Since its formation in 2005, Angels & Airwaves (AVA) has strived to be more than just a rock band. AVA has embraced multimedia technology to become an art project that encompasses a wide vision of human themes, all imprinted with a unique musical soundtrack. The innovative experience that is AVA supports an independent ethos that unites several different artistic mediums, including not only self-released songs and albums but videos, films, live events and a novel approach to fan-artist interaction. The group of friends and like-minded musicians who make up AVA includes frontman/guitarist Tom DeLonge (from blink-182); guitarist David Kennedy (from Hazen Street and Box Car Racer); bassist/keyboardist Matt Wachter (from 30 Seconds to Mars), who joined in 2007; and drummer Ilan Rubin (from Nine Inch Nails) who joined in late 2011. The band's goal from the beginning was to create an artistic spirit that departed significantly in style and scope from any of the musicians' previous efforts. Their resulting vision is an unparalleled multi-sensory experience that engages both imagery and sound. AVA has released four studio albums: 2006's gold-certified We Don't Need to Whisper ; 2007's I-Empire , which rocketed into the Top 10 of Billboard's Top 200 charts; and 2010's free downloadable album, LOVE. To date, AVA has sold more than two million albums worldwide and given away nearly one million downloads of L )VE . AVA's albums have featured chart-topping singles that became mainstays at modern rock stations around the globe. The band's fourth studio album— LOVE Part Two —was released on 11-11-11, alongside the release of the critically-acclaimed independent film, LOVE . In addition to his frontman duties, DeLonge was also executive producer of t he accompanying feature film and as part of the band's vision for crossing over into different mediums, AVA also created the soundtrack for the film. During the summer of 2011 , Angels & Airwaves Presents LOVE Live was broadcast to more than 460 movie theaters nationwide. Fans were then treated to a screening of the thought-provoking feature , which explores the psychological effects of isolation when an astronaut becomes stranded in space, while he orbits a dying Earth below. #AngelsAndAirwaves #Surrender #Vevo #Rock #VevoOfficial #OfficialMusicVideo
