Blink-182 & Tom DeLonge

For those of you familiar with Tom DeLonge you probably know he is the lead vocalist and guitarist of the well known pop punk band Blink-182. I've known and loved Blink-182 for a long time now and I recently made a few new discoveries about Tom DeLonge as well.

I feel like everyone is familiar with Blink-182, so I don't have much to say about them. They were in town a year or two ago and I really regret not going to their concert at Blossom. Here are some of my favorite Blin-182 songs.

I was just looking through my collection of CDs a couple of months ago and I found my very first ever burned mixtape, it has to be close to 10 years old. I listened through it and it sure did bring back memories. There was one song that I just had to look up because I remembered it and liked it so much. I loved it because the singer's voice reminded me of Blink-182! Well what do ya' know, the lead singer of this band, Box Car Racer, was the same as the lead singer of Blink-182.

Box Car Racer was only together for two or so years and I really only like a couple of their songs. Here is my favorite.

After discovering that DeLonge had other music other than Blink-182 I delved further into his musical career. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that he had formed another band as well, Angels & Airwaves. I had definitely  heard of this band before but I was unfamiliar with them and had no idea that DeLonge was a member. 

From my basic research Angels & Airwaves was a band that Tom DeLonge started when the members of Blink-182 decided to take an indefinite hiatus in 2005. It seems that DeLonge found some other musicians and formed Angels & Airwaves, while other members of Blink-182 formed the band +44. I am unfamiliar with +44 although now I may decide to look into them. Since Blink-182's reformation in 2009 +44 has broken up, while Angels & Airwaves has continued to create music. Here are a few of my favorite Angels & Airwaves songs, In addition to a single off of their most recent EP.
