It's been 20 odd Years since these guys were number 1 they were all 20 something sad to say we all age with time and mark looks great for his age , guys if you're feeling old or down we have blink182 to make us feel young again thanks for the memory's guys
Great interview guys. I was sure the track sounded like Feldmen was in involved. Great song and I'm really excited to hear the EP in March. Thanks for the video.
I have been a fan of Mark Hoppus since I saw him play in "Of all things" at the fairgrounds in Ridgecrest CA back in the early 90s. They did a cover of silly girl by the descendants and I was like Ok, Mark can be a star. I was right. in 1994 I heard he had a band called Blink and I bought it at Blue Meanie Records in SD. It was so raw. lol! But there was definitely something there. Obviously. Anyway I am very happy for Mark and wish him continued success. And I think he looks distinguished now. Oh man we are both so old. lol!!
i saw him play live less than 5 feet away from me in edmonton a couple years ago and he looked just like he did when i was a kid. ...what happened between then and now. age is not kind. love him so much. inspired me to play all sting instruments and not look bored doing it\
Brett Burton yep. Like 2 or 3 days ago Alex ATL was in studio with Rian ATL and Zakk ATL. Jack ATL was traveling but I think they’re already meeting each other for recording some stuff. You can watch their Instagram stories which are pretty cool :)
@@chateaudax5629 oh no shit. That's great to hear. I was expecting an album this year until simple creatures came out and then got worried ATL was going to disband. Thanks for the info!!!!!
I am really excited about that! I love Mark and Alex and it's a blessing for me! I can't wait to hear Simple Creatures' new songs :3 guitar riffs in new single got stuck in my head
Drug is a brilliant song and i genuinely cannot wait for the EP. Never been so hyped before. Usually have trouble motivating myself to listen to new music even from bands and stuff that i like already but like hooooly hell i want this now please.
I saw them a few months ago in Vegas and that show was fuckin lit! They kept the energy and had fire shooting throughout the stage with lots of inflatables and props in the crowd. It had much more of a "professional stage act" feel which was very cool. I was thoroughly impressed.
Whats up Harms and Mark: great to hear a new project just happened and eager for new Blink album as well. It was keen of your wife to dial in on the depression and direct it. Even though a great project came out of it.,(which I'm about to click on the single next).. This also sounds alot like PTSD as the troops experience.. that it should be ignored. I don't mean things got traumatic for you so much as theres a very intense level of performance and when its not there, the body craves it.. 10 years down the road you might have a stage injury from going hard or .. or somehow age starts tearing things up that will lay you out or another band member up. .. as has been the case.. learning another passionate career might be necessary .. just as music is important .. music is also like Blink182.. The Venn circles are getting drawn.. you your own space to enjoy life without creative medium predispositions. M Bench; Gender Anthropologist.,
It could be that Mark did feel like BCR could have been a blink album. However, from everything I have learned about the situation, it was more that Tom didn't think Mark would want to budge from the commercial/poppy/mainstream sound of TOYPAJ that got them so much attention. Tom thought Mark would want to stick to that formula and make lots of $ instead of trying to be different. I also feel like some of it was Tom wanting to see what he can do on his own to see if he could survive as an artist without Mark - in case things ever got weird between them. They were probably already starting to drift apart with how big the band was getting around the time and all the $$$ coming in... Mark had a reason to be angry, IMO. It was an early sign of the bad communication in the band that would eventually lead to it's demise...
I love how Mark, Travis, and Matt can handle side projects while also handling Blink-182. Meanwhile when Tom Delonge was in the band, he had his heart set on just one thing and didn't give a shit about Blink-182.
I feel you brother... Mark had some great lyrics and his songwriting was amazing on blink-182 (2003) and +44. I feel like if he'd continued down that creative path, he would have made some really original and powerful music. No offense to Matt Skiba but he just doesn't seem to fit with Mark creatively
He might be speaking of the musical aspect of it but I agree the choruses and verses sound similar to the two. Maybe it came off differently to Mark and maybe Alex in the studio but hey.. Its really hard to separate sound from one band to another without adding in any sort of aspect from the other band
This is strange because the main reason blink spilt up the first time mainly because of Tom side project boxcar Racer. Now that tom is out, Mark is doing side projects now along with blink
Eamon Gillespie182 Same. Remember right before Tom left, Mark hinted at a side project? (Nothing and Nobody) Dont really want them to split but tbh I don't know how to feel about blink anymore
Well, Mark did stress that he doesn't like when other artists do a side project that ends up sounding like their main band. Honestly, I was very worried when I heard of the SC announcement for these same reasons. But Drug does really stand on its own, and doesn't really sound like blink or ATL. So, have no fear! Marks main musical priority will ALWAYS be blink!
Laura Miramón I really wanted them to stay together back in the mid 2000’s. They could have made an amazing Album after Untitled while they were still at their peak, but sadly it never happened.
Wow I really hope Mark won’t ever read these comments on here. I wonder why supposedly “blink fans” would comment such nasty things?! Like if you are stuck on the blink you used to listen to when you were 12 don’t get mad at blink for not being that still. Some blink fans are so toxic man I swear. I love blink but I hate their fans.
He said it started a year and a half previously, but if you look on the Simple Creatures official Twitter account, it says they joined in June 2010... there's a question right there...
@@Scrubber89 it's true tho. It sounds nothing like a blink record. I don't mind different. But it was meh at best. But let's hope the next blink album is better.
Bails Dug lol you obviously haven’t seen the Netflix special on ted bundy. He was a master of his disguise. This guy most certainly looks like one of the 12 ted bundy’s facial appearances
Mark always loved and believed in blink. So passionate. Yea I get it, tom wanted to grow up, try something different, be mature. But tom lost his love for blink along along time ago. Stop hating on Skiba alkaline trio is a good ass bands and diff way diff from blink. Tom looses his love for blink, doesn't want to give us fans what we want and you hate on Skiba I'm 30 been around since dude ranch you Matt haters must be 17 or some shit y'all don't know shit. Probably swimming if your dad's balls when dammit came out. Bless skiba thanks you for keeping blink alive and tour and new music
Sounds pretty cool that Mark is doing something outside of blink. Also happy to hear that blink is in studio so consistently
Alex Webb Wait +44 is mark?
Mkbmasonn1 fuck yes and travis
He was also in the song Elevator by BoxCarRacer with Tom
Noah R I concur 100%
I'm glad I saw this interview! it answered all my questions I had about simple creatures.
Absolutely, love this new work but hearing Mark talk about a new Blink album so soon beyond makes this year. Without a doubt incredibly excited.
he's a good interviewer
Adrian Bryant hopefully them and the band Anarbor can tour together
Hey Mark do a project with that Tom and Travis! 🚦
I think he already did.
thats a good fuckin idea. I bet they'd make better music than that shitty blink band
You mean have Tom join their project??
Or scott
Cubensis Flashback YES!!!!

