+44 are working on their new album.

The band, who were rumoured to be splitting up, have issued a statement through frontman Mark Hoppus saying:

“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…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.”
