About Me

Northern Virginia metal band Cab Ride Home brings together a group of pure music fans who love to party and have a good time. The group is named after a crazy night founding members Dan & Deac (along with eventual member Masten) had at Jaxx Nightclub in October 05, ending with an infamous cab ride home. Cab Ride Home is here to make a statement on what metal and hard rock is supposed to be about...having a good time!
The band officially formed in May 2006, joined by lead guitarist Enock. Drummer James Masten joined in December 2006. Cab Ride Home has been playing live since April 2007.
The band's first "official" demo for Drunk on Arrival was recorded in August 2007. Frequently appearing live throughout the Nortern Virginia area, the band is well known for a "high-energy" live set and a crazy after-party! Be sure to keep an eye on tour dates to see when Cab Ride Home will be in your town!
National/International touring acts we have played with:
Drowning Pool, Diecast, Lennon, Katatonia, Scar Symmetry, Insomnium, Swallow the Sun, Mushroomhead, After Forever, Psyclon Nine, The Agonist, God Forbid, Ill Nino, Droid, Ekotren, Arsis, SkeletonWitch, Veil of Maya, Bella Morte, Shadows Fall, Kataklysm, The Showdown
