Yes....name changed, new album completed, 2 New songs for YOU to hear, and June is still warming up!
No you were not dreaming....this time. Our name did change from London Calling to Calling London. After having the name since 1996, we found it necessary to make a change to move keep on moving forward. So we made the smallest change we could so that you would still know the band.
Now that we got that out of the way, the album is completed, finished, recorded, and we are just waiting to release it to you guys on the many different digital media outlets. In the meantime we are releasing two Brand New songs for you right here, and right now (I Spread My Wings and Sanctified). We are so excited about this new album and we hope that the wait has not been too long as we have all been stuck in "Quarantine". We can promise that we have put everything, the kitchen sink, a couple of steel pipes, a spare tire, and maybe even a small orchestra as well as our hearts and souls into this album and it's all for you. Now I hope that you are enjoying this June so far and with everything going on in the world, we invite you into ours and bid you "Welcome To The Dream"! - Ron Cederlund

About Calling London
Calling London was formed in the spring of 1996 in Shippensburg, PA. Founding members, Steve Ott and Ron Cederlund, wanted to create their own music using many of the influences that inspired them growing up, while trying to create their own sound.
The name “Calling London” came about as both Ott and Cederlund were really into the music coming out of England in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Especially the New Wave music in the 80s. You can hear that influence in their music. It was like the music scene in England was calling to them. And that is how the name came to be.
Ott and Cederlund first met in the summer of 1992 at a music charity event. They got to talking about the music that influenced them and found that they had a lot in common. They developed a strong friendship and wanted to put their musical talents together. They started playing in cover bands while working on their own music before creating Calling London.
Calling London's sound has been described as melodic rock, progressive rock and new wave. Being influenced by such artists as ELO, The Police, Rush, Queen, Styx, Devo, The Fixx, Thomas Dolby and many others.
Calling London recorded their first album in the summer of 1997 which was a self titled album. Their second album was recorded in the winter of 2000 titled "Fear". Playing all the instruments themselves with a few guest musicians. Both albums generated some interest in Europe to some good reviews.
Calling London is currently working on their third album with hopes of more albums to follow. (expired link)
