The Calling

THE CALLING make the kind of music that lifts spirits, inspires perseverance against all odds, and reminds you that you’re not alone. The multi-Platinum Los Angeles, CA group fronted and founded by Alex Band [vocals, guitar] have quietly soundtracked a handful of major historical moments and countless treasured memories for fans worldwide. Selling over 10 million albums worldwide, their songs have rung out everywhere from the closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics® to the opening of the Academy® Awards. They have garnered numerous awards, gathered billions of streams, regularly registered eight million-plus monthly listeners on Spotify, and received dozens of massive film and television placements. Moreover, they have performed for sold-out audiences on multiple continents. At the turn of the century, THE CALLING’s breakout hit “Wherever You Will Go” gradually climbed the charts until it cracked the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100, achieved a multi-Platinum certification, and resounded in every corner of popular culture with syncs in Coyote Ugly, Saving Grace, Smallville, and the BBC’s Strike, to name a few. It held #1 on the Billboard Adult Pop Airplay Chart for 23 consecutive weeks and achieved the crown of “No. 1 Adult Pop Song of the Decade,” according to Billboard. During the twenty-twenties, it notably joined Spotify’s prestigious “billions club,” eclipsing 1 billion streams on the platform. Of course, it also adorned the band’s full-length debut, Camino Palmero, which reached platinum status as well, in over 30 countries. Meanwhile, 2004’s follow-up, Two, yielded the fan favorite “Our Lives” which went #1 in multiple countries. 22 years later, they start their next era with Daniel Damico [guitar, keys], and Dom Liberati [bass, programming] joining Alex. In 2026, THE CALLING return with their long-awaited third full-length album, BEFORE THE WORLD TURNS TO DUST [TLG / Virgin Music Group], introduced by the single “Dust.”
