Do you remember what you were doing 20 years ago, say... September 20th, 2005? No? That's okay, maybe it's best to keep that between you and your Myspace profile. But for a young upstart band out of Georgia, they had just released a debut album that, little did they know at the time, was going to change their lives forever. 

Fast forward two decades (and many social media platforms) later and the band Cartel is still going strong and now celebrating a massive milestone for their beloved album Chroma.

As part of a huge year for the band, which includes a 20-year anniversary headlining tour and a new re-recorded version of Chroma, Cartel frontman Will Pugh stopped by Studio Eleven43 to hang out with The Noise and perform acoustic renditions of "Say Anything (Else)," "Luckie St" and "Runaway."

The soft-spoken, singer-songwriter also dove deep into what this achievement means to him personally as well as how special it is for fans to still be listening to Chroma all these years later.  

To check out the laid back and relaxing Something Quiet performance, be sure to look below. Afterward, for more from Cartel, like tickets to their current US tour, head here.
