After a brief hiatus, Blink-182 reunited in 2009 and released (2009), which saw the band returning to their pop-punk roots. The album was well-received by fans and critics alike, and they followed it up with Neighborhoods (2011), a more experimental and darker effort. In 2013, the band released California , their seventh studio album, which marked a new era for the band with the addition of Matt Skiba (formerly of Alkaline Trio) replacing Tom DeLonge.
