The band are also in Yorkshire on Sunday, appearing at the Give It A Name Festival at the Sheffield Arena, before their co-headline tour with All Time Low which checks in at Leeds at the Cockpit on Tuesday.

A driving, disco-tinged pop rock anthem, The City Is At War is taken from Cobra Starship's Patrick Stump produced album ¡Viva La Cobra,! which was released in December last year. True to form, the single is a fitting testimony to Cobra's knack for delivering killer guitar hook-laden synth-beat smashes.

Cobra Starship is the brainchild of ex-Midtown frontman Gabe Saporta. After the inclusion of their killer track Bring It (Snakes On A Plane) on the hit movie's soundtrack things soon took off and it was time for Gabe to get a full band together.

He enlisted old friends Alex Suarez and Ryland Blackington from The Ivy League for bass and guitar duties respectively, and drummer Nate Navarro, Victoria Asher took on the role of keytar, and the line-up was complete.

With the aim of, "teaching hipsters to not take themselves so seriously and telling emo kids to stop being pussies", the band released their first album - While The City Sleeps, We Rule The Streets, and extensive tours with the likes of Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, and 30 Seconds to Mars soon followed.

This year is shaping up to be an incredible year for the New York natives – they have already sold out a 50-date US headline tour and have been confirmed to play the entire Warped Tour this summer.
