While The Offspring took a “touring hiatus” in 2006, Willard joined Tom DeLonge in his new group Angels & Airwaves. In an interview with Shave Magazine, he said that felt the collective experience of all the members of the band made joining very easy for him. “There’s nobody trying to figure out what is and what isn’t going to work, not just for themselves but for music and for a band, what life’s going to be like on the road and all that kind of stuff. Everybody had enough experience to just buckle down and do the work. It really has made it easier than anything else.” DeLonge remarked that Willard “has always felt to me like the single largest score in music. He is a loyal, honest and humble friend, but an even better showman.” The band, which also included former Box Car Racer/Hazen Street guitarist David Kennedy and former Distillers bassist Ryan Sinn, released their debut album We Don’t Need to Whisper in May 2006. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 and spawned several successful singles including “The Adventure”, “It Hurts”, “Do It for Me Now”, and “The War”, and Willard toured extensively with the group in support of the album.
