The Cab is an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada. The band consists of lead vocalist Alexander DeLeon, keyboardist Alex T. Marshall and bassist Joey Thunder. Their debut studio album, Whisper War, was released on April 29, 2008. They have been called "The Band You Need to Know 2008" by Alternative Press magazine. They were also featured in the "100 Bands You Need to Know in 2010" by the magazine and were one of the three bands featured on the cover page, along with Never Shout Never and Hey Monday.
Their second studio album, Symphony Soldier, was released on August 23, 2011, with its first single, "Bad," released to iTunes on July 11, 2011. The Cab funded the entire album by themselves and left their Fueled by Ramen/Decaydance label, self-releasing Symphony Soldier. The band's latest work, an EP titled Lock Me Up, was released on April 29, 2014.
Band members Alexander DeLeon and Cash Colligan first began playing music together at Liberty High School and recorded demos which they put up on their MySpace page. The two were coming up with band names and came up with The Strip, The Casino and The Cab. They decided to choose the latter as it felt "the least dumb." They recruited guitarist Paul Garcia and drummer Alex Johnson. They played their first show at the Rock n' Java in December 2005. After playing their first show, the group would spend 10 to 20 hours practicing each week, writing songs and planning shows. The band also signed to local label Olympus Records in January 2006, but released no material. They released two EPs in 2006, Drunk Love and Glitz and Glamour. When they were writing the latter, DeLeon had only been singing for a few weeks after Colligan suggested he sing for the band. After giving a demo to Jon Walker and Spencer Smith of Panic! at the Disco who was impressed with the band, he helped them sign to Decaydance Records and Fueled by Ramen in May 2007. They had sent them the demos at a Cobra Starship/Boys Like Girls/Cartel show. The group posted a demo of "I'll Run" to their MySpace and announced that a full-length studio album would be released later in the year. Shortly after this, the band's members graduated from high school. During this time they decided added Alex T. Marshall to the group and replaced Garcia with Ian Crawford, who moved from Washington to join the band.
Blender named them No. 75 on their Top 100 Hot Report in September 2007. They were also listed as the "100 Bands You Need to Know in 2008" by Alternative Press. The group embarked on their Driving is Better in the Southwest Weather tour in December 2007, before joining Cobra Starship on their Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking tour the following year. In February 2008, their touring van turned over in Wisconsin, but none of the members were seriously injured, and they only missed one tour date. In March 2008, the band played SXSW. They also joined Metro Station and Forever the Sickest Kids on their US tour in May 2008.
The group began recording their debut studio album in October 2007, at Red Bull Studios in Santa Monica. The album titled, Whisper War was released on April 29, 2008, and was produced by Matt Squire. The album's lead single "I'll Run" was the first song they wrote as a band, which DeLeon describes as a "good representation" of the group and their songs." By February 15, 2008, the song received over 300,000 hits on the band's MySpace page. "One of Those Nights" was released as the album's second single on March 25, 2008. The song features Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco and Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, which was also co-written by Stump.

The Cab appeared on Punk Goes Pop 2, covering Rihanna's "Disturbia". In February and March 2009 the band toured with The Maine, We the Kings, There for Tomorrow and Versaemerge on the Secret Valentine Tour. On May 1, the band performed an entire set dedicated to Queen. The group also performed at the Bamboozle Road Show tour.
