Gotta thank my daughter, Lindsey, who introduced me to Angels and Airwaves. We went to hear them in concert last night, and I have to say, I was really impressed! These guys have something unique and fresh musically. Can't really think of another band that really sounds like these guys. Angels and Airwaves, or AvA for short, is on a leading edge of a new type of music: Space Rock. Of course, the lead singer of the band, Tom DeLonge (from Blink 182), is a talented singer/songwriter, but what even stood out more to me is that he is a brilliant visionary, with great branding and marketing skills, too. (Or he has some brilliant marketing and branding people around him.)
The live concert was executed masterfully. Another thing I appreciated about it was it's simplicity...they don't over complicate their music, which seems like you could easily do with "space rock." I'm still exploring their lyrics, but it's clear to me so far, that overall they are bringing hope, rather than hate and destruction. It also didn't hurt that the sound and lights were phenomenal.
With so much of the rock music world sounding like itself, it's refreshing and really amazing to have a unique band like AvA in the mix.
