Alexander Michael DeLeon (born April 8, 1989) is an American songwriter and lead singer for the American rock band The Cab. The Cab was signed to Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance in 2007 and released their debut album, Whisper War, in April 2008. In June 2011, The Cab left Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance, and released their second album, Symphony Soldier, independently on August 23, 2011. In 2012 the band signed a major-label record deal with Universal Republic Records. DeLeon released the band's third album, the Lock Me Up EP in April 2014.
DeLeon and Cash Colligan first began playing music together at Liberty High School (Henderson, Nevada) and recorded demos as a duo which they put up on their MySpace page. At this time, future guitarist Ian Crawford went to school in Auburn, WA and started out playing his guitar in talent shows and posting them on YouTube. DeLeon asked drummer Alex Johnson, who was playing in a local hardcore band, to join The Cab. In late 2005, it became a full band with guitarist Paul Garcia, guitar/pianist Alex Marshall, and drummer Alex Johnson, playing its first show at The Alley in Las Vegas. The band signed to local label Olympus Records in January 2006 but released no material. Spencer Smith of Panic! at the Disco helped them sign to Decaydance Records in May 2007. Shortly after this, the band's members graduated from high school. During this time they decided to replace Garcia with Ian Crawford, who moved from Washington to join the band.
The band released their first studio album Whisper War, on April 29, 2008, featuring Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco and Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy on "One of Those Nights," co-written by Stump and the first single from the CD. The video for "One of Those Nights" features members of both Panic! at the Disco and Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy.
