blink-182 - NINE

Nine is the eighth studio album by American rock band Blink-182, released on September 20, 2019 through Columbia Records (cat# 19075963231). The band — composed of bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus, guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba, and drummer Travis Barker — began developing the album after fulfilling touring obligations for their previous release, California (2016). Although Nine is sequentially Blink-182's eighth studio album, Hoppus and Barker decided to consider it their ninth by including the band's 1994 demo album, Buddha, in their count. Hoppus also cited the significance of the number 9 as 'the number of universal love, and the number of Uranus.'
