 just a heads up; this is NOT militia's Cartel Oct 15, 2005
just a quick heads up; this is NOT the same cartel that wrote and recorded "ransom EP" or "Chroma". This is a different, weird foreign group. i bought "saftey in numbers" without checking the cartel discovery first, and i wasted my money. if you're looking for material from the militia band cartel, get ransom or chroma.

 Saw this band live and bought the CD... Aug 10, 2005
I saw this band in Washington D.C. recently at the Black Cat.
These guy certainly know how to put the gradiose song structures together, big hooks... More of an epic sound. I would agree that they have the Doves, Elbow, Interpol, U2, and even, Coldplay hints in their total sound. One band they REALLY remind is South (the British band.)
I bought this E.P. and realized the live set is much different. Hopefully these boys will put out something soon with a couple of the newer tunes. The hallmark tunes on this disc are Fleets and Polly Jean.

Great EP... I'm humming to the tune of
Fleets as I write this. Can't wait to hear more!

A promising debut... May 17, 2005
After seeing Cartel play live several times in NYC and DC, I rushed out to pick up this EP. Their live shows combine a wash of beautiful, melodic guitar noise with unique rhythms resulting in some truly amazing tunes. I love the intensity of Cartel's live performances and I was equally impressed with the quality and creativity of their work in the studio, especially considering this EP is entirely SELF-RELEASED! Cartel's sound is uniquely their own, but I would recommend "Safety in Numbers" for anyone who likes the darkly melodic sounds of Doves, Elbow, and Interpol and for anyone who supports truly independent music. This is only a taste of what Cartel has to offer; I can't wait to hear more!
