Comments: The tracks I recommended are ones you MUST try or…die. Joking. The Higher sounds similar to Cartel only…dare I say–better. So ha. Power pop + punk rock are my two favorite genres and this has been the hottest album I heard this year since the Audition‘s Controversy Loves Company. Give it a shot.

By the way…wonder if I uploaded Cartel’s album -_-;; hopefully I did. I mean, it’s awesome. Lemme check…nope. But I did.

And the hidden track is part of 12! I LOVE IT.
