Angels & Airwaves have recently finished their UK tour, released new single 'Surrender' and have a new movie coming out very soon.
We caught up with Tom DeLonge as the band prepared to play London's Shepherd's Bush Empire earlier this month to discuss Angels & Airwaves ongoing success - and of course, his time in one of modern punk's biggest bands, Blink 182.
Tom told us about his ongoing goals and aims for Angels & Airwaves - plus why Blink 182 didn't last longer, and explains why modern rock bands needed to look back to the seventies great for inspiration on how to succeed in today's music scene.
Watch our exclusive interview with Tom DeLonge below.