They were number 1 on the charts 5 years ago
What a great interview. Asked and answered everything I could want to know in less than 7 minutes
this interviewer is so sweet and considerate ❤ i'm really excited for simple creatures ✨
Great interview guys. I was sure the track sounded like Feldmen was in involved. Great song and I'm really excited to hear the EP in March. Thanks for the video.
5:57 "Blink still the priority for 2019" - That's why I love Mark! - learn from it Tom
Elo Simbiótico mark obviously learned from Tom and copied his sound. Tom was to far ahead for blink.
I have been a fan of Mark Hoppus since I saw him play in "Of all things" at the fairgrounds in Ridgecrest CA back in the early 90s.

Why didn’t you do that with your normal band? Strong Tom shading
He *is* a good interviewer. Also, quite excited to hear this EP.
Excited to see what happens next with this band! Love what mark does !
Drug was such a good song Mark you did great!
Even Mark recognizes that this guy is a good interviewer, hey ALT 98.7FM nice hiring!
Age hits us all. If there's something you really want to do, go do it.
Did mark just leak that ATL has a record coming out this year?
Brett Burton yep. Like 2 or 3 days ago Alex ATL was in studio with Rian ATL and Zakk ATL. Jack ATL was traveling but I think they’re already meeting each other for recording some stuff. You can watch their Instagram stories which are pretty cool :)

Brilliant interview!
This was a crazy good interview
Mark is the man. The two Simple Creatures songs I have heard are catchy and outstanding. Looking forward to that sweet new blink music.

Mhm Strange love, Tom's releasing Strange times with AVA hah
they really are still the same person. same with the animated series idea. love them ❤ can someone please hug both of them but especially mark
Mark “passive aggressive shit” Hoppus
Raven Junio but even still 😂 dude made a good point
@@kafkaseyebrows what animated series is mark involved in? jw
Drug is a brilliant song and i genuinely cannot wait for the EP. Never been so hyped before. Usually have trouble motivating myself to listen to new music even from bands and stuff that i like already but like hooooly hell i want this now please.
i agree !!! its so good and different from atl or blink but its so good
Its pretty mediocre at best just catchy
@@modernlife1321 We all have our own opinions, I suppose. I hope you like their other songs better once they're out!
@@modernlife1321 It's terrible. Catchy is an exaggeration.
Can’t wait for all of it.
Hope they come to Vancouver
i hope they come to halifax

