The Cab slapped so much. One Of Those Nights was a freaking *event* when it came out. Getting both Brendon and Patrick on there was an absolute treat for the FBR faithful (and then those two went and made another slapper with 20 Dollar Nosebleed later that year). So glad to have our cozy king back!
I remember angel with a shotgun being a big hit among the supernatural fandom on tumblr when in came out in 2011 because of the angel character castiel and I would not be surprised if the last few episodes of the show in 2020 played a part in it's recent resurgence
Its so weird though, in 2019-2021 Alex Deleon and Alex Marshall, plus one other former member, were supposed to be releasing a new album, which was confirmed to be happening and completed,... and then it didnt
In late April 2024, they said they finally finished that song on their Instagram and gave a preview. I've also been waiting for 4 years and I think it might legit be coming.
You killed it again Julian! I used to be obsessed with Whisper War, disappointed by Symphony Soldier. I had a Marshall Threads necklace in middle school lol
ngl the cab makes me v nostalgic for when i first started using the internet, like angel with a shotgun is such a nightcore staple, like that song was also so iconic for spn lol i still listen to them a lot but i never rlly questioned why they didn’t make anymore music since i don’t usually look at what bands do outside of their music
Great video! I'm obsessed with Symphony Soldier and cannot understand why it wasn't a huge album but it's definitely one of my faves to this day. I agree with the sexy aspect too.
I remember following The CAB so closely waiting for updates on new music back in the day,getting excited for each new release and then suffering from that radio silence… was such a bummer. I also recall the remix of “Take My Hand” dropping on Fall Out Boy’s mixtape Welcome To The New Administration… you remember that wild thing?
Angel With a Shotgun actually blew up in the early 2010s when it was being used in a lot of AMV (anime music videos) on RUclips! I remember when I was in middle school (I'm graduating college soon for reference) pretty much every series had an Angel With A Shotgun AMV. I'd say it was the most popular AMV song to use for some reason lol I think it was just the drama of the lyrics.
No joke! In high school we all had a graduation requirement that was this big presentation project called “The Mentorship Project”. It was a project where over the summer of your junior - senior year you would reach out and find a local person with a career job that interests you and shadow over them to give you a better understanding of what that person’s career and what a career job in general may look like. Anyways, at the time I was CRAZY into streetwear brands like Supreme and Bape, so I wanted to be a t-shirt designer. With the help of my teacher we found a place in my local area which is a print/sew-on house with in-house graphic designers. Since I was way more into the creative side of things, this was perfect - so I got in touch with the manager of the place and explained everything and that I would especially love to shadow one of the graphic designers. The graphic designer that ended up agreeing to work with me was Joey Thunder from The CAB! This was around 2017-2018 ish. He was such a cool dude and he was so eager to show me everything. He was the first person that showed me Junji Ito’s artwork, citing that as one of his favorite artists. I hadn’t gotten into emo at all yet. I was more in an angry than sad high schooler, so I gravitated more towards Nu-Metal at the time like Slipknot and Korn. I remember mentioning my favorite band at the time was Slipknot. He told me he loved Slipknot too and he had the chance to tour with them once and recalled them being really nice dudes. He was especially a fan of Clown and his art, one of the founding members. It was so cool to hear he had toured with them so I asked what band he was in and he said “The Cab”. Later that day I looked them up but I wasn’t into their music at all at the time. Just such a trip looking back on now
In high school I worked at Jamba Juice and we were allowed one Pandora station each - naturally, mine was The Cab Radio. Peak career moment for 17-year-old me was when the franchise owners made a visit and told me that they loved my playlist.
I love ‘Bounce’ so much man I can’t stop going back to it and really feeling it. I walk around in public pretending I was swinging my bass or guitar over my shoulder into the chorus and the build up in the pre chorus always makes me feel awesome I can’t explain it
At one point I truly believed everyone in the band was named "Alex" 😅 EDIT - This vid later showed me I must've remembered the time when it *was* only the 3 Alexes who were in the band 😂
It takes me a long time to get through your videos because both the video and the comments remind me of bands I had long forgotten and I always have to pause and re-check those bands out 😂 Thanks for the nostalgia punch in the face, - the resident 30-year-old former emo kid 😅
Another funny thing to note is that the cab themselves released a "Sped up" version of angel with a shotgun that is legit just a nightcore version in 2022
I found the cab through symphony soldier around 2011-2012 and fell in love with it, the first half is just so strong. Just how big a lot of their songs was so nice to hear at the time, seeing angel with a shotgun blow up as a nightcore song on league of legends videos was hilarious because i was already familiar with the album and was happy to see more people knowing of it. I remember when their new singles came out and was hoping for a new album so much but still none to come, still hoping we get new stuff soon I love them. Always wondered what happened, so thank you for covering this story, great stuff!
