When Your Heart Stops Beating

Untitled

When Your Heart Stops Beating is the title of (+44)'s upcoming debut album, which will be released November 14, 2006. The album will be available in three different colors: blue (as pictured), pink and green. A recurring theme of the album appears to be the future and since Mark Hoppus has claimed the album is written on a personal level, this could be referencing life after blink-182.

Songs

• "No It Isn't" was the first song released by (+44). It was available for download on their official site on December 13, 2005, which happened to be the day the ex-bandmate from blink-182, Tom DeLonge was scheduled to release material from his new band, Angels and Airwaves. This date also happens to be DeLonge's birthday.

In an interview, Mark Hoppus stated that the version of "No It Isn't" released in December was a demo; the album version, as well as the live version, has a new drum track, as well as an extra verse at the end of the song.

Travis Barker has stated that there were 500 limited edition copies of the "No It Isn't" single, which were packaged in with 500 pieces of merchandise ordered from the band's website.

• "Lycanthrope" was the second song released by the band. It was available for download on their official site on September 1, 2006.

• "When Your Heart Stops Beating" was first released over KROQ radio.

• On October 25, 2006, the song and "Cliff Diving" was leaked on the Internet from the album sampler. Even though it was the fourth song given to the public, it was the first leak not prohibited by the band.

• A "Cliff Diving" 7" Vinyl will be included in the preorder of When Your Heart Stops Beating from newburycomics.com, smartpunk.com or interpunk.com. An instrumental version of "Cliff Diving" will be included on it.
