Angels & Airwaves, a menudo abreviado como AVA, es una banda de rock alternativo que ha cautivado al público con su sonido atmosférico y su inclinación por explorar temas profundos e introspectivos. Fundada en 2005 por Tom DeLonge, ex-guitarrista y vocalista de Blink-182, la banda ha evolucionado para convertirse en un proyecto multimedia que incluye no solo música, sino también cine y literatura.
Tras su salida de Blink-182 en 2005, Tom DeLonge buscaba un nuevo camino musical y creativo. Con la intención de crear algo más significativo y trascendental que su trabajo anterior, formó Angels & Airwaves. El nombre de la banda fue elegido por su simbología espiritual y mística, representando un puente entre la tierra y lo celestial.
Inicialmente, AVA estuvo compuesto por Tom DeLonge (voz y guitarra), David Kennedy (guitarra), Atom Willard (batería) y Ryan Sinn (bajo). Cada miembro aportó su propio estilo y experiencia, ayudando a esculpir el sonido único de la banda. En 2006, lanzaron su álbum debut, We Don't Need to Whisper, el cual fue bien recibido tanto por los fans como por la crítica.
Tras el éxito de su primer álbum, el grupo lanzó I-Empire en 2007. Este disco consolidó su estilo característico, con canciones profundamente emotivas y sonoridades expansivas. A lo largo de los años, la formación de la banda ha cambiado varias veces. Ryan Sinn fue reemplazado por Matt Wachter,

I will run the streets, and hostile lands,
I will touch the rain with all I have.
I will breathe the air, just scream it loud,
My feet will never touch the ground.
Because the days they feel like ancient clocks,
Like when kids grow up and learn to walk.
Because your life is full of pure desire,
A place so gloriously wired.
With lights and sounds,
Oh God, this is such a mess,
And it's like our world,
But we're the last ones left.
And the hair it stands,
On the back of our necks,
And I swear it shows,
Heaven must be just like this.
Do you see the hills beneath the clouds?
The stars as trails to lead you out.
Can you sense the pain? It's everywhere,
And if you try, you'll never care.
And the love you had,
When you were young,
Is right outside for all to come.
Because your life is full of pure desire,
A place so gloriously wired.
With lights and sounds,
Oh God, this is such a mess,
And it's like our world,
But we're the last ones left.
And the hair it stands,
On the back of our necks,
And I swear it shows,
Heaven must be just like this.
If you see the light break through the clouds,
And fire up at distant towns,
Well the world will be begin, exactly how it ends.
When you call for love, when you are lost,
For ever more or whatever it costs,
And the world will begin, exactly how it ends.
