The Story
The Call is an American new wave band active since 1980, known for their thoughtful lyrics and anthemic sound. Fronted by Michael Been, the group emerged from Santa Cruz, California, and released nine studio albums over their two-decade run. Their music often blended rock with introspective themes, highlighted in tracks like "Everywhere I Go." One of their more notable songs, "I Still Believe," found new life when covered by Tim Cappello for "The Lost Boys." Another standout, "Let the Day Begin," became a rallying cry during Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign, showcasing the band's ability to create tunes that connect deeply with listeners.
