After promising new material by Christmas, Blink-182 have picked a release date: their new EP, Dogs Eating Dogs, is due December 18th. The EP, their first since splitting with Interscope in October, will be available in three different bundles: "Santa's Lap Package," with a special print, shirt, holiday wrapping paper and card; "Nice Package," with a special fleece, holiday wrapping paper and card; and "Naughty Package," with a special shirt and card. Preorders are available now through Blink-182's website.

"This EP is a hundred times better than Neighborhoods, because we're all in a room together," drummer Travis Barker told Rolling Stone earlier this month. "The rule is there's no rules."

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
