Hoppus Talks New Plus 44 2008-04-12 by Jom | 12 Comments | Plus 44 frontman (and all-around good guy) Mark Hoppus recently offered a very tongue-in-cheek statement regarding a follow-up to 2006's When Your Heart Stops Beating.
Hoppus' statement is as follows:
For everyone like me who has been wondering what's going on with the +44's, here's the deal: this whole time, we've been continuing to write and demo ideas on our own.
The only thing is we've been waiting for the label to fund the recording, and this just came through. I understand everyone wondering what's the deal, and believe me, a lot has happened that I haven't posted the minutia of.
Do you like how I ended that last sentence in a preposition?
In any case, all is good. We're just guys writing songs.
But we're gonna flip it this time around. Now, just for fun, I'm going to really confuse the issue and go back to saying we're recording an electronic album with me, Travis, and Carol. And we're recording the album in Brazil.
But truthfully, thanks for the support and interest and know that we're here working as always, and as always we're creative people with a lot of ideas and energies.
But nothing is closer to our hearts than recording our own music.
In summation, people slow on the uptake can expect a Brazilian electronic album in the near future.

So are Shane and Craig out of the picture?
| | |
he was kidding.
He's just screwin around right now he doesn't have anything done.
| | |
they suck
| | |
When Your Heart Stops Beating was very enjoyable, so this should be cool.
| | |
Hope they do something cool. I have always enjoyed Mark's voice.
| | |
i look forward to this
i want to see if they get worse or better with this next release.
| | |
hope says better, but I doubt alone they can top the first which was pretty good.
| | |
looking forward to this... lol at the people that took the electronic thing seriously.
| | |
I look forward to this. I have an attachment to whatever Mark is doing since I got Dude Ranch back in the day and listened to it like ten times a day.
| | |
Awesome. Should be good.
| | |
Sarcasm?
Come on guys, good follow up to 'When your heart stops beating' please.
| | |
It will be an awesome follow up, i know it.
Although, with Carol? No, I think her time was done a long, long time ago.
