Tom DeLonge took a break from hunting UFOs to record “Rebel Girl” with his band Angels & Airwaves. “Rebel Girl,” not to be confused with the classic Bikini Kill song with the same title, is Angels & Airwaves’ first new music in three years, following the 2016 EP Chasing Shadows. According to the press release, “Rebel Girl” is the debut single off a forthcoming “album and feature film project.” DeLonge founded Angels & Airwaves in 2005 while he was still in Blink 182, which he left in 2015.
“Rebel Girl is a space-age love song that combines my enduring obsession for New Wave, pop punk and anthemic rock and roll music,” DeLonge said in a statement. “As some of you might’ve heard, I recently took a brief minute to start up an aerospace company, so you never know – I may play this song from a satellite deep in space, beamed toward everyone’s house viciously on repeat.”
DeLonge, along with Angels & Airwaves guitarist David Kennedy and drummer Ilan Rubin, will kick off a North American tour, the band’s first tour in seven years, in the fall. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 3.
