SMARTPUNK RECORDS RE-RELEASES THE CAB’S ALBUM WHISPER WAR ON VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 15 YEARS The Cab shaped the definition of pop rock when the first released their monumental album Whisper War in 2008 through Fueled By Ramen. The record went on to define the band’s expansive discography and remains an indispensable memory from the 2000s’ Myspace music movement. With songs like “Bounce” and “Take My Hand,” this album re-release is a must-have for fans seeking to relive the era with a refreshed, remastered sound. The album is re-mastered for vinyl with updated packaging including three unique variants: Lemonade + Black Galaxy (Smartpunk exclusive), Black Inside Light Blue (indie store exclusive), and White. It is available on vinyl for the first time in over 15 years via Smartpunk Records here. “It would be hard to talk about the legacy that is Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance without mentioning The Cab’s 2008 debut Whisper War. I remember hearing the album when it first came out and thought how incredible the production was (and still is), and the enormous hooks in the choruses. It’s hard to say whether or not The Cab brought the Deep-V, MySpace era of dance/pop punk to the masses, but they were definitely on the front lines,” says Matt Burns, Label Manager of Smartpunk Records 
ABOUT THE CAB:
Inspired by groups such as Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco, Las Vegas quintet The Cab was founded by then-students Alex DeLeon and Cash Colligan in 2004 after the two met during high school. The duo began recording demos and broadcasting them via Myspace, but it quickly became evident that a complete band would be needed for them to realize their full potential. DeLeon and Colligan recruited Alex Johnson, Alex Marshall, and Ian Crawford, began playing shows locally, and built up a fan base before sending a demo to Spencer Smith of Panic! At The Disco. Smith was so impressed with the band that he helped them sign to the Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen label in 2007. The Cab’s debut album, Whisper War, was produced by Matt Squire (Boys Like Girls, The Maine, Demi Lovato) and released in 2008, followed by several national tours. |
