New Box Car Racer music is on the way.

Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker of Blink-182 launched the side project back in 2002, and now, they have some new music cooking.

Speaking with the Tuna on Toast With Stryker podcast, DeLonge said a new Box Car Racer song is finished. “Travis [Barker] and I recorded a new Box Car song,” he said. “We did it a couple of years ago.”

DeLonge added that since the 20th anniversary of the first Box Car Racer album is coming up next year, the song seems destined to arrive.

“Yes, we are gonna put this out and it’s probably perfect timing now that we’re at that anniversary,” he said. “We didn’t right now because I had this big release coming up and I had to focus on finishing it,” he adding, referencing Angels and Airwaves’ Lifeforms.
