The Band.. "Hello everybody, this is a first for me, but I couldn't wait any longer. I have a new band called 'Angels and Airwaves' and it is the most amazing music I have ever made by a long shot. You all must know, I didn't want Blink to go on hiatus, but it had to....you all will learn why...soon, but I swear to god, I am two songs from finishing the best fucking album anybody has heard in 20 years. In the next couple of weeks, you will all hear about the new band as well as the movie that is being made to tell the story of the album. But no matter what is said, or talked about, no matter what rumors are started, this is the best music made in decades....It is so much more powerful, emotional and melodic than Box Car and Blink put together, that I am currently shitting my pants, and your pants as well....until you hear more, all I can say is hold on, and prepare. I love my fans, and I promise I will not let you down, the music that we all grew to charish that was made, not only will continue, but it will be much, much better...." That was the first the world heard about Angels and Airwaves. It was posted on absolutepunk.net by Tom Delonge himself.
The first Angels and Airwaves album is expected to be released in April of 2006, although some believe that it could be released by January. "It sounds like it has the conceptual depth of Pink Floyd, the anthemic architecture of U2 but with Tom from blink writing all the melodies. All the songs are very cinematic, anthemic and epic-sounding. The music sounds angelic. Every song gives you the chills and you feel like you want to cry but you're conquering the world at the same time. It sounds like stadium rock done by a band that's meant to be the absolute biggest band in the world."
A movie is also being made, telling the story of the album, it will be released at the same time as the album. It is unknown at the moment whether it will go directly to DVD or show in cinemas. "The movie is a third documentary, a third love story and a third CGI," Tom explains."It's the story of the album, which is the story of the break-up of one of the biggest bands in the world and the creation of the world's greatest band. "We're currently making the CGI sequences and we're working with one of the leading art supervisors of 'Star Wars'. It's incredible stuff."
"The documentary part is about me, my life and creating the new band and the love story is about a girl that's on drugs and a guy that's running from his life and they come in contact with the music and it changes them. The whole idea is that even though there is struggle in your life you can find happiness and love within the worst of times." - Tom Delonge
"Just before all the blink 182 shit happened when we were in Europe, I had a really weird epiphany. My heart was beating about 100 miles a minute for three weeks straight and it had never happened to me before in my life. I really felt like I'd been touched by something and I felt I was meant to do something massive."
