We Don't Need to Whisper is the debut
studio album by the American
rock band
Angels & Airwaves. Recorded at Neverpants Ranch in
San Diego,
California and produced by guitarist/vocalist
Tom DeLonge, the album was released on May 23, 2006 through
Geffen Records. In February 2005, DeLonge (who desired to spend more time with his family) departed from his former band
Blink-182 after months of heated exchanges and increasing tension within the trio and spent the following three weeks in complete isolation, contemplating his life, career, and future in music.
