A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of hanging out with the guys from Cartel before their show at the School of Rock in South Hackensack, NJ. Check out our interview with them below as we discussed the whole Dr. Pepper/bubble event, being on a new label, their love of Nascar, and much much more. Everyone was around for the interview except Nic who was working on his guitar for most of it but returned near the end. You’ll probably hear Kevin the most on here. Anyways, listen below:
1. You guys were on Epic for your first two full albums. Now you’re on Wind-Up. Why the change?

2. Any backlash to being on the same label as Creed?

3. The second album in the bubble. Was it rushed? Do you regret it?

4. Besides the bubble, how was recording this album Cycles different?
