CABIN is a melodic rock band from Louisville, KY led by founding member Noah Hewett-Ball. As the group's creative fountainhead, Hewett-Ball not only exhibits a masterful writing skill, but a voice that soars with commanding emotion, yet at other times quivers with endearing sincerity. The strength of lyrics and melody are reinforced by the recently regrouped threesome, who provide a beautiful, yet powerful musical backdrop filled with both elegance and raw grit. After touring and recording, CABIN returns with this second offering after their critically acclaimed debut full-length Govern the Good Life. Now the band, recently signed to Machine Records, is ready to hit the road and take their craft to a national audience with this long awaited follow up release, I Was Here EP.

While giving mention to CABIN's own self released debut record, Govern the Good Life, which has sold over 2,000 copies fueled by word-of-mouth and their outstanding live shows, its author states that this is an ethic that will "work you to death" but it's a "fair price" on the EP's final offering "Less Than = To." The band leads the listener on several twists and turns ranging from changes in time signatures, dynamics and tempo while the graceful vocals feels crushed, yet defiant as the song builds to climax and abrupt halt, leaving you longing, yet satisfied with these five songs (for now anyway).

The I Was Here EP is a sublime offering, more adventurous and signature than its predecessor, which should sweep away the Coldplay comparisons the band has drawn in the past. With its message of conviction and hope, backed by a massive, moving sound, simple yet complex, it packs a punch. CABIN creates music, which is a cut above the typical, emotionally fraught rock, currently filling our airwaves. This is exquisite stuff.
