The OC 'NEVER' uses the theme song (Phantom Planet - California) for the commercials as a few stated. The latest commercial uses 'The Reason' by Hoobastank, and "Freakin' Out" by Graham Coxon. They also use 'Paint the Silence' by South in a lot of the trailers. Hope that helps!

I know that I heard a song from the OC on a commercial a while back. I can't remember the song, but the commercial showed a satelite in outerspace at the end. I know "Dice" is played in one commercial, but I don't think that is it.

Yes it was a slow song, and I believe it was a car commercial.

So, all week I've been seeing these really quick commercials advertising the season finale for The OC. Early in the ad, and very briefly, there's some kind of punk/pop song being played. All I can remember are the words, "Waiting to begin" or something like that, and it almost sounds like Blink 182 or something they might write. Please, if anyone knows the music I'm talking about, let me know. It's been driving me mad for days now.

Thanks so much! And you're right, I often do have good ears. I'm so glad you pointed me towards this new band. Personally, I consider Blink 182 to be a punk band as well as its side-projects. I know, I know, many punk fans have turned their backs on Blink and consider punk to be more a state of mind rather than a style of music.
I feel that just because Blink manages to have harmony and melody in their music and singing, they shouldn't be lumped in as an emo band or whatever. The only concert I've ever been to was a Blink 182 concert. Their music makes me feel so many different things besides just destruction of property and rage against authority.
There seems to be a heart to that music. Listening to the words to Adam's Song, the piano in Stay Together For The Kids, the vocal harmony at the end of Feeling This or the melancholy love letter at war time being read in Violence.... They deserve so much more than to be written off as "same crappy punk music".
Perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps they're not simply a punk band. Maybe they never were for some people. All I know is, whatever you want to call it, I find it to be haunting, sad and uplifting music most of the time. If punk fans can't appreciate that and are even against music that can do that, even for just one person, then well, it makes me a bit sad. I like punk music, but then again, I guess I just don't know what real punk is. Oh well.
Thanks again.

Sorry, but Angels and Airwaves is most definitely NOT punk. I'm not just saying that because I don't believe Blink 182, Tom or anytihng made from any of the members isn't "real punk" blah blah. No, I say that because if anyone has any idea what punk music sounds like (assuming you were to label punk as a style of music), Angels and Airwaves sounds nothing like punk.
I have heard the album. Musically, especially the guitars, they sound rather U2ish. In some cases, you could describe them as U2 meets The Cure...as well as many other NON-PUNK influences...
Just because Tom Delonge is in the band, doesn't mean the band is automatically "punk".
