Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas

“Loveless Fascination” the band’s new record marks another important turning point for the group, which has one of the most storied histories in rock’n’roll.

“In some ways, this feels like a ’70s record. It’s organic, and there’s a real edge to it,” says Mickey Thomas, the frontman for Starship.

The venerable San Francisco band behind several of the 20th century’s biggest pop and rock anthems (“We Built This City,” “Sara,” “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now”) is simply talking about the vibe of his band’s new album, Loveless Fascination, the group’s first studio record in over 20 years.
