Symphony Soldier is the second studio album by American rock band the Cab. It was self-released by the band on August 23, 2011. The Cab first rose to prominence at the peak of the mid-2000s emo pop trend with their debut album Whisper War (2008), which was promoted via national tours with Hey Monday and the Hush Sound. The following year, the band lost two members, including guitarist Ian Crawford and bassist Cash Colligan. In addition, the band soon parted ways with their original label, Fueled by Ramen, as well as parting ways with their drummer Alex Johnson.
The album is a pop rock, pop-punk, alternative rock, and power pop record. It was recorded at Foxy Studios, and was produced by John Feldmann. It boasts a wide array of songwriting collaborators, including Bruno Mars, Maroon 5's Adam Levine and Jesse Carmichael, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, and production team the Messengers. Its commercial performance was middling, with the album charting on the Billboard 200 at number 62. It was the Cab's last proper album; though the band signed to Universal Republic the next year and issued an EP, Lock Me Up, in 2014, it was officially dissolved.
