Cartel To Perform Live On TRL

[Rohan Kohli]

Cartel (http://www.cartelrocks.com) will be performing "Honestly" live on TRL on December 21st.

[iihungrieii]

hopefully this makes them bigger than they already are.

[Johnny Clutch]

Wow... good for them

[GreenJellyBean]

=]

but it's gonna be funny seeing the girls with i <3 will/will is sexy shirts. i saw some of them the last time i saw cartel..haha.

[promisesXXlies]

hopefully this makes them bigger than they already are.

I'm sure it will...
just as long as the pittsburgh show doesn't sell out (because i haven't gotten my tickets yet...) then maybe they'll start playing them on the radio...the only time i ever get to listen to them around here is the stuff on my computer...

[Everiggs]

I am not ashamed to say that Cartel is one of my favorite bands...That being said, they need to release a new single. Very soon. That Vanessa chick is hot.

[N8IVIin0rity]

this band r00lz.

Warped Tour was hilarious. We were handing out flyers for their autograph signing and when we'd give one to the girls, they would completely lose it. Some of the guys would too, actually....

Chroma needs to go gold.. NAY. Chroma needs to go platinum.

[emoboy]

bound to happen ... there the next band to hit it big.

[YourMusicSucks]

Are they on TRL yet? Hopefully this will push them that far.

Can someone guarantee me there will be a news post reminding me to watch it? haha

[Chemical Love]

Aww shit. Here comes the big record sales.

[hydraulicheart]

I believe they're also playing that Cartoon Network Concert Series this Friday night.

[fredrico0012]

They have been riding this single for a long time now.

I would die of laughter if I saw that. A couple of my friends threatened to make shirts like that.... I was like... yeah go to the show by yourself then.

[walshknilb281]

time for a new video, burn this city please?

[konstantine94]

time for a new video, burn this city please?

I wish. Will said the new video would be Say Anything (Else) in some recent interviews.

[Prestonxsmith]

time for a new video, burn this city please?
Amen. But until then, Sony will try to make "Honestly" as big as it can get.

[YourMusicSucks]

Amen. But until then, Sony will try to make "Honestly" as big as it can get.

Props to Sony for intelligence.

[Music4Torching]

i remember seeing cartel open for the rocket summer and brandtson in a tiny little room behind some pizza parlor in cleveland about 2 years ago. i had never heard of them but i remember my friend turning to me and saying 'wow. these guys sound in credible live. i can't believe they haven't blow up yet...and that bass player is sort of creeping me out.'

i'm glad they're getting big, they've earned it. chroma is a great pop album.

[AdamTheGreat]

saweeeet

[lindZ629]

i hate TRL with a passion, but its really good for them

[earlynovemberX]

here we go....

[deecee85]

it's been "here we go..." for about 6 months now buddy

[cubz84]

it's been "here we go..." for about 6 months now buddy

haha. word up, dan.

[mikearduini9]

time for a new video, burn this city please?

Like someone else said, I believe it will be "Say Anything (Else)". It seems that song's being pushed, with it being on Madden 2007 and all, so it makes sense.

[holdontightly]

well i guess they got their wish of being on trl.

[mikeyystyles]

I think he meant to say, "here we reeaaally go!"

[best_mistake392]

ah drats
now i have to watch TRL

oh well
good for them
its a really excellent album ^^

[brentkid]

Surprised they're still pushing this song.

Good for them though. Can't wait to see them in February.

[heavyheart_x3]

i hate TRL with a passion, but its really good for them
agreeeeed

[buttons]

I believe they're also playing that Cartoon Network Concert Series this Friday night.

again?

lolz.

and fbtmof<3333 :]

[chcougar1]

Good lord it took MTV long enough to notice these guys my goodness.

Good for them! FINALLY! haha I was surprised when I saw they are playing a 1200 person venue here in Portland, but now maybe the crowd will be a little bigger!

[konstantine94]

Haha, my 8 year old brother is always talking about them being on Cartoon Network, now I know he wasn't kidding.

I'm actually not surprised they are playing the Roseland. The other venues in Portland would definitely sell out. Is Roseland seriously 1200 cap? I thought it was 800, Will said it's 1000.

[black rose]

Good lord it took MTV long enough to notice these guys my goodness.seriously.

[siimpx]

good for them, they have pushing this song hardcore since the summer. i'm surprised it's taking so long to really pick up.

[Matt_Dizzle]

oh boy.

[falloutboy.]

this is one of the final steps for them becoming pop kings of the world (besides fall out boy)

[readyfredi]

why do people regaurd trl as a good thing?

