(antiMusic) It almost seems like only yesterday that Angels & Airwaves released their debut album but the band isn't messing around and a little over a year after that CD dropped they are already back with their sophomore effort, 'I-Empire,' which hits stores this week. To celebrate the release we asked Atom Willard to pick his favorite five tracks from the new CD and tell us a little bit about each one. Here is Atom with today's song "Call To Arms"This is easily one of my favorite songs I've EVER been a part of. Not only do I love the beat and feel, the whole build at the top came together so perfectly. We didn't have to work too hard on this one, it almost wrote itself, although we tried several versions of the bridge before we settled on what you hear now. It's an anthem, a get you off your ass kind of song, and it's so much fun to play live.
Just in case you didn't know Angels & Airwaves is former blink-182 & Box Car Racer guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge, Offspring drummer Atom Willard, David Kennedy from Box Car Racer and former 30 Seconds to Mars bassist Matt Wachter. Tom produced the new album. Preview some tracks from the CD, learn more about the band and CD and more - right here
