Biography

Cartel, a band hailing from Atlanta, gained recognition in 2004 with their emo-pop sound. After signing with Militia Group, their debut album Chroma in 2005 received positive reception and charted on the Billboard Top 200. Despite lineup changes and a move to Epic Records in 2006, the band continued touring and gaining momentum. In 2007, Cartel's participation in a MTV mini-series, Band in a Bubble, led to the creation and release of their self-titled sophomore album. While the album debuted impressively, it faced mixed reviews and a departure from Epic Records, subsequently signing with Wind-Up Records for their third album, Cycles, released in 2009. Their fourth studio album, Collider, was independently released in 2012.
