Pop-punk favorites Cartel are set to release their third album, Cycles, on October 20th. The band spent four solid months living together and recording the album, which lead 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. In the meantime, Cartel's YouTube Channel has a series of short webisodes chronicling the recording of their album and a sneak peek into their new music video for "Let's Go," which will premiere on Buzznet.com on Tuesday, October 13th.
