About The Calling

The Calling is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1996 by lead vocalist Alex Band and guitarist Aaron Kamin. The duo began writing songs together as teenagers and released their debut album Camino Palmero in 2001, which became a commercial success driven by the breakout single "Wherever You Will Go." The song peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100, topped the Adult Top 40 for 23 weeks making it the second longest-running number one in that chart's history, and was later named the number one Adult Pop song of the 2000s decade by Billboard magazine. Their second album Two followed in 2004, featuring the single "Our Lives." The band went on hiatus in 2005 and has since reunited with a reformed lineup led by Band.
