Tap Tap Thursday Presents: The Airborne Toxic Event – Wishing Well by Ed

December 31st, 2009

Airborne Toxic Event
The Band: THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT

The Jam: WISHING WELL, from their self-titled debut album.

Sometimes playing Tap Tap Revenge is social experience. You’re online, talking trash and dropping bombs, tapping out suckers left and right.

But sometimes, it’s a very intense, passionate affair, and you become Tap Tap Possessed. The song infiltrates your consciousness, and you visualize the music. Your fingers flawlessly find all the Tappers, your score rolls higher, and the fever builds. You decide to let dinner burn, or postpone sleep for another night, or retake the entire semester.

This week’s FREE track WISHING WELL is the perfect soundtrack for that magical game of TTR. Birthed in the Los Feliz area of L.A. in 2006, The Airborne Toxic Event are rapidly becoming indie-rock superstars, due their abundance of unapologetic emotion, undeniable melodies, and unrestrained talent. Moving beyond the rigid verse-chorus song structure, they’ve found a place where the songs create their own life, pulsing, pumping, and climbing to a powerful, cathartic release. In the year since their debut release, they’ve toured the world, taking the stage at Coachella, SXSW, Lollapallooza, and the Fuji Festival. These guys (and girl) are The Goods.

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC CONTEST

UPDATE: Congratulations to the winners! Grand prize: Chris_Liquid. Runner up winners: flipfox, iPANPAN, 2old2tap, griffindoor, dunniehigh.

Believe it or not, some people were upset there was no TTThursday track last week, despite the abundance of new free music available in the game itself. And we’re happy about that. It means the subliminal code in the graphics designed to get you desperately addicted to Tap Tap Revenge is working, and we will soon turn on our Tap Zombie Army.

But before that happens, we’re going to run this week’s give-away, THE AIRBORNE TOXIC CONTEST:

The Loot: Grand Prize: AN AUTOGRAPHED ELECTRIC GUITAR!! Runner up prizes: Five copies of the Airborne Toxic Event’s latest album, signed by the band.

How to win: It’s a battle contest! Send and play battles on Wishing Well by Airborne Toxic Event. Every battle you WIN counts as one contest entry. It doesn’t matter if you sent it or played it off the public battle board — any won battle on the featured track counts in this contest. At the end of the contest, we’ll take the top 50 players with the most entries and draw the winners.

The contest runs from Friday, January 1st at 12:01 AM PST through Tuesday, January 5th at 11:59 PM PST. You must complete all battles while online, during the contest period. Any battles played or sent outside the contest period will not be counted.

  3. Ok,so I think there should be track packs for bands that there aren’t already track packs for..bands such as:
    green day
    panic! at the disco
    paramore
    all time low
    boys like girls
    cobra starship
    3oh!3

    I think alot of people would appreciate having there artists and I would definately buy them(:

  4. I bought the 2 pack a few weeks ago, it’s my favorite theme in TTR3. I’ll definately enter the contest too.

    This type of contest really suck… really really suck…

    the challenges are very subjetive… and even if i win every single contest published in the battles board (which i do hehehe) i’m tied to other people’s plays…
    and if i send a challenge to my friends… i’m pretty sure they won’t play it… it’s just a drag to play those easy but good songs….

    i think you should make more contest based on scores or i dunno, they are more fair…

    BY THE WAY… I’M ENTERING THE CONTEST AND AMINIG FOR THE GUITAR! hope I win…

  30. All yah nikkas suck go suk a d@$& bi***

  31. I need help too! I can’t buy girl clothes. AND I for some reason was set back about 7 levels when I started playing today… Not happy about that

  32. oh also it would be great to vote for new music in the tap store. especially since so much of the free music is stuff I’ve never heard and some I just don’t care for at all..,

  33. Lol noooooo way!!! I missed the contest!!!!!! :( gl to the top 50 :)

  34. How do we find out who even is in the top 50?
