There is drama all across the interwebs today, and I combat this by picspamming.
Do you know who I love a lot right now?
If you guessed Pete Wentz, then you were absolutely correct.
But also The Cab.
Hi, Cabbabies! Left to right we have: Alex Marshall (keys), Alex Deleon (Singer), Cash Colligan (bass), Ian Crawford (mini RayToro/guitar) and Alex Johnson (drums).
The most important thing to remember about this band is that they are babies.
GET OUT OF THIS SPAM, REALLY BABY ALEX DELEON
History, you say? Of the band?
Let’s start with Cash and Singer who like, in highschool? Yeah, they hated each other.
HATE LIKE BURNING. Allegedly they were vying for the attention of the same girl who ends up like ‘playing’ both of them and hence they come together out of mutual teenage heartbreak and an interest in Maroon 5. In other words, they kissed and made up.
True to Fuelled By Ramen form, Alex only realised he could sing after being goaded into it by his bass player. Also true to Fuelled By Ramen form, he makes up for this now by singing Disney songs.

And Britney Spears. Whilst his piano player laughs. (We'll get to you, Alex Marshall)

They realise pretty quickly it’s hard to have a band with only two members so they totally hit up Alex Johnson because he plays drums, dude.
Johnson is a ninja and there are pretty much no photos of him anywhere ever; however, there is this really awesome interview which provides very good insight into the history of the band.

Around this time, they also snagged a piano player.
Hi, Alex Marshall! Also guitarist Paul Garcia who I have pretty much no photos of. But hey, here's a group shot of them at this point of time.
And then they meet these guys:
And Singer was all:
And gave them their demo.
Panic loved it and The Cab was welcomed into the decaydance family with orgies of love and acceptance.
Particularly from this guy:
But hey, you can't have jailbait without this guy:
Or a new band without this one:
Or a band full of Alex's without the other Alex on the label.

So, they're signed! What do they do next? Record an EP of course!

It's just after this that Paul Garcia, AKA the guitarist of whom I have no pictures splits from the band due to 'musical differences' but, oh no! Who will replace him? Panic has the answer. It's Ray Toro!

Oh wait! No it's not! It's Ian Crawford. Resident Hotass.
And that’s the new line-up of the Cash and Alex Band. (CAB!) as someone on lj put it, now with extra Ian.
Their album, 'Whisper War', is really easy to find on the interwebs, so I'm not gonna link it but, hey, you should buy it. It's pretty awesome.
History’s all good and well, but hey! What about the boys?
Cash Colligan! Cash Money! He has his name tattooed on his hand, just in case, y’know, he forgets it.
He takes emo photos for buzznet and myspace!
He’s a giant dorkface so, y’know, he fits in with the label.

You can pretty much find all his dorkfaced antics at the Cab’s buzznet here.

Alex Marshall’s a life guard.
He’s not, but I’d read the fuck out of that au.
He is a hotass though.
And multi-talented!
And he likes baby tigers! Try to pick which one’s cuter, it’s pretty much impossible.
You know who Marshall likes?
Ian Crawford. Ian likes baby tigers too.
He also likes Cash.
Heehee.
And hey, Johnson’s pretty awesome too. Would be even more awesome IF HE’D BE IN MORE PHOTOS. Jeez, Johnson.
Who else is awesome? Alex Deleon, ‘Singer boy’ as Cash calls him is pretty much well versed in the Decaydance customs.
He was a myspace whore. Hi, Jailbait!
He likes his pretty princess tiaras!
And tiger cubs!
He is tiny.
And likes to pull funny faces.
And I think maybe he's my favourite.
And generally likes to be in love with his bandmates.
Hi, Cash!
Tyga cameo!
It’s not just Cash though. He loves his Alexs too.

And his Ian.
To be honest, they all love each other like, heaps. It’s hard to differentiate.
Cash and Marshall!
I totally love this photo for how absolutely tiny Singer and Cash look in comparison to the rest of their band.
This one too.
In conclusion: write more fic.
