A Path Less Traveled (2008)
Though this was his first serious endeavor, a local band from Buford, Georgia, A Path Less Traveled would begin the vocal duo, and best friend stardom of both Carter, and still today, co-frontman Michael Bohn.
Woe, Is Me (2009–2011)
Carter was recruited in 2009 to help develop the band Woe, Is Me. Already reaping interest and funding from Rise Records, Carter began writing demos with the band just before once again he would be joined in ranks by none other than Michael Bohn. Together with the band they recorded one full length entitled "Numbers" They also re-imagined a cover of Katy Perry's Hot n Cold for Fearless Records's Punk Goes Pop 3 before leaving the band due to personal and internal differences with the band and its core. Though Carter left first and pursued a milestone of Solo development and touring, with dedicated music partner Tyler "Scout" Acord, it wasn't long before he began development with Scout on a brainchild known as "Issues."
Issues (2012–Present)
Issues was started in the summer of 2012 by Carter alongside Ty "Scout" Acord. At first, the band was created as a side project for Carter and Acord, but with the departure of Michael Bohn from Woe, Is Me, it was sure that the project would become a more serious endeavor. Bohn joined the development process with other disbanded members of Woe, Is Me. Fans and industry suits caught wind of the project and the demand began to grow faster than the developing project, creating a lot of pressure for style and quality. Carter and Acord would need to recruit new talent for the band in order to create something new and innovative as well as avoid the band becoming what fans referred to as "Woe 2.0"
Carter was still in a recording contract with Rise and Velocity Records, therefore the band would have to work hard to create new music and fast, bringing on composer and guitar player Adrian "AJ" Rebollo. In late 2012, The quartet recorded and released its debut EP entitled "Black Diamonds" with Scout's twin brother on bass. Fact: Scout was only the project's executive producer until he began to crave a taste of the touring life. By then, the band decided to bring on Skyler Acord as the official bassist, soon followed by a permanent drummer Josh Mark Manuel.
Carter and the band released their debut LP album, Self Titled, in 2014 reaching great scores from several major rock critics, and charting at #9 on Billboard top 200. The band not long after re-released the LP as a deluxe dual disk consisting of long time orchestrated acoustic re-imagination EP "Diamond Dreams"
