Cartel Achieves Gold Status for “Honestly”

CURRENTLY ON THE  10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY CHROMA TOUR

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS HIT THE LIGHTS, TEAM*, HYDRA MELODY & DRIVER FRIENDLY

Cartel is thrilled to announce their hit single “Honestly” has gone gold selling over 500,000 singles to date. To celebrate, Cartel are releasing a gold label on gold vinyl 7″ (limited to 500 copies made) via Field Day Records including the original “Honestly” track and an acoustic version of “Honestly” which was produced, recorded, and mixed by Zack and Kenneth. Pre-orders are only available at shows on the Chroma 10-year Anniversary Tour. More information on shipment details coming soon. Will Pugh had this to say about the achievement:

“I think every artist goes into the studio for the first time and sees the Gold and Platinum plaques on the walls and imagines having one of their own. It certainly was a dream of ours to get one and now that it’s a reality it still feels like a dream. We couldn’t thank our fans enough for supporting us through the years and we share this achievement with them.”

After kicking off their wildly-anticipated 10-Year Anniversary Chroma tour (with support from Hit The Lights [east coast only], TEAM*, Driver Friendly, and Hydra Melody [west coast only]) earlier this month, Cartel are thrilled to be partnering with Yahoo! Live and Live Nation for a special stream of their upcoming sold out NYC show at Gramercy Theatre on April 19, 2015. Fans are encouraged to head over to Yahoo! Live to stream the concert here: https://screen.yahoo.com/live/event/cartel

 

Copies are still available for the band-approved edition of Chroma on vinyl via Field Day Records. The official release features include 180g double vinyl, a first pressing of white vinyl, and a gate fold in die-cast slip. Only 1000 copies were made for the initial pressing. Fans are encouraged to purchase their vinyl atCartelChroma.com.
