Sweet, another band that doesn't deserve half as much publicity as they're getting!

I don't know if you've heard Will's voice, but Cartel is definitely worthy of attention, compared to shit bands like Aiden or fucking FFTL. God, I hate that band.

This band will be huge. To anyone who hasn't purchased Chroma, it is currently 9.99 at best buy.

YAY! This is one of my favourite bands and they are a local band for me so it makes me happy to see bands that I get to see all the time make it big! I hope many others love them as much as I love them because they are amazing!!!! Now I'm going through a Cartel withdrawl.....Rohan needs to get them to play a show like tomorrow in Atlanta....

This has nothing to do with what you had to say but are you in SC also?! cause I figured not many people would have a gamecock for their icon if they weren't in SC...unless you're like some hardcore fan!

are you serious. i don't think you've ever seen them live. they have so much great energy and his voice is amazing live.

I saw them w/ Panic! TREOS, and Augustana. They sucked

SydBarrett 420

04/11/06, 10:08 PM

whoever said they dont sound good live is an idiot..they sound perfect..and Will is insane!!!!

Also, why does mtv have to steal away all of my precious bands? haha good for them though they deserve the success....i just want a headlining nation wide tour in the fall in return:)

Im saying on tracks like "Burn This City" there is obvious gang vocals which is more than 2 people, but when they do it live its just the lead singer and one other guy if i remember correctly. Studio Magic

yeah, I think you're an idiot, but just to prove it:

or perhaps you could watch their live performance when they won Yahoo's Who's Next

Studio Magic wait, bands use their lead singers voice harmonized on cd's? holy shit, that's groundbreaking.

Check out just about any album released and you will hear that...what about when Say Anything does it live, are they completely Studio Magic too. Or Pennywise, they used gang vocals too.

You are a fucking idiot...do you expect them to bring the audience on stage to provide the gang vocals or what?

And you plan on using one section towards the end of one song as an example of them sounding "half as good" live...wow, good argument

I'm pretty sure Will and the bass player both sing at that part live and the fact that you cant respect the fact that this guy has some ridiculous pipes is crazy

All im saying is you shouldn't put anything to record that you cannot completely 100% duplicate live. Thats why I respect a band like TREOS. Everything you hear on their record can and is usually duplicated live, to even a much better effect than it is on record.

Yeah i'm deaf. Wow, you guys get anal when someone doesnt love your music. I saw them live and wasnted impressed. I like 2 songs off Chroma. Get over it. I've also watched the Burn This City video off punkrockvis.com or whatever it was and yes the lead singer can sing, but I still think they dont sound anywhere near as good live as they do on record.

Cartel has been my favorite band for a while. Everytime I see them they put on a great show and wills voice is always dead on. All of you guys say he can't sing live.. did you even bother checking out Franks thread yesterday with Will performing "The Minsterls Prayer"? He was dead on in that song.

i'd say cartel/augustana. they've already blown up to some degree w/ performances on late night tv but they dont get any love on this site, which is a shame. dan layus can belt it out w/ the best of them.

the new amsterdams/augustana tour is probably one of the best going right now, and you don't hear shit on here about it.
