Tom DeLonges Angels and Airwaves unveiled their first new song in three years, Rebel Girl, while they also announced a fall tour that will mark their first trek since 2012.
Rebel Girl is a pulsing love song that finds DeLonge bellowing over a melange of synth sounds, Do you want to go back to where we started/Back before we were broken hearted/Come my way, come come/I gotta tell ya,/The shoe fits my little Cinderella.
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 mightve 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 everyones house viciously on repeat.
