APPY ENTERTAINMENT PARTNERS WITH ANGELS & AIRWAVES

Tune Runner is a cheerful and easy-to-play music game where every song in your iTunes library creates a unique level to compete with other players worldwide. No special music is needed to play the game, but Appy still wanted an original song to introduce players to Tune Runner.

“Angels & Airwaves is the perfect Tune Runner band,” said Appy Entertainment Brand Director Paul O’Connor. “Their music is upbeat and energetic, exactly complimenting the on-the-go fun of our game.”

A custom remix of “Hallucinations,” the first single from Angels & Airwaves forthcoming album, LOVE, will headline Tune Runner. LOVE is being released for free on Valentines Day, and will be available both on the band's website, www.angelsandairwaves.com, and through a unique new Facebook app.

"We love the idea of people being able to experience our music in new ways," said Tom DeLonge of Angels & Airwaves. "As a band, we believe that music is about more than just listening, and Tune Runner gives people a great new way to interact with the music. We're excited to be a part of this game right from the beginning."

“Tune Runner is a new kind of music game,” said Appy Entertainment CEO Chris Ulm. “Through Tune Runner competition, players discover and share their love of music. By featuring Angels & Airwaves in our release of Tune Runner, we will not only introduce our game to the band’s many fans, we will also give Angels & Airwaves a platform to reach gamers world-wide.”

“We’re over the moon about this partnership with Angels & Airwaves,” said Appy Project Director, Emmanuel Valdez. “Unlike other music games, players don’t have to purchase special tracks to play Tune Runner. For players without a lot of music, ‘Hallucinations’ will provide an immediate level to play, while for players with big iTunes music libraries, the Angels & Airwaves track will be icing on the cake. Angels & Airwaves fans will be excited to interact with their favorite music in a new way, and we’ve even created a custom background for Angels & Airwaves levels inside Tune Runner.”
