Blink-182 is teasing something, but they're making us work for it. On Tuesday (July 23), the band shared a photo emulating a dirty, graffitied bathroom with the words "FOR A GOOD TIME TEXT 323-831-0182" written in black sharpie. Anyone curious enough to actually text the number receives this in response: "helloooo it's your favorite crappy punk rock band blink-182 🤘🏼 make sure you click the link so we can save your contact and text you a little sneak preview of our brand spanking new song 'Darkside' 😎" The text is accompanied by a link to give the band your contact info.

For those who don't want to go through the trouble of texting, the song snippet has made its way onto YouTube. "Darkside" is slated to drop on Friday (July 26). Check out blink's post and listen to the teaser below.

"Darkside" will be the fourth offering off the pop punk veterans upcoming yet-to-be-titled eighth album, which is slated for a September 20 release. They've already shared "Blame It On My Youth," "Generational Divide" and "Happy Days."

Blink is currently on tour with Lil Wayne, where they're playing Enema of the State in its entirety. You can check out a full list of tour dates here.