The Audition would make an interesting video, imo. Getting ripped off by FOB, gaining traction, then just disappearing. They were my favorite band when I was in high school. Still listen to them a lot, tbf.
I was a couple years late to the party with them. Whisper war was a masterpiece. Living louder is still one of my fav lyrical tracks. Simple, but so wholesome.
I had been hoping you would do a video on the cab someday and this did not disappoint! Truly one of the most underrated fbr bands in my opinion. I'm always hoping they'll make an unexpected come back someday
I was a pre-teen in this era growing up in Vegas, and The Cab was a local staple!! Alex was always super nice and helped create a core memory for me. I was around 12 and in my emo patd era. Randomly on a weekday night local show with my friend we went to a lot of local shows and I got to know a lot of the bands. Brendan and Spencer from panic were in a private room viewing the show at the venue I was at. I ran into Alex after a show and he went out of his way to set a private meet and greet with them It was so cool of him. They sounded amazing live too!
I love rnb, and I love emo music so the Cab’s Whisper War aged so well, in my eyes. Great video! Didn’t really listen to Symphony Soldier. Will get into it now, I suppose. You should def do a video about ‘emo r&b’, so many underrated bands/albums from that sub genre. Anyway, keep making great videos!
Man I used to love The Cab, even if all the lyrics on SS are high level d-bag, lol. Also I clapped when you mentioned The Audition! Loved them too. Great vid.
probably (one of) the reason(s) "one of those nights" is so high up in terms of streaming numbers is the fact that it's got both brendon urie and patrick stump singing on it, and their vocals are pretty foregrounded and easily distinguishable (compared to some of patrick's other background vocals on other songs he's produced). so people who are fans of one/both of them but don't care much about the cab might listen to that song moreso than their actual singles to hear their other faves also, would love to see a video on marianas trench from you, since you've apparently seen them live! they're one of my favourite bands but unfortunately never made it super big outside of canada. they remind me a bit of mcr in the way their albums all have overarching concepts and aesthetics that persist throughout the album cycle, just with a pop-ier sound. also some fun music videos (the ones for their "ever after" album all even tie together to tell the story of the album, like the tbp and danger days videos). no pressure if it's not your thing though
I didn't find out about The Cab until they toured with Simple Plan in October 2011. I got really into their music after that and I love the version of "Take My Hand" with Cassadee Pope. I also saw Alex perform with The Summer Set at Universal City Walk and met him after the show. Nice dude.
Thanks for this one! I hate that there's so much unreleased stuff from them that you can find bits of on youtube and out in the ether. Falling Up is one of my favorites of theirs, and Rockstar was even played on ESPN during an NFL game but was never released. I wonder how much there is out there from these silenced periods.
great video!! i was very into symphony solider in middle school but I admit I didn't really know anything about the cab besides them being the guys sitting next to TAI in all those hot topic videos. so cool to learn more about them!
Their year long of radio silence after Symphony Soldier was due to an emergency, permanent life changing voice injury Alex DeLeon had experienced. He goes by Bones now and you can hear about it in interviews.
Paul Garcia, was actually in the band with another guitarist named Andy Pugh…who got kicked out….they teamed up with Daniel Conway, Nick Baum & me Quin White to form the original line up of the band Amarionette….which at the time I was asked to be the lead singer while at Paramore’s first show in Vegas, with members of the cab, Ronnie Radke, the Terminal (a tooth n nail band) and random Escape the fate members. Hayley & Zac thought I looked like their friend from TN….I told them the news of joining said band…..they congratulated & we talked about Family Guy for 2hrs after the show. There’s that….if the Cab hadn’t existed, Amarionette would’ve never happened. Bit of “Swan core” band history too lol.
The bassist from the cab is my homies cousin, I say this because my “homie” is the bassist from the legendary band out of Las Vegas …Distinguisher. I love this. Lol Me and Brad are still close homies. So it’s just wild to see his family member being talked about. ❤️ RIP distinguisher.
Man, there was a time in my life that I loved them so much that my mom contacted their team to see if we could make them dinner and bring it backstage 😂 and we did! Then I totally stopped caring about them come their second album and had no idea what really happened with them. Guess I’ll watch and find out.
