THE CAB

From the hallways of Las Vegas’ Liberty High School to the cover of Alternative Press and the airwaves of Top 40 radio stations across the country, THE CAB has been on a wild ride that has no end in sight. With the recent independent release of their second album, Symphony Soldier, receiving rave reviews and launching the band on another nationwide trek to satisfy their ever-growing fanbase, THE CAB is just beginning to rev up their engines.

Produced by Matt Squire (Panic At The Disco, Boys Like Girls), Whisper War debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top New Artist Chart in April of 2008 and has since reached nearly 100,000 in sales. Response from fans and press alike was immediate, and Alternative Press featured THE CAB on their cover, naming them one of the magazine’s “100 Bands You Need to Know” in both 2008 and 2010.  The band’s touring schedule kicked off in earnest, and included high-profile treks with Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, Dashboard Confessional, Plain White T’s, Cobra Starship and many more, as well as a slot on the Warped Tour Main Stage in 2010.

The road-tested band has since taken their sound to the next level, writing a new batch of tunes that would become Symphony Soldier (Z-entertainment Records). The band enlisted in-demand producer John Feldmann (Panic! At the Disco, The Used, Good Charlotte) to helm the album, which also features contributions from Bruno Mars, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Martin Johnson of Boys Like Girls, and more. Upon its release in August 2011, Symphony Soldier debuted on iTunes’ Top 10 Charts as a featured “New and Noteworthy” release in August, hitting #6 overall and becoming the #2 rock record in the U.S., while reaching #3 in Canada and #1 on the UK rock charts. 

Top press outlets responded in kind, with Rollingstone.com remarking that “THE CAB’s high energy pop is radio ready.” Alternative Press gave Symphony Soldier a four-star review, while The Salt Lake Tribune called THE CAB “one of the most unique rock bands out there.” The band’s hometown paper, The Las Vegas Review-Journal, raved that the album embodies “U2-esque guitars set against funky synth zaps,” and AbsolutePunk.net simply stated that with Symphony Soldier, “THE CAB reaches super stardom.”  Musiqtone proclaimed that "Symphony Soldier is a must have in your music collection and is easily one of the best, if not THE BEST pop album 2011 has spawned thus far.”
