The band’s third release, “Love,” arrives as a free digital download February 14th. DeLonge self-financed the collection, but hopes to recoup his money through sponsorships, touring, merchandise sales, premium downloads, and by selling a deluxe edition of “Love” with 30 minutes of bonus material. DeLonge says, “We’re redefining the music business and I honestly think we’re going to be 10 times bigger because of it.” “Love” will be available for free on the band’s website, while the deluxe version will be sold via online retailers. In addition, the music will be tied to a “Love” movie that’s due in theaters later this year. As for Blink-182, DeLonge confirms that recording will start soon and the band are talking with their label about a 2011 release.
