Tired of listening to "All the Small Things" or "What's My Age Again?" on repeat just to get your Blink-182 fix? Well have no fear "Neighborhoods" is almost here.

After eight years, pop punk band Blink-182 is back with a new set list.

Although their new album, "Neighborhoods" has not been released yet, leaked singles and tracks like "Up All Night" are edgier than normal for the group.

Hitting harder topics with lyrics like "everyone gets the chills, the kind that kills when the pain begins to start," the group sticks true to their mentality of singing about the ups and downs of life that all of us experience in one way or another.

The band is also rocking a harsher style than fans are used to.

On their first released single "Up All Night," the band uses a heavy guitar riff in the intro that reflects more of a hardcore rock style than their traditional "pop-esque" rock.

The new songs bring the band into the more modern genre of rock. With mature topics, the lyrics are more meaningful than ever. Don't miss out, pick up or download the album on Sept. 27.
