When the new millennium broke, the alternative music community was heavily saturated with popular genres such as punk, pop punk and emo.

You would think “reunion” is the most-searched term this year (spoiler alert: it wasn’t) with the number of bands regrouping in 2019. As the year aptly renamed 20ninescene quickly comes to a close, one fan asked the question we’ve all been wondering: What about Cobra Starship? Twitter user Clodagh Meaney posed the question and received a […]

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Cobra Starship took the neon-pop scene by storm with their third album Hot Mess.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Hot Mess and a time when Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta single-handedly helped American Apparel meet their annual purple hoodie quota. After nine years and four albums, Cobra called it quits in 2015, but their mark on the neon-pop movement of the mid-2000s will live on […]

It might be nearly three years since Cobra Starship released Night Shades, their last studio album. But that doesn't mean Gabe Saporta has been resting on his laurels. Since the disc—which bore the double-Platinum smash “You Make Me Feel…”—dropped in August 2011, Saporta has toured South America with his bandmates opening for Justin Bieber, gotten […]

At a recent stop on their Monumentour with Paramore, Fall Out Boy performed the song “Death Valley” with Cobra Starship/Midtown frontman Gabe Saporta. The track is taken from the band’s latest album, Save Rock And Roll, which is out now on Island Records. Check out the performance below, and let us know how you think […]

In the landscape of early-2000s pop-punk, Midtown were admittedly never the most successful band–but judging by the amount of attention they’ve received since disbanding in 2005, they certainly developed quite the cult following. In some ways, it was singer/bassist Gabe Saporta’s overwhelming success with Cobra Starship that left fans doubting a Midtown reunion would even […]
