Following the release of his latest offerings “SABOTAGE//” and “YOU NEEDED A HIT//,” KennyHoopla and longtime collaborator, Travis Barker, have partnered up once again for a 3-track capsule project release titled, BLINK AND YOU’LL MISS IT//.
Across the release, KennyHoopla‘s edgy, genre-blending sound and Barker‘s powerhouse drumming skills culminate in an explosive climax. Standout single “MARRY KILL F*CK//” epitomizes KennyHoopla’s raw energy and infectious punk-rock spirit while calling back to a handful of pop-punk references including one to Barker’s bandmate Tom DeLonge through the line, “And everyone is recommending me their therapist/They believe in God/Don’t believe in aliens.”

Of the release, Kenny shares, “This capsule is just a batch of songs I made to accompany and celebrate the blink-182 tour! Some old ideas and some new. Just wanted to have fun and make music. There’s a lot of nostalgia, grief, and even hope mixed in. BLINK AND YOU’LL MISS IT// just kind of represented this tour being a next level for me as an artist and how challenging it can be to live in the moment when the moment can feel unbelievable. Time flies, and there’s no more time to waste. I’m also so honored to be putting out music with Travis for a second time, especially right before I join him on blink-182’s tour.”
