Angels and Airwaves and 5 - 3 victory

Won a soccer match today with the score of 5 - 3.
I didnt score but quite glad that we managed
to pick ourselves up from being down
1 - 3
to making it
5 - 3.
Gratz to those who score.

Moving on,




This is
Angels and Airwaves (AVA).
The song is titled
Secret Crowds.

Personally, i think the band has a great and
unique sound,
and they might just turn out become one of my
favorite bands.
But apparently,
Blink 182 fans are not liking wad they see in AVA.

If you listen to
AVA, you will realise that other
than the familiar voice of
Tom DeLonge (of Blink 182 fame),
the band's music is not at all similar to
Blink 182's.

Back in
Blink 182, they used to write songs
that have a very noticeable touch of
pop/punk rock.
Their songs were fun and their lyrics were catchy,
appealing to many
young listeners.

They even made fun of other music artistes,
like when they did their
"All The Small Things" video.

But now, having created
AVA,
Tom has changed his style alot.
Even the way he appears in videos and performances,
he is nothing like the
Tom every1 used to love.
His much more
serious now.
So people are labeling him as a
sell-out,
becoming something that he once mocked.

Of course, not everybody hates
AVA.
I think Tom reached a part of his life where he felt
that he needed to move on.

He is
married, with kids.
You cant imagine a man like that
singing to the tune and lyrics of
"
Damnit" and "What's My Age Again".
I think the sound of
AVA is just right for him.

So yea, the music industry can be quite
harsh.
But fortunately for
AVA, they've managed to attract
quite a following.

But not as much as how
My Chemical Romance
has gained
worldwide popularity
after they "sold" their
post hardcore sound,
to turn into a very much
alternative rock band.
Their early fans totally hate them now.
But look at what they've gained.

Well i dunno why i'm blogging about music.

But can you imagine life without music?
