The Cab - Bad


There seem to be so many good albums in the pipelines just now, and the Cab's second album is among that number. The first song released from it, Bad, is slightly more pop than the music on 'Whisper War,' but isn't any the worse for it. In fact, it might even be better. The piano intro segues seamlessly in to a laid back verse, with the tempo jacked up after the chorus - this is a song that seems to constantly be changing. The melody and vocals work brilliantly together, balanced so that neither overpowers the other as it could so easily. An ode to the girls who won't sit down and play perfect, Bad is a slice of up front (I want something physical/Not something invisible) pop punk that will have you wanting to be with or just be the girl they're talking about.

The Cab - One Of THOSE Nights


Today's song is another older one, from one of the best debut albums in recent memory. With vocal cameos from Brendon Urie and Patrick Stump, the song couldn't fail to be outright brilliance, but Alex Deleon more than holds his own. With soaring vocals, memorable lyrics ('Word is I got away and now I must be caught') and guitar fueled pace, it's a song not to be missed.

The Cab - Disturbia (Cover)


This song has to get a mention, as the Punk Goes... album collection has always held a special place in my heart, with notable contributions such as The Maine's I Wanna Love You (Punk Goes Crunk) and Midtown's Your Love (Punk Goes 80s). This version of Rhianna's Disturbia is (for me) improved by a little bit of The Cab treatment, giving it a definitive poppy edge which contrasts well with the darker tones of the song. Addictive music candy.
