The enigma known as cartel was birthed on a glorious day in
august of '03. This day was heralded with the union of two

andy lee. Andy, who was also the drummer of the band two
week notice, brought many wonderful things to the band:
connections, charm, and fantastic hit- making abilities.
All of this coupled with the indigenous anthem creating
prowess of summer's disregard made for a truly incredible
combination. and just when things couldn't get any better,
the handsome ryan roberts up and joined the band as the
bass player - bringing staggering style and energy to the
already amazing mixture. With the lineup set, cartel set
out to conquer the city and then the country with its
infectious brood of rock 'n' ro More...

        ------ About the song Luckie St. performed by Cartel

    This song makes me think of one of the best nights I spent in my life, wandering around downtown Atlanta with the most amazing guy after a concert. We walked down Luckie Street, getting carried away with the energy of the city and the rush of life. It was so fun and romantic, makes me wish I could get lost with him again...

        ------ About the song Save Us performed by Cartel

    This song isn't about a god or about it being religious...its about a girl ''simple words we never knew..the power behind what they put us through'' he's talking about l LOVE U and that the couple never knew what they were getting into...they thought it was the perfect relationship but all there left with is memories of what used too be

    this doesn't mean you should call!! | Reviewer: to B
        ------ About the song If I Fail performed by Cartel

    Of course I still think about you, you'll always be in my heart. I threw everything away that ever reminded me of you except that tshirt of yours I still have i can't seem to let go of it, I'm a dork too cause I sleep in it some nights when it's been a bad day for me. Actually i remember your birthday exactly, I got really drunk! I had to delete this song and hinder from my computer, but when hinder plays at my work, I always stop for a second and disappear in my own world, then I come back to reality.... This is totally what's best for us and just because I'm a strong girl doesn't mean it don't hurt sometimes (but not enough to ever go through what i went through again with you). Hope the best for you and the new baby boy (landon right??) and the woman you chose. My lil family life is going AWESOME, actually perfect, it would kill him to know I was writing this! xoxoxo


    right. | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song If I Fail performed by Cartel

    yes ... I understand this song.

    I met a guy when I was 12. he was 15 at the time. we've been close friends for the past 8 years, despite our relationship being very rocky. he's had a girlfriend for the past 6 years who is extremely possessive and jealous ... to the point where he's had to hide our friendship. to the point where we would meet secretly multiple times a week, travelling 3 hours each way to see each other, sleeping in each other's arms. but it was totally platonic.

    until I figured out, hey, wait, I am in love with him. I hid it from him for months but finally confessed on a night when I was rather emotional. after a lot of stress and confusion he yelled that he was in love with me, too, that he has been for years, since we met. that he's had to watch me go through boyfriend after boyfriend, guy after guy, wondering why I never liked him that way.

    but he won't leave his girlfriend. because he loves her? no. because of some ridiculous sense of obligation.

    now I'm starting a relationship with someone else, who has been my friend for years, as well. so we're both tied to each other and always will be, we both have this emotional affair, we've always had this secret connection, but now we know exactly what it is and we can't pretend when we're around each other.

    so ... we're in love with each other. we're each others' first loves. and there are other people in our lives who will be affected by whatever we do, what we want to do, what we won't allow ourselves to do ...

    yeah. I get this song.


    I love this song. | Reviewer: Wes.
        ------ About the song Save Us performed by Cartel

    And I think it's pretty cool how the words "We hold these truths self evident" is also found in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" Speech. =]
    Makes me smile.
    And oh my, Will has an absolutely beautiful voice.


    Who will save us? | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Save Us performed by Cartel

    I know that going off on my religious beliefs on a secular song such as this doesn't fit in. But I can't stop from saying that it seems like God is the one who can save us. The song is confusing, and like it was said above, poetry does have a different meaning to each of its readers, but the lyrics of this song are hard to understand in a general perspective. I really like the fourth stanza and the chorus, 'we all need someone to tell us how to save the state of where we are' and 'we hold these truths self evident the lies we used to represent what we are because it was never meant to be' its almost as if the lies don't matter in the end becuase we need to be who we were meant to be but not who society wants us to.


