Alternative rockRap

The Calling is a Alternative rock and Rap act. Their sound grew out of Katy Rose, Chad Kroeger, Dave Matthews Band, Matchbox Twenty and Third Eye Blind.

They run in the same orbit as Five for Fighting, Edwin McCain, Vertical Horizon, Howie Day and Daughtry, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Lifehouse, LFO, Noah, O-Town and peterpan, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
