Fasten your seat belts and slick back your hair 'cause this smart-ass band of highway desperados otherwise known as the Cartels are puttin' the pedal to the medal.

The Cartels were born out of a Jan/97 Las Vegas road trip across the state line. The details are sketchy, but trouble is rumoured to have started in a Nevada bowling alley.

Preferring not to talk about that particular incident, Brian Bresett - singer, songwriter & guitarist is quick to point out that although he may have missed more than the occasional class by attending "real" life school. He has never heard a Ramones record he didn't like.

Greg Laikin - singer, songwriter & bass guitarist balks at the though of anything more important that the personal enjoyment derived from excess. "Rock & Roll, fast cars & cool hair are all that count!"

Dave Troutman - drummer and heartbeat of the act, tends to be evasive when asked about reports of a somewhat questionable past. Maintaining a truck stop grin & answering with an experienced "no comment!"
