    Pre-orders for Cartel’s new recording of Chroma will go live on May 30th at 12:00 PM EST. The press release can be found below.

     Alternative rock band Cartel is excited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their iconic album Chroma this year with Chroma - 2025 – a re-recorded version of the record, including new guest vocals from Cassadee Pope (Hey Monday) – and a full US headline tour this fall. Featuring hit singles including “Honestly” and “Say Anything (Else)”, Chroma debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and has widely been regarded as one of the best pop punk albums of all time.
     
    Chroma - 2025 is set to be released on September 12, 2025 via Field Day Records, and fans can look forward to their first taste this Friday, May 30th with the release of “Honestly - 2025”. Pre-save “Honestly - 2025” here. Vinyl pre-orders will also be available starting Friday, May 30th at 12pm ET at fielddayrecords.com.
     It’s a privilege to still have the opportunity to share this with all the people who celebrate this record alongside us,” shares front man Will Pugh. “It’s hard to put in to words the level of gratitude we have for this moment, and we hope that is conveyed during this anniversary.”
    
    He continues: “The whole idea was to bring Chroma into a modern place sonically and reconcile the live versions of these songs with what is on record. Our hope is that current fans will rock out harder and that new fans will be able to discover these songs in a modern context.”
     
    In addition to the release of Chroma - 2025 Cartel will be embarking on a North American headline tour this fall, kicking off with the album release on September 12th in Charlotte. The tour features stops in Nashville, Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, Seattle, San Diego, Austin, and more, concluding with a hometown headline show in Atlanta. Pre-sale tickets for all shows, including VIP packages will be available starting May 28th at www.chroma20.com, with general on-sale starting this Friday, May 30th.
     
    Prior to their fall headline tour, Cartel will be performing at the Vans Warped Tour on June 14-15 in Washington, D.C. and July 26-27 in Long Beach, CA.
    
    Stay tuned for more coming soon.

    Didn't they re-record it because they didn't have the rights to it anymore? Or something along those lines at least?

    I'm here for it either way and will always support Cartel, as I love their music! If this is the only way they can release it and the only way I can own Chroma on vinyl, without it costing $200+, then I'm okay with that. I might even wind up loving a re-record more than the original, plus I have the original CD anyway.

    With the lack of revenue streaming brings in I fully endorse bands doing this. Instead of letting great songs die and get buried... give them a re-birth and capitalize and monetize while you can. It's almost criminal how streaming crushed any income a band can make on their actual product. Here for it :praise:

    No I get that part, I know it's a re-recorded version, I knew it was coming too, but I don't remember the reason why, is all. I assume it's a rights issue.
     
  9. Yes, they were unable to get it re-pressed for that reason. And they wanted to change up some stuff to be closer to how it how the songs sound live.

    That's what I figured it would probably be, thank you for the clarification. Can't wait to hear it! Field Day Records has been great with everything I've purchased from them too! Still hoping they release the In Stereo EP (with Japanese deluxe tracks) on vinyl at some point, like they mentioned doing in the past.
