Former blink-182 members Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker have a new band. Named after the international dialing code for the UK, +44 will release a 7" only single on 6th November, the week prior to release of "When Your Heart Stops Beating", their debut album (Interscope).

Recruited for their new journey as +44 - pronounced "Plus 44" - Shane Gallagher (The Nervous Return) and Craig Fairbaugh (Transplants, The Forgotten, Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards) join singer-bassist Hoppus and drummer-keyboardist Barker and pick up where the popular, multi-platinum-selling band blink-182 left off after splitting in late 2004. "We were two-thirds of blink-182, so we're not afraid of sounding like ourselves," says Hoppus. "We're not divorcing ourselves from the past, but we are pushing beyond the past. We're progressing like musicians should."

+44 is not a side project or an experiment. Though Hoppus and Barker produce other artists and guest on numerous projects, +44 is #1 in their careers. Three years after the last original blink-182 album, +44 is the culmination of their surging energy and creativity.
