V E Flim Is Going To Be On Sale On Valentines Day 2011 Also The New Album.

“Now that this is the future, it can’t just be different, it has to be better. I want to change how music is made, I want to change how music is marketed, I want to change how music is delivered – and I’m gonna do it,” declared guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge. Bold wo...rds from an equally bold musician. But not surprising given his musical track record. Fans and critics alike won’t be surprised when he actually pulls it off. Angels & Airwaves, commonly known as AvA, set out to be a cutting-edge band, and their third studio album will be no exception. The album, entitled LOVE, will be available on February 14, 2010. For Free. The band believes that they can forge corporate/brand partnerships for funding their album’s marketing and distribution costs, allowing them to deliver the album for free to fans around the world. They’ve spent two years making the album and polishing the concept. “It’s a leap of faith, but we believe that this is the future,” said DeLonge. “The possibilities are endless. This can put an end to the way things were done and create the way things will be in the music business.” The band is quick to acknowledge that other artists have put out free albums, and there is certainly free music to be found on the internet. So while not revolutionary from a pricing standpoint, the concept is a byproduct of the band’s deep belief that music should be available to the fans for free. Further to that, AvA feels the corporate funding element makes their model unique. “It’s about breaking down barriers of doing business the same old way,” said DeLonge. “Our decision came from a place of angst – we were fed up and disappointed with record labels who wouldn’t provide the most basic financial support, while a major corporation would offer millions to license :30 seconds of one song for a commercial. That told us something was really off, and that we as artists could make money a different way, and actually create a better model for ourselves and the fans.”
