Cartel EP on iTunes

Since the date was pushed all the way back to August 21st, the guys decided to put out a 3 song EP on the original release date. The songs are Lose It, No Subject (Come With Me), and The Fortune. I'm pretty sure The Fortune was the song when they recorded us clapping at the bubble hah.

Also, Cartel is playing a MYSPACE SECRET SHOW! with The Rocket Summer tonight at The Drunken Unicorn in Atlanta, GE. The show is FREE, all ages, and starts at 7 so get there early before it fills up!

New Video Calls For New Looks

Cartel spent yesterday in LA making the video for their first single "Lose It" off the new record. You can look through all of the pictures on their buzznet.

AND Joseph Pepper followed through with what he said and shaved his beard into a mustache. It does look very different but it isn't unbearable, just as long as he grows it back. On the other hand Will is now sporting a nice goatee...





Although I cannot wait for Cartel's new album there are several other albums coming out this month. TOMORROW The Rocket Summer's new album "Do You Feel" will be in stores but it's not too late to pre-order it now!

Hey Everyone!

Band In A Bubble has been over for a couple weeks now and I still find myself checking the website, watching videos, looking at pictures, and still writing on the message boards. But alas, it's over and us Cartel fans must look towards what is in the future, THE NEW ALBUM! I'm just counting down the days...

I've decided to try and continue this blog as my official Cartel fan blog. I doubt I'll remember to update this as frequently as I would like to but I'll try and write about all of Cartel's updates, shows I go to, and things of that nature.

Since Cartel has been out of the Bubble they have changed the date of the album release from July 24th to August 21st. I do not know why but I'm just guessing they had trouble with production of the cd's because a month is a pretty fast turn around. Besides that, the band has also announced their next headlining tour with Nightmare Of You (great band, if you haven't heard of them you should definatly check them out) and Weatherbox.