@burdy Yeah it was nice and pretty relaxed, just hung out for a while and everybody got food and chatted. We had all met them many times prior since I followed them from the beginning so it was probably slightly less weird because of that
The cab of my favorite band but I only really show the video once and I didn’t really have RUclips back then so you know I didn’t know about the manager was gold in my 20s
I was stunned when you brought up the “Angel with a shotgun” nightcore version because that’s how I first heard it and this was when for like a one year period during my teens where I was into nightcore. The whole video I was wondering if for whatever reason you’d bring that up or see anything on that.
I loved the Cab and got to meet them outside their show in like 2008? They were great and so sweet and patient with the fans, somewhere there is a pic of me and Alexander Deleon and Ian. I love hearing about bands that time kinda forgot, they should have been bigger.
those Angel With A Shotgun numbers are 100% due to the Supernatural fandom. Back in the day when I was like 14, that was the Only song for Castiel playlists. Honestly it kind of reached meme status within the community, especially for people who were on tumblr during both that time and in 2020 when some crazy shit went down lmao
I was 10 going to my first concert (fall out boy) on the wild things tour and distinctly remember watching cobra’s guilty pleasure video on the Jumbotrons in between sets
I'm from Vegas and have lived here since 91. I was in bands here in Vegas since 2002. My 2nd old band played shows with The Cab. 1st off, Ian is my boy. He's so talented and so nice ! Last time I saw him were downtown at beauty. The band basically got big here in Vegas with their Association with PATD! Thee Cabs reign at the ALMOST top didn't last long. Come on, 3 of the cab guys graduated high school after THEY SIGNED ! that's insane. But ya. They do have some good songs, some were nice guys . But ya . Got to see the cabs rise and fall with a front row seat here In Vegas!
I def agree that losing cash was a big personality blow for the band bc even meeting them after shows cash was the most engaged with people and would hold actual conversations with everyone there
The only piece of warped merch I never wore was the one I had covered in autographs from The Cab. Still have it tucked away for when I need serious nostalgia ❤
I know we didn't find out that Patrick Stump co-owned Decaydance/DCD2 until they were sued by the guy who made the llama costumes for Mania in 2018 but honestly we should've known when they signed the Cab. That is a Patrick Stump band if I've ever heard one
OMG, I Iove The Cab! 😍 Never knew that Adam Levine co-wrote the song "Animals," but now that you mentioned it, it seems kind of obvious: The chorus sounds quite similar to "This Love" and Maroon 5 also have a song called "Animals." 😄 Also, I freaked out when you mentioned VersaEmerge - I loved that band so much! ❤ Would be a great band to cover in one of your next videos. 😄
1:02:08 Looking at the youtube upload date for the nightcore of Angel with a Shotgun, it actually was made back in 2012 (and currently sits at 249 million views), which makes sense since I remember that song being huge staple in early 2010s amvs and nightcore culture. I got that in my RUclips recommendations a ton as a kid, to the point where I kinda got sick of hearing it (though, coming back to it after like a decade, I've warmed up to it again like many pop songs from that era). The other song I remember hearing from The Cab was actually Living Louder, also from an amv. Always loved that song, even to this day I find it invigorating and emotional with that tried and true theme of temporarity and living the present to the fullest before it slips through your fingers all too quickly. I went back and listened to both of The Cab's albums in full finally after this vid. I think I actually prefer more unique emo-tinged style of Whisper War overall, but Symphony Soldier definitely still has some bangers even outside the songs I was already familiar with, and Living Louder is still my favorite song they've ever made. I never even heard The Cab's name or knew that they'd made those songs from my childhood before this retrospective, but it was a very pleasant surprise to go through their discography. Thanks for the retrospective!
Excellent as always! Would like to suggest covering a band called The Higher, also from Las Vegas, NV, who kind of just evaporated haha they had some guilty pleasure BOPS back in the day and I believe they were signed to epitaph
The cab was doing some cryptic stuff over the summer. I think it was like 2021? they revamped their socials and posted something I don’t remember… but my hopes are low
Also, I'm pretty sure I remember the original members being Alex DeLeon, Cash Colligan, Paul (can't remember his last name to save my life), and Alex Johnson. Alex Marshall on piano came in quite a while later.
