Music Choice to Feature Cartel, One of Today's Hottest Emerging Pop Punk Bands, on 'Fresh Crops'

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Music Choice Official Website) - Music Choice, the leading multi-platform music network, announced today that Epic Records' pop punk band, Cartel, will be featured on the Music Choice original show 'Fresh Crops' in March on the network's free video-on-demand (VOD) music service, the most popular free VOD service in the country. Cartel took time out from their current tour to talk exclusively to Music Choice about the buzz surrounding the re-release of their debut album, Chroma, on Epic Records. The band members also open up about how they struggled through odd jobs, and living in a van for two years, before hitting it big in 2006.

Cartel, a five-member band from Atlanta, Georgia, came onto the music scene in 2004. Chroma, put them on the music map as one of the best pop punk bands of today. Alternative Press recognized their talent early on and put them on their 2005 list of "Bands You Need to Know". Following that distinction, the band went on to sign with Epic Records in March 2006, moving up from The Militia Group (a division of Sony BMG Music Entertainment). The band is currently on a 27-city tour - with performances scheduled in California, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and many other cities.

"With their unique sound and undeniable talent as songwriters, Cartel is destined to quickly grow their fan base worldwide as more fans are exposed to their music," says Justin Prager, Director of Rock and Pop Programming for Music Choice. "Fresh Crops is a perfect fit to showcase the talent of this band with endless potential."
