the lingering confusion of blink-182's abruptly announced hiatus. Although no specific release date for an album has been
set, DeLonge claims that his new project will be "the best music made in decades" as well as being "much more powerful, emotional

According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, DeLonge trademarked the name "Angels & Airwaves"
on June 24, 2005 amidst the lingering confusion of blink-182's abruptly announced "indefinite hiatus". DeLonge quickly recruited
friends and fellow musicians David Kennedy, Ryan Sinn and Atom Willard to round out the band's roster.
In an interview with British magazine Kerrang! DeLonge commented about the band's beginning: "Just before
all the blink-182 shit happened when we were in Europe, I had a really weird epiphany. My heart was beating about a hundred
miles a minute for three weeks straight and it had never happened to me before in my life. I really felt like I'd been touched
by something and I felt I was meant to do something massive."
