The Saint Alvia Cartel is the definition of indefinable. Comprised of a who’s who list of southern Ontarian “punk rockers”, the experienced individuals’ latest endeavor can hardly be stamped with the punk rock certificate of authenticity. Sure, they may have a couple of songs that if listened to all by their lonesome might appear to fit a mold; but if you give their self-titled debut a few good spins, you’ll hear that there is a lot more to these Burlington, Ontario natives. What exactly that is, well that answer is a little more complicated. Even the band members themselves -- Greg Umetsu Taylor (Vocals/Guitar), Ben Rispin (Vocals), Rob Pasalic (Vocals/Guitar), Greg Fisher (Bass), Brandon Bliss (Keys) and Matt Richmond (Drums) -- have trouble explaining where they land on the musical plane. One thing they all agree on: wherever they’ve landed, it’s right where The Saint Alvia Cartel want to be.
