Angels And Airwaves Tickets – ‘love’ Is Actually All Around
Aptly titled with its release date in February, Angels and Airwaves’ Love was released with a lot of “love” when it appeared for free on Valentine’s Day 2010. Produced with tons of feeling and a little bit of that rocker angst that blink-182 fans have become so familiar with by way of Tom DeLonge, Angels and Airwaves’ latest dish was well received.
Appearing on DeLonge’s social networking site Modlife, fans can even donate small to find a bigger package (they will get a remixed version of “Hallucinations” done by Mark Hoppus, DeLonge’s blink-182 partner). “We were really interested in the one thing that ties everybody together in a very scientific way but a spiritual way,” DeLonge said to MTV News about his own interpretation of the new release.

The group’s original release date was Christmas 2009, but after it was pushed back the group – Atom Willard, David Kennedy, Matt Wachter and DeLonge – kept strong with the theme of love and opted for a Valentine’s Day premiere. The result wasn’t as tragic or cliché as some would think. In fact, as Kennedy revealed, “Love is the connection aspect, and if we can empower people, we can actually distribute more records that way.” Recording the third set in DeLonge’s San Diego studio, the group is proud to note that it is a total indie album.
Finding promoters in everything from Fuel Music Television to the fishing reels manufacturer Accurate Fishing, the group found peace knowing they were recording what they wanted. “This is a 100 percent independent record release, and I think because of the help, it will be by far our biggest,” DeLonge said to MTV.
The next step for the group isn’t just a set of promotional performance dates, but a feature film. The quartet, which came together in 2005 in Southern California, is set to release a theatrical version of the album Love to audiences nationwide by March. Though the sci-fi project is finished, it comes just in time as the group’s 40-date trek gets on its way. “[The film, album and tour] all coincide together to be one ambitious statement,” DeLonge said to SPIN.com. “Not only a statement – but an artistic endeavor.” Kicking off March 27th at Anaheim’s Bamboozle Left festival, the group works with AFI and openers Say Anything.
Angels and Airwaves formed from the broken pieces of blink-182, as singer DeLonge added Boxcar Racer guitarist David Kennedy, the Offspring drummer Atom Willard and the Distillers bassist Ryan Sinn to his new sound. The outfit opened up in April 2006 at the Pomona Glass House before releasing the Geffen-backed We Don’t Need to Whisper in spring. That summer the group packed up their schedule with UK and North American tour dates as they supported Head Automatica for Taking Back Sunday.
Angels and Airwaves returned with the sophomore release I-Empire and new bassist Wachter, before DeLonge returned to the stage with blink-182 in 2009. The San Diego native remained true to his “side project” trio and recorded Love during the same sessions as Blink.
