The Airborne Toxic Event has a strange name, but they have slowly been making a name for themselves, releasing three albums that have made waves.
They were launched into the public spotlight with this song, Sometime Around Midnight, and have been making the late night rounds ever since.
In spite of the use of violins and a cello, Airborne is one of those rare musical acts that can be firmly placed in the rock category, a bit of a rare bird these days with most artists and bands venturing into the pop realm in a bid to sell more records.
The Los Angeles band hasn’t released any number one hits, although their albums have received high acclaim.
In keeping with the origin of the band’s name, from the book White Noise where a toxic cloud was released that changes the protagonist’s outlook on life and family, their songs are often about life-changing events.
