Dogs Eating Dogs

Dogs Eating Dogs is a five-song EP from blink-182, released on 18 December 2012. It came out on their own Viking Wizard Eyes label after the band left Interscope Records, funded by the band and distributed through Tom DeLonge's digital platform, Modlife. It followed Neighborhoods, an album whose patchy making had left the band keen to rediscover working together. The songs were written, recorded, mixed and mastered in just over a month, at DeLonge's Neverpants Ranch studio in San Diego and Travis Barker's Opra Music Studios in Los Angeles.

The sound mixes punk with progressive touches, electronic drums, acoustic textures and hip-hop influences. "Boxing Day" tackles post-holiday ennui, while "Pretty Little Girl", written for DeLonge's wife, features rapper Yelawolf. Critics praised its cohesion, energy and willingness to experiment, and several now call it underrated. It debuted at number 23 on the Billboard 200, and was the last studio recording with DeLonge until 2022.
