The Cab

The Cab is an American pop-rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, known for their emotionally rich songwriting, genre-blending sound, and sharp musicality. Since their formation in 2005, the band has carved out a lasting place in the alternative music scene—fusing sleek pop production with rock instrumentation, R&B influences, and lyrical depth.

Originally discovered by Panic! at the Disco and Fall Out Boy, The Cab gained early momentum with their breakout debut album, Whisper War (2008), released through Fueled by Ramen. Achieving a #1 position on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart, Whisper War featured fan-favorite singles “Bounce,” “I’ll Run,” and “One of THOSE Nights.”

In 2011, the band made a bold creative leap with Symphony Soldier, an independently released, self-funded album that elevated their sound to cinematic levels. With songs like “Angel With a Shotgun” and “Endlessly,” the record showcased The Cab’s ambition and artistic independence, solidifying their place among the most emotionally resonant bands of their era.

“Angel With a Shotgun” quickly became a standout fan favorite, surpassing 260M+ streams and establishing itself as the band’s most-streamed song. Despite being released in 2011—well before the rise of TikTok—the track has found massive success on short-form platforms, reaching over 400M+ views across more than 300K TikTok creations to date. Its cultural impact expanded into fan subcultures, where it emerged as the de facto theme song for Nightcore, generating an additional 260M+ views across Nightcore user-generated content.

More than a decade after its release, “Angel With a Shotgun” remains a timeless hit. The song has recently resurged on TikTok, gaining 16K+ new creations in the last month alone and delivering over 43M+ views. Its continued relevance reinforces The Cab’s enduring reputation within the pop-punk community and beyond.

After an extended hiatus, The Cab officially returned in 2025, announcing their first new music in over a decade along with live touring dates. Exploring themes of growth, reinvention, and emotional clarity through the lens of lived experience and creative maturity, their new music delivers the same relatable themes and cinematic energy that originally resonated with fans more than ten years ago.

The band will celebrate their highly anticipated return with a new EP titled Road To Reign: A Prelude, set for release on September 26, 2025. The current lineup features the return of Alex DeLeon (vocals), Alex Marshall (guitar, keys), Dave Briggs (drums), and Joey Thunder (bass).

The Cab is embarking on a North American tour with All Time Low in October 2025, followed by headline shows in December in Singapore and the Philippines. Their live return also includes a high-profile performance at the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas.
