Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen recording group THE CAB made an incredible sales debut this week, with their much-anticipated first album, ” WHISPER WAR,” entering in the #1 spot on SoundScan’s “Top New Artists” chart. “WHISPER WAR” was recorded late last year with Matt Squire (Cute Is What We Aim For, All Time Low) producing and additional production by Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy). The album expertly melds The Cab’s avowed love for the soulful pop stylings of Justin Timberlake and Michael Jackson, with a punk and rock n’ roll sensibility informed by such bands as Blink-182 and Jimmy Eat World .
Signed to Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen on the recommendation of labelmates Panic At The Disco, the Las Vegas-based quintet quickly made a name for itself with its piano-infused modern pop-rock sound. The Cab exploded throughout the online community, with its initial demo version of “I’ll Run” logging more than 600,000 plays on the band’s MySpace page (www.myspace.com/thecab) which currently has over 1.9 million profile views . The Cab has now drawn national attention for its fresh sound and vision, with Alternative Press declaring it to be one of the “100 Bands You Need To Know” in its April issue. In addition, the band was featured in Blender’s annual “Hot Report.” The band continues to keep a busy tour schedule having already toured with Cobra Starship, We The Kings and made festival appearances at Austin, Texas’s annual South By Southwest extravaganza in mid-March, and an appearance at this past weekend’s Bamboozle, at New Jersey’s Meadowlands.
