If Hey Monday is a pop-rock Decaydance crop you've yet to harvest, have a sample of the sweet and punky quintet via their new Buzzworthy "The 5" interview. First off, the Florida group fully agrees they're all about "living the dream," whatever that means to you. Perhaps it means black V-necks and really awesome hair. And Apple products. See if you can guess which of this crew is officially Apple certified...

In case you didn't notice, Cassadee Pope is the group's sole female; she is also (coincidentally, of course) the only member who doesn't enjoy the taste of fish. Ha! That did not come from me. Neither did the joke about transitioning the band from "sausage fest" to "clam... (bake)."

OK, have I said enough? Watch and you'll even learn how Hey Monday's single "How You Love Me Now" can be distilled into a finger wag and an "un-unh!"

Yes, you remember them from their association with Snakes on a Plane, namely their single, "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)." Of course, the Sam Jackson-starring movie was an example of fabricated 'net hype that doesn't even hold up well in the guilty pleasure funny-because-it's-so-bad category because it's merely mediocre. Cobra Starship, on the other hand, seems to be nothing of the sort.

Led by Gabe Saporta, Cobra Starship is signed to Fueled By Ramen's Decaydance imprint -- founded by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump and Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy. Once "Snakes" gave the band exposure, Saporta had to form a real band to replace Maja Ivarsson (The Sounds), William Beckett (The Academy Is...) and McCoy, with who he recorded the song. That band featured Saporta is backed by guitarist Ryland Blackinton, bassist Alex Suarez (The Ivy League), drummer Nate Navarro and keyboardist Elisa Schwartz.

The band -- the original lineup and the current one with Victoria Asher on keyboards replacing Schwartz -- has logged tours with Gym Class Heroes and Panic! At The Disco, as well as with Fall Out Boy +44, The Academy Is ... and Paul Wall on the Honda Civic Tour (such an incestuous little community, isn't it?). And who can forget their surprise appearance in Fall Out Boy's VMA suite in Las Vegas? Read more...