I love this video so much! The Cab was one of my favourite bands when I was 15, and were actually the ones who introduced me to the emo pop / neon pop punk side of altermative music (before that I was only listening to your standard pop-punk / pop rock bands), so I loved learning about their history in such great detail. I listened the absolute sh!t out of Whisper War and it is still one of my favourite albums to this day. This City Is Contagious is the best song on the album imo. Anyway, as a european, it was really difficult for me to get a physical copy of the CD and also ANY merch of them - which made my emo fangirl heart really sad 😂 the only thing I was ever able to get was (along side the CD) a rubber keychain that I lost one day at uni, I'm still pretty bugged about that lol!
One of those nights was on Rockband as DLC I think, and the Rockband version of the song was different than the album version. I don't know if was the demo version or what but the Rockband version was better lol.
Great video. What about a Rise and Fall of Drive-Thru Records. The rise was a bit before the timeline of most of your videos, but the impact of DTR on the scene cannot be understated! There’s a good story of Dashboard/Chris Carrabba verbally agreeing to sign with DTR and last minute signing with Vagrant. Could be a good deep dive…..keep up the good work!
I loved this band when I was younger. Songs like Take My Hand, Bounce, One of Those Nights, etc... were at the stop of my iTunes most played in 8th grade hahah! They were great. I had no idea they went on to do some touring with Avril or Maroon 5. I could see it though! Alex Deleon seemed to have had the drive and talent to do big things. I hope we get more music from The Cab or other musical projects from him!
Went to secret valentine tour in 09 for versaemerge. Their van broke down and they barely made it in time for an opening acoustic set. I will never forget it bc they ousted the drummer and bassist shortly after that and I never got to see them play with the perceptions line up 🥲 the cab was okay tho. I got a pic with Alex Marshall (keys) that night lol
Late April 2024, the band's Instagram showed a preview of a song from their completed album. Looks like they're coming back, like Cassadee Pope! It'd be awesome if they either did a collab, or a modern edition of their joint version of Take My Hand.
Man for a brief period in high school I really liked the cab but at this point I think it's just too late for them. Three strikes and you're out right?
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
The Cab slapped so much. One Of Those Nights was a freaking *event* when it came out. Getting both Brendon and Patrick on there was an absolute treat for the FBR faithful (and then those two went and made another slapper with 20 Dollar Nosebleed later that year).
So glad to have our cozy king back!

hard agree. everyone in the spn fandom knows that song
omg the supernatural fandom
"You're gonna be bigger than Panic! At The Disco some day."
Boy, that aged like milk!!!
panic could have been huge and they went and made the poopiest tunes known to man
@@linkthastink plus Brandon fucking up his vocals

I still listen to Whisper War regularly! I remember seeing The Cab at warped tour and it was amazing. Still one of my favorite bands
Same
Patrick Stump producing Whisper War is why I think I love that album so much. I really like Patrick's musicality.
Its so weird though, in 2019-2021 Alex Deleon and Alex Marshall, plus one other former member, were supposed to be releasing a new album, which was confirmed to be happening and completed,... and then it didnt

You killed it again Julian! I used to be obsessed with Whisper War, disappointed by Symphony Soldier. I had a Marshall Threads necklace in middle school lol
So totally agree! Symphony soldier did have a couple decent songs but whisper war was a complete master piece.
Yessss. I still listen to The Cab to this day. Was recommended them through a friend when I used to play World of Warcraft lol.
ngl the cab makes me v nostalgic for when i first started using the internet, like angel with a shotgun is such a nightcore staple, like that song was also so iconic for spn lol i still listen to them a lot but i never rlly questioned why they didn’t make anymore music since i don’t usually look at what bands do outside of their music

I loooooved The Cab omfg. Bounce, Bad, Animal, and La La still get plays from me. Alex’s voice has crack in it I think

I love symphony soldier! Interestingly enough when I worked in a college bookstore 6 years ago, La La was still in (corporate)radio rotation
my best friend died this year and the cab was her favorite band thanks man
They were my favorite band for so long. Broke my heart that they just disappeared
After watching this video I’ve officially changed my name to Cash Colligan.
so glad you did a video on them! been watching your channel for a few months and you're doing amazing work!
I love these ramble type videos on bands, you're killing this, its so good and feels natural to watch.
They always make an appearance in my most played songs. Love me some the cab
probably (one of) the reason(s) "one of those nights" is so high up in terms of streaming numbers is the fact that it's got both brendon urie and patrick stump singing on it, and their vocals are pretty foregrounded and easily distinguishable (compared to some of patrick's other background vocals on other songs he's produced). so people who are fans of one/both of them but don't care much about the cab might listen to that song moreso than their actual singles to hear their other faves

SECOND THIS, favourite fix was a certified banger. and their first EP after Tarcy left was pretty decent too
great video!! i was very into symphony solider in middle school but I admit I didn't really know anything about the cab besides them being the guys sitting next to TAI in all those hot topic videos. so cool to learn more about them!