[chrisPAIN]

anyone else think Honestly is one of their weaker songs?
As much as i love Chroma, i still like that Ransom EP even more

[Greg]

good for them, they have pushing this song hardcore since the summer. i'm surprised it's taking so long to really pick up.
they've been pushing it for almost a year now i swear

[konstantine94]

I think it's just good exposure for the band.

I wish these boys all the success in the world.

[TheGoodnightMoon]

This is huge for them, after this there is no looking back. I do agree though that they need to do a new single. Though I was under the impression that the Say Anything Else video was for a project for one of their friends. It would be cool if that ended up being the actual video, it's funny as hell. Best of luck to those boys. If only they would release Burn This City as a single, that has guaranteed success written all over it if it's accompanied by a kick ass video.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

they've been pushing it for almost a year now i swear

pretty much.

[petey536]

time for a new video, burn this city please?
that would be awesome, best song on that cd. but good for cartel, im happy there getting bigger

[Gleebo]

Kudos to them and the record label for FINALLY getting this one through the thick heads of the mainstream music world. How many hammers have been broke and anvils been dropped trying to get these guys their due? How long has everyone around here been predicting the success of Cartel and Say Anything? I can't wait to smack people when they start coming up to me and asking if I have heard of this great new band called Cartel.

Whenever someone asks me if I've heard of them I start laughing at them. I've been doing a lot of promo for them lately because of my internship at Sony and it's really cool to see people's reaction to their music. These kids at the Panic! At The Disco show were like "OMG CARTEL!" and grabbing Live Dude's EP's from me. I was kind of scared.

too bad we've been listening to them for AT LEAST 2 years already haha

[burnout86]

Ransom EP > Chroma

[konstantine94]

too bad we've been listening to them for AT LEAST 2 years already haha

I think I got into them summer or fall of 05? Whenever AP magazine wrote something about Luckie St. Seriously, if one more person asks if I've heard of them/think Will is cute, I'm going to punch them.

[hydraulicheart]

again?

lolz.

and fbtmof<3333 :]
Haha, j/k. It's an encore of their performance.

Oh definitely, fbtmof<3

[LeftCoastEnvy24]

this doesnt surprise me at all ... It caught on rather quick with people that listen to more mainstream my guess is it will be a regular on TRL for quite a while good for them

[DreamOfUnity]

I don't want to call them sell outs but they shouldnt be on TRL

[eversoinviting]

I believe they're also playing that Cartoon Network Concert Series this Friday night.
again?

[Talib Scottie]

It's officially been 12 years since that song came out.

[LouderThanBombs]

i have tried on several occasions to enjoy Cartel.

by chance, i've seen them live twice (once with TSL, once with NFG), and BOTH times they had "technical difficulties" resulting in them, unprofessionally, not really saying anything or trying to keep the crowd entertained. at the NFG show, after like twenty plus minutes of nothing going on after the first couple of cartel songs, will was finally like "i'll play a song now. sorry i have nothing to say" then he played that acoustic song "minstrel's prayer"...then more technical difficulties ensued.

they just don't seem like truly genuine guys, or a truly genuine band.

i just get a really weird feeling every time i hear a song from them or see them play.

i can't quite put my finger on what's "wrong" with this band, but something is.

[mikeyystyles]

What do people think is better?

Ransom Ep or Chroma?

[RockVocalPower]

Ransom EP

[keepitsimple]

i love that cartel has been our best kept secret from the mainstream music world for so long. im predicting fall out boy fame status in 2007.

[fenderkid212]

this makes me sad :( haha

[Rest_Easy]

and it will rock you

[tiff_taff]

Good for them. They need to put out a new video though. I think Say Anything is supposed to be their next single.

[krishasaheadake]

Props to Sony for intelligence.

yea. I know most of you have heard "honestly" for a while now but in reality top 20 music listeners hasnt had the chance yet. So it's important that this single gets more time

[Talib Scottie]

It's been on Fuse, VH1 and MTV2 since June.

[hydraulicheart]

again?
I missed the 'encore' part of that ad, so no - not again. Just a repeat, my bad.

[C.R.U.X]

Lets hope it gets to top 10 so we can hear those new songs.

Wow, your experience did suck. I've always had such a good time seeing them live. I do feel like they are genuine guys though, I've interviewed them twice and we always talk about random shit like Harry Potter and golf... haha.

[Lehcar]

I wonder if they had to beg MTV for this.

Either way, good music, good dudes, so it's all good.

[NickSyseJr]

thats almost cool, but its gay.
fall out romance revolution IGNITE

[kretenauer]

maybe sometime within the next century they'll have a new hit with a new video.

[chcougar1]

so....I was watching the Duke basketball game this morning...and as they went to a commercial and were showing highlights Burn This City was playing (instrumental only).....getting bigger by the day apparently
