''Angels and Airwaves'' (a.k.a. "AVA"[[note]] Derived from the band's stylized logo, which features the letters "AAA" with the second "A" turned upside down--partially as a tribute to Tom's daughter Ava[[/note]]) is an American alternative / ProgressiveRock {{Supergroup}} formed by Music/{{Blink 182}} singer/guitarist Tom [=De=]Longe in 2005. The band has also been described as an "art project," with a multimedia initiative that includes movies, books, art, and other media. For example, the two ''Love'' albums are part of what Tom considered a more far-reaching project which also includes the feature length ''Film/{{Love|2011}}'' movie directed by Creator/WilliamEubank. The film, after [[ScheduleSlip several years of delays]] premiered at the Santa Barbara Film Festival in February 2011, received a limited one night only release on August 10th, and eventually was released on DVD in November alongside ''Love Part 2.'' The film also received a graphic novel adaptation. Capping off the ''Love'' cycle is a double EP of remixes from both Love albums and the Love film score supervised by new drummer Ilan Rubin called ''Stomping the Phantom Break Pedal.'' The first ''Love'' album was released for free by the band, similar to what Music/{{Radiohead}} did with ''Music/InRainbows'' or what Music/NineInchNails did with ''Music/TheSlip.''

* LyricalDissonance: "Sirens" from "I-Empire". It has the same upbeat, uplifting sound of all of their music...but it's about a StalkerWithACrush.

** The chorus of "Young London" can make the song sound like a laid-back party anthem about dancing at a night club. But if you pay close attention to the opening verses, it's fairly clear that it's actually a song about death--and the night club is a metaphor for the afterlife.