Their year long of radio silence after Symphony Soldier was due to an emergency, permanent life changing voice injury Alex DeLeon had experienced. He goes by Bones now and you can hear about it in interviews.
WE NEED ONE OF THESE ABOUT ARTIST VS POET
TF HAPPENED AFTER MEDICINE
still waiting for the reunion tour i LOVED the cab i always liked that they sounded so different from the other stuff i usually listened to
Wow I sure hope there’s a new band that can kind of sound like this and be fashionably late
I feel like the band nightlife sound a bit similar

I loved the Cab and got to meet them outside their show in like 2008? They were great and so sweet and patient with the fans, somewhere there is a pic of me and Alexander Deleon and Ian. I love hearing about bands that time kinda forgot, they should have been bigger.
those Angel With A Shotgun numbers are 100% due to the Supernatural fandom. Back in the day when I was like 14, that was the Only song for Castiel playlists. Honestly it kind of reached meme status within the community, especially for people who were on tumblr during both that time and in 2020 when some crazy shit went down lmao
I was 10 going to my first concert (fall out boy) on the wild things tour and distinctly remember watching cobra’s guilty pleasure video on the Jumbotrons in between sets
Oh dude, I saw this video and was like “holy shit the cab, i remember the cab” pulled straight from the caverns of my brain
"They sound like they could be a good opening act for Train"
Absolutely brutal and I think it was unintentional
I'm from Vegas and have lived here since 91. I was in bands here in Vegas since 2002. My 2nd old band played shows with The Cab. 1st off, Ian is my boy. He's so talented and so nice ! Last time I saw him were downtown at beauty. The band basically got big here in Vegas with their Association with PATD! Thee Cabs reign at the ALMOST top didn't last long. Come on, 3 of the cab guys graduated high school after THEY SIGNED ! that's insane. But ya. They do have some good songs, some were nice guys . But ya . Got to see the cabs rise and fall with a front row seat here In Vegas!
I think I found about about the Cab from the Citizens FOB mixtape... it had Cassadee pope in it as well. Such a good little sampler.
Speaking of that R&B vibe, it would be cool to learn more about Head Automatica/Glassjaw.
The grip that Beating Heart Baby had on my entire existence. Singing along to that song was like a workout every time!
I def agree that losing cash was a big personality blow for the band bc even meeting them after shows cash was the most engaged with people and would hold actual conversations with everyone there
The only piece of warped merch I never wore was the one I had covered in autographs from The Cab. Still have it tucked away for when I need serious nostalgia ❤
Such a great video ❤ I was such a big fan of the cab back then
Would you ever do a video on a rocket to the moon /beach weather or the spill canvas?
I know we didn't find out that Patrick Stump co-owned Decaydance/DCD2 until they were sued by the guy who made the llama costumes for Mania in 2018 but honestly we should've known when they signed the Cab. That is a Patrick Stump band if I've ever heard one
OMG, I Iove The Cab! 😍 Never knew that Adam Levine co-wrote the song "Animals," but now that you mentioned it, it seems kind of obvious: The chorus sounds quite similar to "This Love" and Maroon 5 also have a song called "Animals." 😄
Also, I freaked out when you mentioned VersaEmerge - I loved that band so much! ❤ Would be a great band to cover in one of your next videos. 😄
1:02:08 Looking at the youtube upload date for the nightcore of Angel with a Shotgun, it actually was made back in 2012 (and currently sits at 249 million views), which makes sense since I remember that song being huge staple in early 2010s amvs and nightcore culture. I got that in my RUclips recommendations a ton as a kid, to the point where I kinda got sick of hearing it (though, coming back to it after like a decade, I've warmed up to it again like many pop songs from that era). The other song I remember hearing from The Cab was actually Living Louder, also from an amv. Always loved that song, even to this day I find it invigorating and emotional with that tried and true theme of temporarity and living the present to the fullest before it slips through your fingers all too quickly. I went back and listened to both of The Cab's albums in full finally after this vid. I think I actually prefer more unique emo-tinged style of Whisper War overall, but Symphony Soldier definitely still has some bangers even outside the songs I was already familiar with, and Living Louder is still my favorite song they've ever made. I never even heard The Cab's name or knew that they'd made those songs from my childhood before this retrospective, but it was a very pleasant surprise to go through their discography. Thanks for the retrospective!
