Based in Los Angeles, and never really thinking he'd be a rock star, The Airborne Toxic Event's lead singer Mikel Jollett has come a long way since a fateful week in 2006. As an aspiring novelist, within one week, he found out his mother was diagnosed with cancer, his relationship broke up, and he himself was diagnosed with a genetic auto-immune disease. His writing turned from writing prose to writing songs, as he said he realized he was writing an album.
I still am not 100% sure if I truly like this band or not. Their first single, "Sometime Around Midnight" was good... and there are moments when I'll listen to it often, but other times I need to let it rest for a while. It's run on the Alternative charts was impressive, slowly climbing to a Top 5 peak Their latest single, "Wishing Well" definitely brings a more radio-friendly feel to the mix.
Enjoy for today, The Aiborne Toxic Event, and their new single "Wishing Well"
