In 2005, my favorite band of all time, blink-182 the band that got me into the whole punk rock scene announced a indefinite hiatus, the reason for it was that the were unhappy with each other, and I thought that nothing good would come out of this.
But from this break up came two bands (actually four bands, but Box Car Racer and Transplants were progressions of what was to come next) Angels and airwaves (Tom Delonge) and Plus 44 (Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker).
Both bands were announce in the winter of 2005 with Angels and airwaves releasing their first cd (We don’t need to whisper) on 05/2006 and the new cd (I-Empire) on 10/2007 and Plus 44 (When the heart stop beating) following soon after on 11/2006.
Angles and Airwaves have a more serious tone in their music with a jazzy low tone while Plus 44 have an upbeat chatchy theme to their music.
While AVA and + 44 sound different, they both have that ingredients that made blink 182 such an amazing band.
If you were a fan of blink 182 then I highly recommend that you give these bands a listen.
For AVA i recommend :
The Adventure , Distraction , the Gift, It Hurts (from We Don't Need To Whisper)
Everything is Magic, Breathe, Secret Crowds, True Love ( I-Empire)
For + 44 i recommend:
When My Heart Stop Beating, Baby come on, No it isn't, make you smile, cliff diving, Lycanthrope (when your heart stop beating)
