Cartel w/ This Providence

Talk about building a buzz: by spring of 2006, Epic recording artists CARTEL had garnered coveted promotional slots from Yahoo! Music, AOL Music, and Clear Channel Online. That amplified the Atlanta quintet's already-heavy online presence, as evidenced by more than a million streams on Absolutepunk.net and more than 50,000 plays in a single day on PureVolume.net. In addition, the companion video for hook-happy lead single "Honestly"-off sharply penned new album CHROMA-was in rotation on MTVU and Fuse, the band had secured on the spot on the 2007 version of the mega-popular Madden NFL video game series and were added to the 2006 Warped Tour lineup.
No wonder Alternative Press hailed them as "A Band You Need To Know."
