Angels & Airwaves is an American rock supergroup led by Blink-182 guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge. Other members are guitarist David Kennedy (from Over My Dead Body, Hazen Street and Box Car Racer), bassist Eddie Breckenridge (from Thrice) and drummer Ilan Rubin (from Lostprophets and Nine Inch Nails). Former members are bass guitarist Ryan Sinn (formerly of The Distillers), drummer Adam "Atom" Willard (formerly of The Offspring and Rocket from the Crypt), and bass guitarist Matt Wachter (formerly of Thirty Seconds to Mars).
Formed after Blink-182 went on hiatus in 2005, the band has continued
to record and tour despite DeLonge reigniting his career with Blink-182
in 2009. The band has released four studio albums We Don't Need to Whisper (2006), I-Empire (2007), Love (2010) and Love: Part Two (2011). The project also resulted in the documentary film Start the Machine (2008). In 2011, accompanying the two Love albums, the group scored and produced the science fiction drama film Love by director William Eubank in 460 theatres nationwide during their multimedia event, Love Live. The band will release their fifth album on October 31, 2014.[1]
Of the first two albums, the band says that they were mainly influenced by the music of Radiohead and Pink Floyd, combining them with the grandiosity of U2.[2]
Of the first album, Delonge said that it would be "the best music in
generations", but afterwards admitted that during this time he was
addicted to painkillers.[3] Love
project shows further blending of the band's musical aspirations of
epic and grandiosity and the cultural revolution in the digital era.[4]
