Album Notes Personnel: Will Pugh (vocals, guitar); Joseph Pepper (guitar); Kevin Sanders (drums). Audio Mixer: Ben Grosse. Recording information: WU Studios, NYC. Released two years after Cartel's BAND IN A BUBBLE reality show, CYCLES finds the group taking another stab at anthemic pop/rock replete with triple-layered guitars and carpe diem lyrics. "Let me introduce myself" goes the very first line, a sly reference to the band's own critique of the BAND IN A BUBBLE experiment, and CYCLES does a competent job realigning the group with its emo-pop contemporaries. Songs like "Let's Go," "Deep South," "Faster Ride" are the highlights here, evoking a sense of teenaged uplift that affects even the oldest of listeners.
