“‘Rebel Girl’ is a space-age love song that combines my enduring obsession for New Wave, pop punk and anthemic rock and roll music,” said DeLonge in a statement. “As some of you might’ve 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 everyone’s house viciously on repeat.”

The band’s last studio album The Dream Walker came in 2014 after which they also presented EP Chasing Shadows.

The co-founder and bassist of everyone’s favorite pop punk band co-founded To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science and has recently left the band to make this his sole priority.

The description on the official website reads: “To The Stars Academy strives to be a powerful vehicle for change by creating a consortium among science, aerospace, and entertainment that will work collectively to allow gifted researchers the freedom to explore exotic science and technologies with the infrastructure and resources to rapidly transition them to products that can change the world.”

Now, DeLonge has explained why the project is so important to him and why it means having to let go of Blink 182.

“The last show I played was in front of 100,000 people,” DeLonge said in an interview. “And then they wonder why I’m not doing that now and I’ll say because this is the one moment in my life where I’ll be able to look back as an old man and say, ‘Oh my god, I was a part of the team that changed the world.’”

He also explained: “I wanted to make a quick message to let you know that, from the heart, I left my band and all that I was known for because this is the moment in time where I can change the world for my kids and everybody else’s.”

He added: “I would love for you to consider doing that with us.”