Que bueno que Mark ama lo que hace🎶🎸
I love him so much🤘❤️
Awesome! Go Mark!!
Thanks, Tom.
Love you Mark, you're the bestest. Let's make an album. Can't wait for new album, keep up good vibes my friend. Rockiton
Great, think about if AVA singer, blink 182 drummer and Mark were together... just imagine.......
well..
I'm so happy 😁 2 of my all time favorites created a beautiful baby ❤️🖤
The whole ATL/blink collab is kind of my favorite thing ever.
Spring, summer or fall, I’d love a new blink album mark!!
Aug EP/spring/summer full album #stoked!!
Mark looks 10 years older than his actual age
agree with you
I think that's an exaggeration
What's his age again?
@@SH4RPY actually twice the age of the song you're referring to :d
@@SH4RPY he is 46
I hope the rest of the EP is way better.
Depressed cause he misses Tom
don't we all 😭
Hahahaha
Hahahah
100% he misses him a lot

whats so crazy is how "Adams Song" is the "up next" on youtube. I can tell there are a lot of old fans here
Thank god there’s a new AVA album coming out this year.
Really? Full album???
Who? And how many times has Tom pushed back projects ... cause you he is doing his own version of space force
Tom is washed up
Cant wait til march then
Wait. There's a new All Time Low album coming out this year?!
Yoooo new blink stuff this year I'm more than hyped
2:35 @boxcarracer lol
Nathan Braswell haha
Could be but I would argue Matt Skiba and the Sekrets sounds more like Alkaline Trio than Boxcar Racer sounds like Blink.
BCR was way different
It could be that Mark did feel like BCR could have been a blink album. However, from everything I have learned about the situation, it was more that Tom didn't think Mark would want to budge from the commercial/poppy/mainstream sound of TOYPAJ that got them so much attention.

all the big things, 2nd date, anthem part 3 please

Looking forward to this music love child.
Is 2:40 a shot at BoxCarRacer ?????
I don’t want to get old :(
As long as atl stays I'm okay with it
When Mark leaks that there's going to be a new blink and all time low album this year. FUCK YESSSS
Mark is slowly starting to morph into his own Wax figurine.
I'm sorry I just ruined your 69 likes 😣
@@whatsatrench5555 It's all love friend. 🤘✌
Wait a second, he said in between All Time Low’s record and Blink’s record. Did Mark just spoil two new albums? What a guy.
Which album do you like more: Nine or Wake Up Sunshine?
Mark drinking LaCroix makes me so happy
I wish he was do another +44 album again, this project too poppy for me. :(
I feel you brother... Mark had some great lyrics and his songwriting was amazing on blink-182 (2003) and +44. I feel like if he'd continued down that creative path, he would have made some really original and powerful music.
No offense to Matt Skiba but he just doesn't seem to fit with Mark creatively
+44 was so long ago. Time flies
I loved +44, a new album from that would be awesome
I don't think there come back :( mark said it for years, 2011 ore something, that there are no plans at all :( but we can hope..
Sum Blinker likewise +44 was dope
2:33 Boxcar racer shots ?;)
March for our shared Birthday
2:40 definitely talking about boxcar
Loving the Cure shirt
The verses in Drug sounds like the last Blink album and the choruses sound like new All Time Low...what are you talking about Mark?
haha.. ya the brain reference was totally like no future
Mark thinks california sounds new😂
He might be speaking of the musical aspect of it but I agree the choruses and verses sound similar to the two. Maybe it came off differently to Mark and maybe Alex in the studio but hey.. Its really hard to separate sound from one band to another without adding in any sort of aspect from the other band
honestly I'm not a big fan of simple creatures so far but it will probably give him a refresher when doing blink stuff
mark so funy as always
jajaja
i love you mark haaaaaapaaaaaaaaaassssss!!
This dude should make a band with Tom Delonge from Angels and Airwaves.
Leandro P. Wow, they’d be a perfect pair! I hope they’d never break up..:
Yeah, and Travis Barker from +44 would be the perfect drummer for them, idk why, I just feel it.
Excited for the sound! Glad mark found his boxcar racer lmao.
So pretty much Mark's The Longshot
I can’t handle how old Mark is starting to look.
Alto palazo para Tom y Box Car Racer con eso de que el proyecto paralelo suene igual a la banda principal.
I feel old now. 😩
EU AMO ,MARK HOPPUS,DE PAÍXÃO💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
