History

We Don't Need to Whisper: 2005-2006

Tom DeLonge began working on the debut album, We Don't Need to Whisper, shortly after Blink-182 began their hiatus in February 2005. As rumors were floating around about the band's "indefinite hiatus", DeLonge chose to abstain for half a year from any interviews surrounding the issue and his future plans. Instead he concentrated on writing and recording in his home-based studio. In September 2005, he finally spoke publicly in Kerrang! magazine, where he unveiled the name of his new band - "Angels & Airwaves". Upon fiddling randomly for several weeks with the band's logo, Tom suddenly realized that if he were to invert the middle A of the acronym (A)ngels (A)nd (A)irwaves into what appeared to be a V, he would have the name of his daughter, Ava.

Angels & Airwaves released their first single, "The Adventure", after a fan hacked into Tom's email account and stole 5 demos from the album. "The Adventure" was leaked onto radio stations, resulting in the band having to release it on May 18, 2006. They released their first album, We Don't Need to Whisper, a few days later on May 23, 2006. The album reached 4th on the Billboard 200, and went gold.

The band toured internationally and also played at the Warped Tour as well as going to Australia and South America. The band featured also at the Grammy Awards in 2006.

I-Empire and Start the Machine: 2007-2008

On April 23, 2007, it was announced that Ryan Sinn would not play at the Free Earth Day concert at the M.I.T. campus due to difficulties within the band. Following this incident, on May 15, Sinn posted on the Army of Angels fan club message board stating that he was "no longer a part of Angels & Airwaves," and had received a call on the evening of April 19 concluding his relationship with the band.² Matt Wachter (former bassist of 30 Seconds to Mars), filled in for the show and was later confirmed as a permanent member.

The new album titled I-Empire, a departure from the heavy effects found in We Don't Need To Whisper, wаs released on Universal/Island Records. ³ I-Empire debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at No. 9 with sales of 66,000 in its first week. It also reached number one on the iTunes Top Albums chart. The first single from the new album, "Everything's Magic", was leaked onto the internet, and on August 25, 2007 it was the most requested song on California radio station KROQ. Angels & Airwaves began streaming the song on their MySpace profile on August 28, 2007. It also became available on iTunes, and reached number three on the iTunes Rock Chart on September 11, 2007, before the song was even made available for nationwide airplay. The band shot the video for the single on January 20 and 21, and it premiered on MTV2 Unleashed on February 25, 2008 The band came out with a third single "Breathe" that was released onto the internet June, 20. On June 21, 2008, DeLonge released Modlife, a social networking site and online operating system for musicians, bloggers and businesses. DeLonge's purpose is to "fix" the music industry. The band then released a documentary involving their music, titled Start the Machine.

Angels & Airwaves performed at every location on Warped Tour 2008.⁴ They also underwent a Fall tour in support of Weezer.⁵

Love - the album and the film: 2009-present

In January 2009 the band returned to the studio to begin recording their third album.⁶ On February 8, it was announced that Tom DeLonge's former band, Blink-182, had reunited.⁷ On February 10, Tom DeLonge posted a blog on Modlife stating that, "Angels and Airwaves is never going to go away." This brought an end to any lingering rumors of a possible break-up of the band due to the reunion of Blink-182.⁸ In April 2009, Atom Willard joined Social Distortion.⁹

In May 2009, it was announced that the band will release their third album and movie simultaneously on Christmas day for free.¹⁰ On June 18, 2009, it was revealed that the band's third studio album would be called Love. Love will also be the name of the band's science-fiction film, formerly titled I-Empire. The name of the movie has been changed due to it having more to do with the upcoming Love album rather that the band's I-Empire album. DeLonge has compared the upcoming album to Pink Floyd's The Wall, as he was quoted saying: "It is the biggest release of my life, the pinnacle of my creativity. It's super conceptual and highbrow in many ways, very artistic, very Stanley Kubrick, but it's not a rock opera. It's a very modern version of what could happen when you blend the film industry and the music industry together in a very, very arty, kind of cool way with professionals involved all along the path."¹¹

The band's frontman also stated that the thrid album would be spawning three singles, the first to be titled "Home Road" and the second, "Inspirations". Tom also included that he would be releasing the new blink-182 song (which is to be released), Up All Night into this new album.
