Northern Virginia metal band Cab Ride Home brings together a group of pure music fans who love to party and have a good time. We are named after a crazy night founding members Dan and 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!
We formed in May 2006 with lead guitarist Enock. Drummer James Masten joined in December 2006 and we began performing live in April 2007. Bane took over rhythm guitar duties from Dan in January 2009 and made his live debut as a full-time member Feb. 6, 2009 at Jaxx. Cab Ride Home became Dan on vocals, Deac on bass, Masten on drums and Enock and Bane on guitars. CRH and Deac officially parted ways in October 2009 following a performance in front of a near-capacity crowd as direct support to the Misfits at Jaxx. We announced Beefy as our full-time live bassist in July 2010.
Our first official demo for Drunk on Arrival was recorded in August 2007 and we recorded our debut full-length album "The Intoxicated Massacre" in September 2008 at Final Symphony Studios in Charlottesville, VA. It was engineered, mixed and mastered by Micah Consylman (Bella Morte). Micah and Dave Evans aka Noodles (Division) make guest appearances on "One Last Round" and "Bloodshot Memories", respectively. The album officially dropped March 20, 2009 in front of a record-setting audience for us at Jaxx! The single "Brawl at the Bar", recorded and mixed in early October 2009, is set to appear on the Warrenton Rocks benefit album, due out in November 2009.
We made our on-air debut in January 2009 with Into Oblivion being featured on The Buzz, 88.3 FM WSBU (St. Bonaventure, NY), two months before we released The Intoxicated Massacre. The X, 102.1 WRXL (Richmond, VA) then picked up Drunk on Arrival the following September. Tracks from The Intoxicated Massacre have appeared regularly on 88.1 FM WMUC (College Park, MD) since October '09 and on World Rock Radio's Sunday Sinners Metal Show (Internet radio) since January 2010.
During 2010, we shared the stage with some of the underground's biggest acts to date, including Cannibal Corpse, Soilwork, Death Angel and Amon Amarth among many others. We re-entered the studio in early August to record a three-song EP with one of the best known producers in the Washington-metro area, Kevin Gutierrez from Assembly Line Studios. Due out this fall, "To The Top" features the tracks .254 (Overtox), Slaughter Brew and Assassins of Innocence. It's a sonic departure from The Intoxicated Massacre in that the songs are much more technical, faster, heavier and melodic while still keeping our debut album's catchiness and ready-for-the-stage party vibes. Guest bass tracks were performed by Terra Dactyl (WFC) and the EP is due for an early-fall release.
Right around that time, CRH will be back on the road to promote the EP, performing at the first-annual Richmond Metalfest and returning to Ohio with our drunken brethern in Black Dragon for our first open-air festival appearance. We've also landed an opening spot for Nevermore and Warbringer this October and will be aggressively writing and rocking in the months afterward.

"When I had the chance to pick up The Intoxicated Massacre and listen to it with the aim of doing a review, I frankly couldn't! I was so hooked on the music that I forgot to concentrate and point out the flaws and the good things. It's just plain amazing. For a local band, this would be called a perfect album. With seven tracks, ranging from groove to heaviest riffs on earth, Cab Ride Home has created an amazing mixture of old and new styles that will keep your neck hurting until the day after the show!" - Nik Casey, Virginia Metal Alliance
"Aptly titled The Intoxicated Massacre, it is a seven song litre filled to the brim with hoppy metal. Think mid-80’s Hetfield in his liver ruining prime, at the height of his blackout drunkenness, trying to play a few riffs for some lucky ladies backstage…that’s the sort of music Cab Ride Home embodies. It’s a healthy mix between Dethlok, Swashbuckle, and The Haunted. With songs that every honest beer swiller can relate to, like “Drunk on Arrival”, Cab Ride Home is a fun but strangely serious metal band…and let’s be honest, how often can you say that?
One of the more enjoyable things about the upstart Virginia based act is that they’re overtly less gimmicky than these dime a dozen donkey performers who dress up like circus acts. Having opened up for many a metal act at the world famous Jaxx in Virginia, Cab Ride Home have certainly outlined their intentions and can hardly be classified as a “local” act. They’re musically sound, put on a tight, energetic live performance, and have smartly invested in their future. You can never take yourself too seriously, but seeing five guys band together in the name of beer and metal with the hope to stake their claim in the industry – I’ll toast to that." - SMNnews.com
"The five guys from Cab Ride, Dan (vocals), Enock (lead fret burner), Bane (rhythm fret burner), Beefy (bass fret burner), and Masten are folks who each have day jobs like the rest of us mere mortals. They have no record deal or headlining tours. There is no manager booking them gigs or setting up PR events.They put in their forty hours a week and practice when possible. However, for thirty minutes on a single night every couple of months these five guys rise up become metal gods up on the stage and give it everything they have in order to ensure that the traditional of metal is passed on to a new generation of metalheads that have come to see their show." - RockSins.com
