Absolute Radio: Discover real music

I've never heard of this band until i saw it associated with Shiny Toy Guns, this is an immense album, all the songs are incredible and the sound is quite unconventional and i cant really describe the genre they'd fit into, their experimentation wit different sounds really works and i cant understand how anybody wouldn't like it. Best tracks for me are: The church of hot addiction and Ballad of big poppa and diamond girl. But thats being very picky as they're all great. Expect this band to be big very fast!!!

Cobra Starship are one of my favourite bands at the present time and half of that is based solely on one track, Church of Hot Addiction is a blindin' tune. Listening to this album is the equivalent of a 1 hour workout at the gym cos you cannot help but bust a groove and bang ur head to the beat of each track. Its such a fast paced, energetic and fun album that u need to buy 2 copies cos ur bound to wear the first one out in a week. Gabes voice is just so strong and well suited to the energetic rock its thrown behind. Everybody 14-40 NEEDS this album.

The sad demise of Fall Out Boy has not been a good reason
to be cheerful, especially given the recent release of their
pitifully poor album 'Folie A Deux'.
It is not an insignificant loss.

Cobra Starship provide a worthy antidote to just such a crisis.

I have expressed enthusiasm elsewhere in these esteemed pages
for their 2007 album 'Viva La Cobra' - If you haven't heard
'Damn You Look Good and I'm Drunk (Scandalous)' then there
is a small empty space in your life waiting to be filled !

Stepping back a year or so this estimable little band's debut
'While The City Sleeps, We Rule The Streets' delivered great promise.

It's like a big clumsy puppy with feet, as yet, too big for it's body
jumping all over you in an attempt to lick your face.

Brash, melodic, verse/hook-verse/hook pop, brimful of
energy, enthusiasm and witty lyrical ideas.

Front man Mr Saporta and his young cohorts deport themselves
with fire and good grace throughout the eleven songs which
comprise this excellent little project.

There really isn't a bad song anywhere to be seen here but it is
worth drawing your attention to a few highpoints.

'It's Warmer In The Basement', 'Keep It Simple' and (of course)
the unforgettable '(Bring It) Snakes On A Plane' - from the soundtrack
to the (entirely forgettable) movie bearing the same title - all rock
along with a merry disregard for cliche and convention.

Latin-tinged 'The Ballad Of Big Poppa and Diamond Girl' is a cracker!

A fine first showing and not to be ignored.

Highly Recommended.
