If you’re anything like this book-obsessed, music-devoted girlie pop, you may or may not have rolled out of bed at 3 AM ET this morning with a strong ass coffee ready to spiral into absolute oblivion over episode 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty season three. I said, may have—this is a judgement-free zone! While most of the episode was spent white-knuckling a throw pillow thanks to the mounting tension between the emotionally complicated cast (we’re really looking at you during this episode, Taylor and Steven), one of the most gut-punching—and beautifully soundtracked—moments hit in the final minutes of… Read more »

Cobra Starship is officially back and about to make their legendary return to Warped Tour—this time hitting the stage at Long Beach. On this episode of idobi Warped Radio, Gabe Saporta and Victoria Asher (aka Vicky-T) sit down with Peyton Grufik of idobi Radio to rewind the clock and relive the neon madness of their rise, one purple hoodie and keytar riff at a time.
From the moment online AI started claiming Cobra Starship’s name was inspired by Lilo & Stitch (Gabe confirms: he’s never seen it) to performing “One Night” at a party on 90210 (which Vicky had to remind Gabe of), the interview is packed with hilarious behind-the-scenes stories. The duo also dish on what it was like collaborating with Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester on “Good Girls Go Bad” and how Gabe ended up on the show himself in a brief cameo alongside Blake Lively. Plus, Vicky-T laughs about the label-directed remake of their “Guilty Pleasures” video, which the band took the opportunity to poke fun at.
Gabe and Vicky reflect on their first and only Warped Tour appearance in 2008, why they ended the band in 2015, and how it feels to be stepping back into the world of Cobra after nearly a decade away. Spoiler: It’s way more fun now. They talk candidly about growing pains, evolving lineups, and the way the music industry became less about community and more about competition.
Through it all, one thing is clear: Cobra Starship have brought the party back to life!
Following the release of “Pill To Swallow,” Softcult is back with “Naive.” The shimmering shoegaze track is raw, touching on the moment when the rose-colored glasses fall off. Softcult notes of the song, “It’s about coming to the painful realization that the person, idea, or reality we trusted and believed in never really existed in the first place. This song is about the moment the scales fall from our eyes after we realize we’ve been romanticizing someone or the idea of someone. After this moment, we’re no longer able to see them or the world as innocently as we did… Read more »
