Cartel brings Georgia to NY

Toting a sweet Southern sound that's catchier than the clap, Georgia pop-rockers Cartel made their debut visit to Rochester, with a healthy amount of UB students sprinkled throughout the Flower City's Water Street Music Hall.Sticking true to their roots, Cartel began the night with the purely "Chromatic" tunes "Luckie St." and "If I Fail." Painfully off-key screams and lyrical accompaniment were belted back at singer Will Pugh, whose voice was as pleasant as his beloved Georgia summer afternoon.Upping the already fast-paced set was "Say Anything(else)," easily one of the band's catchiest tunes.
