Biography

Cartel's earnest brand of emo-pop emerged out of Atlanta in 2004, when vocalist Will Pugh, bassist Ryan Roberts, drummer Kevin Sanders, and guitarists Joseph Pepper and Nic Hudson released an initial EP that caught the ear of the California-based Militia Group label. Militia signed Cartel, and the The Ransom EP EP reappeared under Militia's guidance in 2004. The label then released Chroma, Cartel's full-length debut, in September 2005. The album cracked into the Billboard Top 200, as bloggers championed the band and the video for "Honestly" found moderate airtime on MTV. The majors noticed all of this activity, and in early 2006, Cartel inked a deal with Epic. Touring continued through the rest of the year, as the band opened for acts like New Found Glory and The Starting Line. That same year, however, Roberts decided to leave the lineup. He was replaced by Jeff Lett, who joined just in time for the band's 2006 Warped Tour dates.

    Lyrics
    Please don't mind what I'm trying
    To say cause I'm, I'm being honest
    When I tell you that you
    You're part of the reason
    I'm so set on the rest of my life
    Honestly - (3:28)  -  31,850 plays

    Lyrics
    And baby don't follow their lead
    'Cause you'll never know
    Just how the story ends
    Or how the story goes
    And you are so confused

    Lyrics
    Face down, this is where it leads you too far
    Buried covered now, you'll find peace in the earth aground
    Stop now, there's no point in breathing it's not allowed
    On the surface, how can you find reason to move on?
    Until then you can runaway
    Runaway - (2:48)  -  17,225 plays

    Lyrics
    Stay up all night and sleep all day
    We were smart kids with too much to say
    And so, so sure that they were missing out
    They're the ones who are missing out
    We were elemental

    Lyrics
    Here it goes again, put on that deserving tone
    And don't forget that this was all your fault
    It's breathing down your neck, you know you've got to let this go
    You're such a wreck and now it starts to show
    'Cause all you can't deny is all held inside
