Talk about taking it to the next level.
Tom DeLonge wishes comfort for his fans as they listen to "We Don't Need To Whisper" complete with headphones on, maybe sitting on the floor or leaning against the bed. That's how he expects that you'd get the full effect of the music of Angels and Airwaves.
DeLonge from Blink-182 fame went from the San Diego suburbs to the top of the world with the band selling over 20 million records worldwide and winning an assortment of MTV awards. With such notable happenings as Robert Smith of the Cure singing on the band's last album and Peter Townshend tipping his hat to them on stage at the San Diego show, success was evident and very definitely shining its star over the group.
Now with this new venture, Angels and Airwaves, making its debut in May 2006, and the coming of the second album now in production, he's recruited the best. Making up the stellar quartet, Box Car Racer guitarist David Kennedy, bassist Ryan Sinn, drum maestro Atom Willard as well as DeLonge. They have stepped away from the pop-punk hard rock scene into a more alternative blend of electronics and guitars mixed to give you a new, dynamic and very different sound.
The title, "We Don't Need To Whisper", came literally from DeLonge doing a mike check when the group was starting their sessions. Inspiration for their first album came from a myriad of sources including but definitely not limited to Stanley Kubrick's film, 2001, pasting pictures of dying people and burning cities on the walls to symbolize the two ends of humanity - the hope of space and all its beauty and infinity and the horror of what we as a species are capable of in killing, maiming and burning our own kind. It was the extremes and the depiction made up the core of this first album. The album tells a story and DeLonge offers cliffnotes - a look into the minds of the band as they created it.
Recently flown to New York to play a surprise show for everybody at Microsoft to help launch their new Windows Vista Software, AVA wowed the folks at this software giant with their new sound. In attendance was Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer who opened the show and launch, and he was joined by Bill Gates, Todd Bradley, etc. to launch the new software. The music was from their debut album.
Angels and Airwaves are hard at work on their second record utilizing the full capacity of the Macbeth recording studio. If their first album is any indicator, their next release is going to be a real blast. DeLonge states that there are no holds barred on this next album and that with a completely new group, the sky's the limit.
