Cobra Starship has been a guilty pleasure of mine for a while. Being from the great state of New Jersey (and going to the same high school as frontman Gabe Saporta), I had been a Midtown fan (Gabe's previous band) since early 2000 when I first heard their debut album, "Save the World, Lose the Girl." And while it was sad to see them effectively disband back in 2005, it was plain to see that Midtown wasn't going to break out like it seemed they would in 2001.
Cobra Starship, on the other hand, is finally making Gabe the star he always wanted to be. The single just hit #40 on the Top 40 radio chart, and their Myspace page has over 15 million hits.
Their new single ("Good Girls Go Bad") features Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl. I've never watched Gossip Girl and I didn't know who Meester was before hearing that she'd be recording a track with CS. She sings a verse and her voice fits in perfectly with the tone and topic of the song.
Stream it here and feel guilty with me.
