Check your preconceptions at the door. Yes, Cobra Starship may have made their name on Decaydance, Pete Wentz’s vanity label. They may have toured with the likes of Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is… and Panic! At The Disco and songs of theirs may have shown up on the likes of The Vampire Diaries and 90210. However. If you think for one second that Cobra Starship are another bunch of whiny emo muppets swinging fringes like so many microphones while dressed entirely in black and spitting on the memory of Sunny Day Real Estate and The Promise Ring then you’d be wrong. Very, very wrong. Cobra Starship are a riot of colour, four to the floor disco beats and honest to God keytars. Their eighties indebted dance rock is seventeen times more likely to soundtrack making an absolute idiot out of yourself on the dance floor than crying into any diary you might have to hand. The NYC based mob may have friends in dark places but live, they’re a disco inferno, Singer Gabe Saporta’s infectious charisma and dance moves straight out of an Usher video making audiences the world over eat out of his hand. They might be on hiatus for the time being while Saporta plays in his reunited band Midtown, but when they return you can bet money that the party’s wherever Cobra Starship are, and everyone’s invited.
