History

Formation and 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 "break-up", 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 band 's acronym 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 four 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 for most of 2006 and then retreated to the studio at the end of the year to record the follow-up.

I-Empire: 2007–2008

On April 23, 2007, AVA 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.

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

Love: 2009–present

Love is the third studio album by Angels & Airwaves, which was officially released worldwide on February 14, 2010 after being delayed from Christmas 2009. Fuel.tv also released it two days earlier for Modlife members, along with Mark Hoppus' remix of Hallucinations available to those who donated when downloading the album.6 The album was released free of charge due to "corporate underwriting". They began producing it in January 2009 but progress was slow due to blink-182 reuniting and going on tour. AVA finished the album in time for its release on Valentine's Day 2010. The first single from the album, "Hallucinations," was made available for free through the band's Modlife on December 23, 2009. The band have also released the video via Modlife on March 7, 2010.

Love was downloaded nearly 500,000 times during the first 48 hours after its Valentine's Day release.

The band will tour North America, starting March 27 in Anaheim, CA. The journey, which touches down in 28 North American markets, wraps up May 30 in Ventura, California. Tom has revealed that there will be another tour after the release of the movie later in the year to support the LOVE project. This tour is rumored to have UK dates.7

Live history

At concerts the band is known for its showmanship and also for their effects-laden performances.

Delonge frequently solo-performs Blink-182 songs "I Miss You", "Down", "Reckless Abandon", and "Not Now" during concerts, leading into songs such as "The Adventure" or "Rite of Spring". He has also performed Box Car Racer's song "There Is" as a solo piece or with David Kennedy, who played in the band with him. The whole band has joined in on performing "My First Punk Song" on several occasions â€” another song by Box Car Racer.

Other media

Start the Machine is a rockumentary that focuses on the break-up of Blink-182, the genesis of Angels & Airwaves, and the making of their debut album We Don't Need to Whisper. It was released on DVD on June 17, 2008.89 Start the Machine was filmed over a course of almost 3 years.

Love (formerly titled I-Empire) is a science fiction film to be released sometime in April 2010.citation needed In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Tom was asked what the movie Love was about. He said, "It starts in the Civil War and you travel through time and space. There's a couple of different storylines. The main one is, a guy gets sent up to the International Space Station, and he gets abandoned up there. He doesn't know why. So throughout his years of being stuck up there, he sees the Earth starting to collapse below. He ends up basically becoming the last person alive. And then decades later, he wakes up one day and there's something outside of his spaceship, in low Earth orbit with him."10 The official movie trailer was released on Apple Trailers on Friday, October 30, 2009, and is available on Modlife.11
