Angels & Airwaves

Posted by on December 14 at 12:27 PM

No one except the band members know exactly why Blink 182 broke up, but if you ask me, I think it’s ‘cause guitarist Tom DeLonge is crazy. Now the former pee and poop obsessed pop punker is hyping his new band, Angels & Airwaves. Though the record isn’t coming out until next year (no date has been set), DeLonge’s said this about his new project: “I swear it’s going to be something that will compete with the greatest rock records of all time.” He also claims that “within two years, we’ll be the biggest rock act in the world.”

As my hilarious friend Mac says, “Not since Axl have we seen someone so delusionally self-important.”

You can get a sneak-peak of the new stuff at www.angelsandairwaves.com, and boy do they take themselves seriously.
