Pop-punk favorites Cartel are set to release their third album, Cycles, on October 20th. You can listen to the album exclusively on the band's UG Profile!
The band spent four solid months living together and recording the album, which singer Will Pugh credits for helping them focus and capture the energy of their live performances, something for which the band is well-known.
"
Let’s Go," the first single from the album is a spirited, call-to-arms manifesto and the perfect way to announce
Cartel’s return. Fans who pre-order
Cycles on iTunes will get an instant download of "
The Perfect Mistake," another track off
Cycles.
Also, pre-order the albumhere and receive an autographed booklet and exclusive t-shirt. In the meantime, visit Cartel’s YouTube Channel to see a series of short webisodes chronicling the recording of their album.
Cartel recently premiered their video for "Let's Go". Nearly 200 fans showed up to be extras at the shoot, and 80 of them were given hand-held cameras to record their view of the band's performance in an abandoned warehouse.
The fan-footage was then edited together along with the official footage to create the video. The guys list the "Let's Go" video as one of their favorites that they've made so far, so check out the fun here.
Cartel has also posted a quick behind-the-scenes look at the making of "Let's Go," with observations from the guys in the band, the producer and the director. Watch here.
Cartel kicks off a headlining tour with This Providence and The Summer Set on October 22nd in Raleigh, NC. The band will make stops across the country through the end of November.
