The Cab - Whisper War

Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen - April 29, 2008
by Dan Hargesheimer

There won't be many people whispering about this disc after hearing even the first few minutes of incredible music these young guys from Las Vegas have been able to put together. The disc starts off right away with one hell of a catchy song that features a great guitar riff, and music that resembles the sound of label-mates Fall Out Boy and Panic At The Disco (all on Fueled By Ramen)... helps too that both Brendon Urie of PATD and Patrick Stump of FOB have vocals in the first song. Stump helped produce The Cab's first release and assisted in getting it released on the Decaydance imprint. With the majority of their songs just being straight-up rock, there are a few songs that almost cross over into punk rock scene, others that are pop punk or maybe even just pop, but according to lead singer Alex DeLeon, that's exactly the way they want their sound to well... sound. On FueledByRamen.com DeLeon says "I think people like to categorize bands by attaching them to a specific scene, but I don't want to be thought of as a certain kind of band. I want to cross over to other communities and have as many people hear us as possible," he continues. "I never want to be contained to one group."
