Exclusive: Blink-182 Talk Split With Interscope Records
Blink-182‘s Tom Delonge took to his Twitter account Tuesday to break the news that the band “as of today, is an independent artist.” It was a rather unceremonious end to Blink’s 15-year relationship with the Universal Music Group, which began in 1997 when they signed with MCA, stretched them through their greatest commercial successes and concluded last year, when they released their Neighborhoods albumthrough DGC/Interscope. And given that Delonge accompanied the announcement with a photo of Mel Gibson, in full “Braveheart” makeup and mid “Freedom!” cry … well, one could logically assume the parting was decidedly less than pleasant. Since then, both the band and their former label have remained silent on the split.
