The San Diego, California USA-based Alternative-Rock all-star band Angels
& Airwaves was formed in late 2004 when Blink-182
vocalist + guitarist Tom DeLonge announced that he would be coming out
with a new CD with a new band.
The project also featured Boxcar Racer
guitarist Dave Kennedy, ex-The Distillers
bassist Ryan Sinn and drummer Atom Willard from The
Offspring.
The group's debut album, "We Don't Need To Whisper", was issued
on Geffen Records in May 2006, the 10-song set shot to #4 on The Billboard
200, peaked at #3 on the Top Canadian Albums chart and reached the top
10 in the U.K. on the strength of the main single "The Adventure"
which hit #5 on the U.S. Hot Modern Rock chart and rocketed into the top
20 in Great Britain. The CD also spawned two more American Modern Rock
radio hits in the top 30 "The War" and "Do It For Me Now".
In June 2007, after Ryan Sinn was ejected from the band, Angels &
Airwaves revised their line-up with bassist Matt Wachter, formerly of
30 Seconds To Mars.
In November 2007 the quartet released their second album, "I-Empire".
The disc debuted at #9 on The Billboard 200, it was prefaced by the single
"Everything's Magic" which reached the #11 position in The Hot
Modern Rock chart.
Angels & Airwaves will release their third studio album, "Love",
on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2010 and it'll be free; DeLonge and company
have selected "Hallucinations" as the first single to represent
their new project. "Love" will also be accompanied by a film
of the same name, which will also come out for free.
