Tom DeLonge Thanks Fans For ‘Insane Response’ to ‘Rebel Girl,’ Praises Blink-182’s New Song

Tom DeLonge’s band, Angels and Airwaves, is officially back with the gritty new tune, “Rebel Girl,” and the rocker took to Instagram on Thursday (May 9) to thank his supporters for the “insane response” to the song and the recent tour announcement. 

“I thought we would have a lot of amazing fans show up, but I never thought that we would sell stuff out within like 10 minutes,” he said.

He also showed support for Blink-182, whose new song “Blame It On My Youth” appears alongside “Rebel Girl” on Spotify’s “Rock This” playlist. “I’m super excited for those guys, it’s cool to see the evolution of their music. You’ll also see Mark’s other band, Simple Creatures. It looks like a little bit of punk rock is seeping through on the national music lovers index.”

Angel and Airwaves’ tour kicks off Sept. 4 in Tempe, Arizona, but due to a number of sold-out shows, the band will be adding more stops soon. For more information on the tour, check out the band’s website here.
