The Story

Formed1985OriginUnited StatesGenrenew wave, rock musicLabelRCA RecordsMembersMickey Thomas

Starship is an American rock band from the U.S. that emerged in 1985, evolving from Jefferson Starship with a new wave twist. Fronted by Mickey Thomas, the group is known for its polished sound that blends rock and pop sensibilities. Their catalog boasts hits like "We Built This City," "Sara," and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," each showcasing catchy hooks and anthemic choruses. With their 1985 album, "Knee Deep in the Hoopla," and its follow-up, "No Protection," they delivered a fresh take on the rock genre. Whether you're cruising down the highway or reliving the glory days, Starship's tunes still capture that spirit of the '80s.
