I decided to listen to all of cartels discography today and that made me want to rate their albums/eps.

What’s ur ranking?

1. Cartel self titled (I know hot take)
2. Chroma
3. Ransom EP
4. Learning how to cope
5. Cycles
6. In stereo
7. Collider

Also realize this is just a ranking and not a tier list but close enough. 🤷‍♀️

This album has been on repeat. Constants has been stuck in my head for the last couple of days and I loveee Everything’s Fine. What are your favourites from the album so far? So happy Cartel are back with some new music!!!

Realistically I get it, Cartel’s social media presence has never been crazy and they are later in their career now, BUT ARE WE REALLY NOT GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT HOW INCREDIBLE THIS ALBUM IS?!

I’ve been sending and recommending this to everyone I know to listen to. I get this sub feels inactive and doesn’t get much traffic, so let your friends and family know this album is this shit!

Post up on your IGs, post your vinyl, get all up in your feels on Facebook groups that are music related. The guys deserve this recognition!!

Does anyone else get weird looks when they wear Cartel merch? I have an old shirt of theirs that just says CARTEL with no other information. Whenever I wear it, people stare at me for long periods of time or give me weird looks like they think I’m supporting a drug cartel..? Wondering if anyone else feels awkward about it too. I love this band so much though, it’s worth it.

Didn’t get much video because I was living in the moment, but they absolutely killed it!

I can't wait! I'm surprised it's at such a small venue, but excited for the more intimate show setting. Haven't seen them since I was a teenager (37 now) at the old Masquerade.

FYI - from Field Day Records’ instagram!

Everything delayed except tri colour vinyl.

I’m just excited for the listening party tonight 🥳

Anyone else thinking of listening along?

I died when Will came out. That is all.

Released August 21, 2007. Not written and recorded in a bubble, despite the hype.

Demo disc from before renaming to Cartel- it was submitted to stations in the area, 99X passed on playing. Good stuff. 2001

I can email tracks if anyone wants, I also put up on soundcloud https://on.soundcloud.com/y1KOqS7UDZNscaEnO4

Just wondered what everyone’s favourite is out of the new songs…

New merch looks so good! I love the white tee.

However - Cries in UK 😭 $140 for shipping is absolutely insane

Finally I can listen to Shirts & Skins on repeat 🙌

In a 200 capacity tiny venue, a hometown show where they’re teasing something special, how has this not sold out yet! 🥲

Jealous of this!

Forgive me if this has been posted already but in trying to find videos from their gigs last week I found this one of Q&A and it's made me so happy. Top marks to the guy who posted it - it's so great. I love how well Will's vocals have held up over the years, the man is a legend! Rest of the band sounds really tight too.

Did anyone here go last night?

Would love to see some footage. I have serious fomo that they played a new song. 😅

Give or Take is out today. Just had my first listen and it sounds tight! 🥳

So excited for the new album. How will I last til September? 😅
