Biography

Twenty seconds into “Let’s Go,” the opening track on CARTEL’s third full length CYCLES, singer Will Pugh declares, “I’ve got so much left to do but I’ll start with this song.” For the Atlanta, GA pop-rock quintet to be prioritizing, to have their collective gaze so firmly focused on the horizon, the future and all its possibilities is both incendiary and inspiring. Incendiary and inspiring as… Read more in Amazon's Cartel Store

This is the debut release from Atlanta five piece Cartel. The Ransom E.P is six songs composed of pure energy and unfettered passion expressed through distorted amps and hook filled choruses.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great place to start, January 11, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Ransom (Audio CD)
Cartel, IMO, is one of the best out there. period. their music is really, REALLY catchy. Almost everything you hear is a hook, and the lead singer has great pipes. Although i'd have to say i like their newest, "chroma", a little better, this record is still no less than 5 stars.

1. Lucky st...(available on "chroma", catchy as all hell 10/10)
2. Write this down...(amazingly catchy pop-punk track 9/10)
3. Hey, don't stop...(one of the catchiest pop-rockers i've ever heard. The song has two hooks and never lets down for it's entire duration. This one is the best cartel song ever IMO 11/10)
4. The city never sleeps...(another great song, very good hook, and the melody will stick in your head for awhile 10/10)
5. Last chance...(sweet 8/10)
6. The ransom...(title track, a bit more rock than pop-rock 8/10)
7. Fiend...(acoustic song. not as good as the album's songs early on in the record, but solid 7/10)

The best EP i've ever heard. If records like "say it like you mean it" and "sticks and stones" changed your life, you MUST get to know cartel. Pop-punk never sounded so good.

5.0 out of 5 stars the beginning of greatness, April 17, 2006
This review is from: Ransom (Audio CD)
Cartel is an awesome this CD is just a great at Chroma. Once again all the tracks on here are just incredible. Cartel is very talented and I have a great feeling they will be around for awhile. And this is not pop-punk it's rock n roll.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Album..., August 1, 2007

This review is from: Ransom (Audio CD)
I found out about Cartel a long time ago and I got one of my best friends hooked on them. My friend even got me their autograph! It has a little different sound than Chroma, but you have to listen to really hear it. A must have for any Cartel fan.