Excellent as always! Would like to suggest covering a band called The Higher, also from Las Vegas, NV, who kind of just evaporated haha they had some guilty pleasure BOPS back in the day and I believe they were signed to epitaph
The cab was doing some cryptic stuff over the summer. I think it was like 2021? they revamped their socials and posted something I don’t remember… but my hopes are low
I was a sophomore in highschool during this time and I miss this era soooo much.
13:21 Oh... he met Panic during *that* arc of the band... 😂 Man, I wish there were still remnants of that album.
Also, I'm pretty sure I remember the original members being Alex DeLeon, Cash Colligan, Paul (can't remember his last name to save my life), and Alex Johnson. Alex Marshall on piano came in quite a while later.
I was just thinking about the Cab the other day and wondering what happened to them! Impeccable timing
Hell yeah! Please do a dive into The Audition!
I started listening to The Cab because of you, even prior to this video; they are SUPER underrated!
I went to every single one of their shows in Vegas growing up. These guys were my childhood.
i love the cab! so excited!
you should do a video like this on cartel
God I love those! Keep up the great work man!
The bit about lineup changes mattering to a band made me think of the Ship of Theseus. Also 3 Alex’s would be Alex cubed. 😅
I can't wait for your video on the new FOB album!
the Internet's coziest music nerd
I love this video so much! The Cab was one of my favourite bands when I was 15, and were actually the ones who introduced me to the emo pop / neon pop punk side of altermative music (before that I was only listening to your standard pop-punk / pop rock bands), so I loved learning about their history in such great detail. I listened the absolute sh!t out of Whisper War and it is still one of my favourite albums to this day. This City Is Contagious is the best song on the album imo.
Anyway, as a european, it was really difficult for me to get a physical copy of the CD and also ANY merch of them - which made my emo fangirl heart really sad 😂 the only thing I was ever able to get was (along side the CD) a rubber keychain that I lost one day at uni, I'm still pretty bugged about that lol!
That's a crazy coincidence, I was just listening to this band today xD So excited to watch the video, omg
One of those nights was on Rockband as DLC I think, and the Rockband version of the song was different than the album version. I don't know if was the demo version or what but the Rockband version was better lol.
One of my friends is pretty good buddies with ex-guitarrist Ian Crawford, he released more music by himself, guy's a really hard worker
Great video. What about a Rise and Fall of Drive-Thru Records. The rise was a bit before the timeline of most of your videos, but the impact of DTR on the scene cannot be understated! There’s a good story of Dashboard/Chris Carrabba verbally agreeing to sign with DTR and last minute signing with Vagrant. Could be a good deep dive…..keep up the good work!
You should do a video about Cartel! Chroma is such a great album.
I loved this band when I was younger. Songs like Take My Hand, Bounce, One of Those Nights, etc... were at the stop of my iTunes most played in 8th grade hahah! They were great. I had no idea they went on to do some touring with Avril or Maroon 5. I could see it though! Alex Deleon seemed to have had the drive and talent to do big things. I hope we get more music from The Cab or other musical projects from him!
Went to secret valentine tour in 09 for versaemerge. Their van broke down and they barely made it in time for an opening acoustic set. I will never forget it bc they ousted the drummer and bassist shortly after that and I never got to see them play with the perceptions line up 🥲 the cab was okay tho. I got a pic with Alex Marshall (keys) that night lol
I miss the cab so much!!
thanks to rock band 2 this how I got into bands like the cab fall out and panic lol
I've been waiting for this one!
For most FBR fans who wasn’t obsessed with whisper wars?
Late April 2024, the band's Instagram showed a preview of a song from their completed album. Looks like they're coming back, like Cassadee Pope! It'd be awesome if they either did a collab, or a modern edition of their joint version of Take My Hand.
I love Alex There first cd is great Brendon, Patrick on one song love
Cozy where is your review for the new Fall Out Boy album? I know you’re very excited 😁
I'm wondering the same thing. He went from wanting to cover the entire album rollout to radio silence. The anticipation is killing me.
I loved everything they made 😭 I'm so sad they fell off.
Man for a brief period in high school I really liked the cab but at this point I think it's just too late for them. Three strikes and you're out right?
Really liked the higher at the time but kinda ignored these r&b emo bands but upon listening now, god damn do they fucking slap
are the cobra starship jumbo-tron skits on youtube? i need to see those!
