小簡介 “天使與電波”樂隊（Angels & Airwaves）是由前Blink 182樂隊主唱湯姆·迪朗格（Tom DeLonge）在Blink 182解散之后組建的，毫無疑問，如今大多數關注Angels & Airwaves音樂的歌迷都曾經是Blink-182樂隊的歌迷。但在大家聽過Angels & Airwaves去年的首張專輯《We Don't Need to Whisper》之后，大多數歌迷都會感到失望，因為我們在Angels & Airwaves這里再也找不到與Blink 182相似的基因。在第一張專輯《We Don't Need to Whisper》面世之前，Tom DeLonge就不只一次地表示他不會再做與任何Blink-182樂隊風格類似的音樂。從這兩張專輯來看，Tom Delonge果然是言出必行。看來，懷念Blink-182的歌迷們是很難在Angels & Airwaves身上找到安慰了。 With the hiatus of pop-punk superstars blink-182 in full effect by the fall of 2005, singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge revealed the formation of his new band — one he'd already been working with for six months — Angels & Airwaves. With the notoriety of his previous group, much hype ensued after the announcement: in interviews with outlets like mtv, DeLonge proclaimed (among other things) that the new music would take elements of bands like U2 and Pink Floyd and ultimately be something of a revolution to change the face of rock & roll forever. Rounding out brainchild and songwriter DeLonge were guitarist David Kennedy (Boxcar Racer, Hazen Street), drummer Atom Willard (Rocket from the Crypt, the Offspring), and bassist Ryan Sinn (the Distillers). Angels & Airwaves unveiled themselves live on April 12, 2006, to a sold-out crowd at Pomona, CA's Glass House; their shimmering, arena-ready debut, We Don't Need to Whisper, appeared that May on Geffen. A few U.K. festivals and a month-long North American headlining tour followed before the band served as openers with Head Automatica for Taking Back Sunday on nationwide arena dates. In 2007, after replacing Sinn with 30 Seconds to Mars bassist Matt Wachter, Angels & Airwaves released their second album, the equally dramatic but hookier I-Empire. 更多>>
