on going forever”: Blink-182’s Travis Barker on turning producer for new Alkaline Trio recordings

Alkaline Trio and Travis Barker.

Blink-182 are currently in the middle of a US tour with Alkaline Trio opening up for them, and presumably Blink drummer Travis Barker knows more of the support band’s new material than most. Barker recently produced three songs for the punk rock veterans, whose frontman Matt Skiba was co-vocalist and guitarist in Blink-182 during Tom DeLonge’s wilderness years from 2015-2022, and today they released the second track from the batch – Bleeding Out is out now.

The material marks the first recorded output for Alkaline Trio’s revamped line-up – long-standing drummer Derek Grant left in 2023 after recording their tenth album Blood, Hair And Eyeballs and was replaced by former Rocket From The Crypt and Offspring sticksman Atom Willard.
