Mark Hoppus and Pete Wentz collaborate on song for Alice In Wonderland soundtrack
Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 1/6/10 @ 3:57 PM - altpress.com
After a week of cryptic tweets between
Blink-182 vocalist/bassist Mark Hoppus and
Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, Wentz
revealed that the pair have finished a song for the soundtrack to Tim Burton's upcoming adaptation of
Alice In Wonderland. According to Wentz, it may not be the end of the partnership. "We did a song for
Alice In Wonderland, [and we] might do a few more depending on when [Hoppus] goes in with Blink," he said. "[It] sounds nothing like Blink or Fall Out Boy. Mark understands songwriting on a completely different level. It's awesome to have a chance to sit in a room with him and watch him work out a melody." However Wentz also put to rest any talk that the duo would be starting a super-group side-project. "It's just fun,"
said Wentz. "It's not a band or even a project at this state. I think between me getting Starbucks on TMZ and him gearing up for a summer of Blink, we have a lot on our hands."
All Time Low also have a song confirmed on the
Alice In Wonderland soundtrack, and the full tracklisting is expected to be released during the following weeks.
