Years Quiet, Voice Intact
The Cab came out of Las Vegas with sleek pop-rock on
Whisper War and found a bigger pop stride on
Symphony Soldier. After years mostly off the grid and key lineup shifts, their comeback frames a band reclaiming its hooks with leaner focus. Expect a set that blends glossy anthems like
Angel With A Shotgun and
Endlessly with early favorites
I'll Run and
One of Those Nights. The room skews late-20s and 30s who grew with them, mixed with younger fans who found the choruses online, many in scene-era tees and clean sneakers. Trivia heads note that
One of Those Nights featured
Brendon Urie and
Patrick Stump, and that
Symphony Soldier was released independently after a label exit. Early guitarist
Ian Crawford later toured with
Panic at the Disco, a link that shaped their tight, glossy stage craft. These setlist and staging ideas are projections from prior cycles and current hints rather than locked details.
Songs You Will Likely Hear
Culture In The Chorus: The Cab Crowd
Throwback Fits, New Energy
You will spot worn
Whisper War shirts beside fresh prints, slim jackets, Vans, and a few skinny ties rescued from the 2008 closet. Fans swap setlist guesses at the rail and compare photo booth strips near merch before the opener hits. Chants land with muscle memory: tight claps on the pre-chorus of
Bounce, a shared hum on the opening of
Endlessly, and a shout on the word "shotgun." Phones mostly stay at chest level until the key lift, when people raise them for a clean chorus capture. Simple merch with the classic script logo goes first, plus a couple designs nodding to
Symphony Soldier artwork and tour-era fonts. Between songs the mood is conversational and kind, with people trading era stories and pointing out harmony lines to newer fans. It feels like a reunion that makes room for first-timers, with veterans gently cueing the sing-backs so everyone catches on.
Shared Moments You Can Hear
Muscles Under The Gloss: The Cab Live
Hooks First, Then Shine
Live,
The Cab centers
Alex DeLeon's smooth tenor while guitars and keys carve space instead of crowding him. Verses sit tight, choruses open wide, and the drums punch with short hits that leave room for the voice to ring. The band favors melodic fills over long solos, so tempo changes feel intentional and keep the hooks in front. Keys and subtle tracks handle string pads on
Angel With A Shotgun, while palm-muted guitars drive the verses so the last refrain pops. Mid-set, they often strip a song to piano and voice before rebuilding on the final chorus, a trick that flatters
I'll Run and
Endlessly. Another quiet move is nudging a few tunes a notch slower than the record so claps land together, then kicking the last chorus up half a gear. Lights stay color-forward and clean, accenting downbeats rather than pulling focus from the melody.
Little Tweaks That Land Big

Adjacent Bands, Shared Sweet Spot
Fans of
All Time Low often connect with
The Cab because both lean on sharp hooks, clean guitars, and easy call-and-response.
Boys Like Girls bring similar glossy pop polish and open-armed choruses built for midsize rooms. If your playlist rides earnest lyrics over steady backbeats,
The Maine lives nearby and draws a detail-minded, song-first crowd.
The Summer Set matches the bright keys and upbeat pacing that keep a night moving. Together they share a lane where melody wins and the pit stays friendly, making cross-fandom natural. If those names sit in your rotation,
The Cab should feel like home.
