Normally I don't become obsessed with a band until I see them live. So far there have been only two exceptions to that rule, not including the days when I was a little teeny-bopper who wasn't allowed to go to concerts. The two exceptions to my live-show-obsession rule were Fall Out Boy and the Sex Pistols. Until recently, that is, when I popped Whisper War into my computer and instantly fell in love with The Cab.
The first thing I thought when "Bounce" began to play out of my speakers was that I had found some sort of wonderful N*sync reincarnate. But as I listened, I began to realize that The Cab has all the goodness of N*sync, but with enough musical talent that they aren't a pop "boy band."

Alex DeLeon's lyrics aren't quite as cheeky and me-against-the-world as I like songs to be, but it's only their first album. And I have to consider that not everyone is as witty as Pete Wentz or Gabe Saporta and not everyone writes music because they hate the world.
Essentially The Cab is a wondrous hybrid of N*sync and The Academy Is..., Fast Times at Barrington High-style, of course.

About Me
- Sarah Maloy
- I'm a Journalism major at Ohio University. My background is in news, but I will probably be specializing in either magazine or public relations. Whatever I do with my life, I want it to revolve around the music industry. I am obsessed with music and any day that is a concert is the happiest day of my life. I also like to read, drive, and shop. I collect sunglasses, my favorite flower is a tulip, my favorite color is pink. I'm sort of in love with the internet and social media. I think the internet allows everyone to let loose and be exactly who they want to be. I love Fight Club, Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, Twitter, and Harry Potter... So be prepared.

I have never listened to The Cab...but now I feel as though I should. =]
I first listened to The Cab this past fall and had the same basic thoughts as you, but mine I squealed, saying, "OMG, BOY BANDS ARE BACK!!" Ha-ha!
They are, indeed, very catchy.
