'Lock Me Up' - The Cab Review

BY: Meredith Chaffin



After a difficult three year wait, The Cab have finally released their five song EP, Lock Me Up. With the success of their previous album, Symphony Soldier, fans were left wondering if the EP would be worth the wait. However, the EP lives up to the hype.

The EP kicks off with “Lock Me Up,” which is where the EP got its name. This song starts off with a marching beat that carries on throughout the song. With lead singer, Alex DeLeon, singing the verses and group vocals on the chorus, this song was a great way to start the album and get listeners excited for the rest of the EP.

“Moon” is the next song on the EP. This song features classic sensual lyrics that The Cab is known for, such as “I’ll take your body to the moon, then I’ll let you turn it around” and “Baby we don’t need these lights, ‘cause you’ll be seeing stars tonight.” This song has a danceable beat that will be a great song to see performed live.

The third song on Lock Me Up is “Numbers.” This song is one of the slower songs on the EP. It has a bit of an R&B feel to it, which is a sound I wasn’t used to hearing from this band, but I was pleasantly surprised.

“Stand Up” gets right back to the fun and upbeat songs featured on the EP. This song is not only very catchy, but also has a great message. It basically tells listeners to do your own thing and get right back up, when someone knocks you down. Finally, “These Are The Lies” wraps up Lock Me Up. Although this is a slower song, it is my personal favorite. I enjoy how different and raw it is. I could really hear the emotion in Alex DeLeon’s voice throughout the song.

Overall, I greatly enjoyed The Cab’s new EP, Lock Me Up. With a mix of both upbeat and slow songs, there is a song for any mood listeners may be in. I’m excited to see what The Cab has in store for the future!

Alex Marshall has announced that he has left The Cab to pursue new goals. Read his official statement below.

"Some days I wake up and have to remind myself that this life of mine is a dream. I feel so blessed to have been given all of the opportunities that have come my way in the past 7 years. It has all happened so fast and even as a wide-eyed 17-year-old kid I could not even begin to imagine the experience I would gain, the relationships I would make or the growth I would achieve in such a short amount of time. I was given a chance to do what I love, see the world and meet the most amazing people and I am grateful for that every day. Yet, I believe that what I've accomplished this far is only the first few chapters of my story. There are new doors opening for me and I wouldn't be true to myself if I didn't attempt to pursue them.

Recently, I made the difficult decision to part ways with The Cab and pursue these other career endeavors. This decision was the hardest decision I've ever made and I don't take it lightly. Some of you have been incredibly encouraging and I understand that this may be somewhat of a disappointment to others. Either way, I promise that I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. This is simply the next step in my journey.

Being a part of The Cab has been such an amazing ride, but I have to look at it simply as a transition into this next chapter. I’ve always lived my life in search of new creative expressions and I feel like I’ve progressed as far as I can creatively with The Cab. This change is tough but necessary in order for me to remain dedicated to my vision for the future. This is not an ending by any means. This is only the beginning.

I wish The Cab continued success and I would like to thank all of the fans for the opportunity and experience, love and encouragement you have given me over the years. I hope that I can continue to produce work that you can be proud of because ultimately I do this for you. I look forward to sharing this forthcoming phase of my life with all of you.

-Alex Marshall"
