Fall Out Boy have announced their upcoming album, Folie A Deux, will be released on November 4th, 2008. The band has posted a new mixtape available for free download on friendsorenemies.com/falloutboy featuring brand new songs from Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is…, The Cab, Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship, Panic At The Disco, The Hush Sound and A Rocket To The Moon.

After braving a flood and grid-lock traffic that caused them to arrive two hours late to their concert, Cobra Starship still found time to conduct an interview with Driven Far Off. I was lucky enough to sit down with the genial and articulate guitar and keyboard player, Ryland Blackinton (far left in picture), at the Picador in Iowa City, IA, and ask him a few questions.

A huge thanks goes out to Kelly McWilliam of Atlantic Records, Dan Lipski, and Ryland Blackinton for making this interview happen.

- How did you and the others get involved in the band?

All Time Low has just announced an upcoming UK co-headlining tour with Cobra Starship. In addition, the band has released their run on this summer’s Vans Warped Tour. All Time Low is currently co-headlining the Rockstar/Alternative Press tour alongside The Rocket Summer, with Sonny, The Matches and Forever The Sickest Kids.

Cobra Starship has apologized for their recent performance on Conan O’Brian for being a bit lackluster. Check out a message from Gabe below.

 i dont always suck at singing

…only when i’m on national TV.

i felt much better about myself after watching this vid from when we dropped by the purevolume studios earlier this year.

but seriously, conan was a blast. nerve-wrackin, but a blast.
my dad was in the audience and kept calling me that day to tell me how amazing it was.
then he called me the next day after watching tv and said (insert thick Uruguayan accent), “you know, gabriel, i not know what eet ees–maybe is beecause dee sound does not come right thru thee television, but the show deed no do justice to how grait it reely was meng. ”

The full lineup for the 2008 Warped Tour has been announced. Check out the bands and the dates they will be playing below.

Cobra Starship’s new video for “The City Is At War” can be seen below.

October 24th, 2007—The 9:30 Club, Washington, D.C. A high-ceilinged, cavernous room, equipped with the relatively small stage, ample floor space, and spacious balcony seating well-suited for the intimate big band shows the 9:30 Club is known for are all part of the setting visible to the plethora of young rock fans awaiting the headliners of the Sleeping with Giants Tour. It’s approximately 9:00, and after enjoying, and inevitably singing and dancing with and moshing to, the four other bands in the diverse lineup offered to fans on this tour (The Rocket Summer, Sherwood, Armor for Sleep, and the recently added Cobra Starship), the audience is restless, some migrating to the close by merch tables and others even daring to venture to the club’s sports bar.

Cobra Starship’s new video for “Guilty Pleasure” can be seen below. The song is off the bands new album, Viva La Cobra!, in stores now.