    Im..speechless | Reviewer: Taylor
        ------ About the song The Minstrel's Prayer performed by Cartel

    I...don't know if words can explain how...amazing this song is. It's so..perfect. It's impossible to understand how one song could change u so much. But im glad it did. Thankyou Cartel. You saved my life. Shelter me oh genious words just give me strength to pen these things"


    A | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song A performed by Cartel

    Wow...every time that I listen to some of there songs im stuck in ah...not only are they great musicians but great poets. A, Q, and Save Us are 3 of my all time favorite songs, they inspire me to do something, something that has a higher meaning, I can't just sit and listen to this song like I can others. I also like how on this one they include the lyric 'all we can do is prey' on the other two songs on this cd about this subject they never actually claimed they were talking about God. But this is practically saying(in my point of view) that we can only ask God to save us, and personally we are the only ones able to find the answer, taht is, the answer to life, which is God.


    just wow. | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song The Minstrel's Prayer performed by Cartel

    I know this song has been out for a good year or longer now, but it to this day still speaks to me. It's absolutely amazing. His voice carries it so perfectly and the constant -da da da- bass in the background blends so well. Cartel can get away with pretty much anything now-a-days it seems.
    Simply beautiful.


    Sad | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Wasted performed by Cartel

    i can relate to this bit:
    And he's 18 he couldn't wait to move out
    his parents wonder what all the rush is about
    they never bothered with his dreams only thinking of theirs
    wonders why he doesn't call and why he doesn't care

    because my brother is exactly like that.
    he doesnt call. he doesnt care. he doesnt give a crap.

    i love him so much.


    favorite | Reviewer: jill
        ------ About the song A performed by Cartel

    usually, when you ask a person what his or her favorite song is, the most common reply is "i really can't choose!" if you were to ask me, however, i would tell you that my all-time favorite song is A by cartel. this is the only song that has ever made me cry for no reason, and i have most definitely listened to it more than any other song, regardless of the length. it puts me to sleep at night, puts me in a better mood when i'm sad or upset, calms me down when i'm angry, or makes me feel even better when i'm happy. this song is amazing, and it has been my favorite for a few years now. if i am passionate about any music, it is this band, especially this song.
    so thank you cartel, for making such truly astounding music.
    love, jill.


    A - What it's About | Reviewer: Matt
        ------ About the song A performed by Cartel

    The final line of this song, Kevin, is actually a lyric written by Brian Wilson for a Beach Boys song called, "I Know There's an Answer." Will Pugh has said in interviews before that one of his main influences in writing for Cartel is Brian Wilson (appropriately). Brian Wilson's "SMILE" is a critically acclaimed concept album, and one of the main themes on that album is recurring melodies and lyrics throughout the movements of the work. One can only assume by observing the Brian Wilson lyric in "A" and the re-emerging of melodies/lyrics from previous songs on the record (Q, Burn This City, Save Us) that Will Pugh was trying to pay some kind of creative tribute to Brian Wilson's influence on Cartel through this fantastic showcase of songwriting that is "A."


    political? | Reviewer: sarah
        ------ About the song Save Us performed by Cartel

    It seems very political and third-worldesque. "the power behind- what they put us through", "Out of rhythm with our time", and the line about meaning is, despite the punctuation here, sung as 'without the meaning and the rhyming-can you save?" almost like can someone help without all the political bull and spin? I've used it before to accompany a poverty awareness presentation and people commented on its suitability. However, someone above said that the meaning was hard to pinpoint so it could just be a song open to interpretation. Many poets say that once a poem is written it no longer belongs to them, but to its reader.


    Reflective | Reviewer: Tania
        ------ About the song The Minstrel's Prayer performed by Cartel

    The first time I heard this song, I was a bit confused about what type of music 'Cartel' was all about. But, that didn't matter. The Beat and words blend so perfectly in this song. For a good year, this song was my morning ritual. It helped me get through the day.


    EEEEEEK | Reviewer: bblobonline.com (bblob)
