Ukubizwa kwasungulwa ekuqaleni kuka-2000. Ibhendi yazalelwa eLos Angeles.
I-discography ye-Calling ayifaki amarekhodi amaningi, kodwa lawo ma-albhamu abaculi abakwazile ukuwaveza azohlala enkumbulweni yabathandi bomculo unomphela.
Umlando nokuqanjwa kwe-The Calling
Emsuka weqembu kukhona u-Alex Band (amazwi) no-Aaron Kamin (isiginci). Baqala ukubhala izingoma zomculo maphakathi nawo-1990.
Bese becula ngaphansi kwegama elingaziwa kangako iGeneration Gap. Ibhendi entsha ihlanganise nomshayi wezigubhu nomdlali we-saxophonist. Abaculi bengeze kancane umsindo we-jazz kumathrekhi.
Leli qembu lajabulela ukuthandwa, nakuba lalingelutho, kodwa ngokushesha iqembu leGeneration Gap lahlakazeka. Naphezu kokuwa kweqembu, ezinhlelweni ze-Band ne-Kamin, kwavela umqondo wokudala iphrojekthi entsha. Abaculi baqale ukucula njenge-Next Door.
U-Alex no-Aaron babuyekeze izinto zabo ezibalulekile "zomculo". Manje abaculi baqala ukusebenza ku-repertoire yeqembu, kanye nezwi le-Band. Umculi waqala ukuthuthukisa i-baritone "yesignesha". Kodwa abafana babengenayo i-PR kanye nomkhiqizi ohlakaniphile. "Ukubhukuda" okuzimele akuzange kunikeze umphumela ofanele.
Ngokushesha, abaculi baqala ukushiya amakhasethi edemo amathrekhi amasha ebhokisini leposi likaRon Fair, isikhulu ebhizinisini lomculo kanye nomakhelwane weBand ku-albhamu yeCamino Palmero. Bekungesinye sezinqumo ezilungile zalaba ababili.
URon wahlabeka umxhwele ngomsebenzi wabaculi abasebasha. Ithimba lasheshe lathola uhlobo olufanayo lomsindo. Umsebenzi wokuqala we-duo uthonywe yi-Matchbox Twenty, Third Eye Blind, Train kanye ne-Fastball. Ngo-1999, abaculi basayina inkontileka nelebula le-RCA.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-duo yaqala ukwenza njenge-The Calling. Inkinga yokuqala laba ababili ababhekane nayo kwaba umsindo omubi. Ukungabibikho kwabaculi kwazenza kwazwakala.
Isethulo se-albhamu yokuqala
Ngokushesha nje ngemva kokusayina inkontileka, iThe Calling yaqala ukusebenza ekuhlanganiseni kwayo kokuqala. Laba ababili baqophe i-albhamu nabaculi basestudio.
Ngenkathi ibhendi ikhula, uSean Woolstenhulme weLifehouse (isiginci), uBilly Mohler (i-bass) kanye noNate Wood (izigubhu) bajoyina iThe Calling.
Lo mcimbi wenzeka ngo-2001. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, singasho ukuthi iqembu ekugcineni seligcwele ngokugcwele.
Ukwethulwa kwe-albhamu yokuqala ethi Camino Palmero kwenzeka ngo-2001. Ingoma ephambili yeqoqo bekuyingoma ethi Nomaphi Lapho Uzoya Khona. Ukwakhiwa kwenziwa ngesizini yokuqala yochungechunge oluthi "Izimfihlo ze-Smallville", kusiqephu esithi "Metamorphoses". Iqoqo lathengiswa ngokusakazwa kwamakhophi ayizigidi ezingu-5 futhi lathola isimo "segolide" e-United States of America.
Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, uWoolstenhulme walishiya leli qembu. Esikhundleni sakhe kwafakwa umculi omusha uDino Menegin. Kodwa ngo-2002 ofanayo, uMohler noWood bashiya iqembu.
Ngo-2003, uMohler noWood benza ukuphawula kwabo kokuqala ngemuva kokushiya iqembu. Laba baculi basole uBand, uKamin nabaphathi beqembu ngokukhwabanisa futhi bafuna imali yabo.
U-Mohler no-Wood bakhulume ngokuthenjiswa ingxenye yemali nenzuzo ohambweni lwabo lokuqala. I-Band kanye noKamin banikeze impendulo esemthethweni, bethi abaculi babengenalo ilungelo lokuthola izinzuzo ezivela kuhambo, njengoba lokhu bekungahlanganiswa nenkontileka.
Ukwethulwa kwe-albhamu yesibili yesitudiyo
Ngo-2004, i-discography yeqembu yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu entsha. Sikhuluma ngeqoqo Two. Izingoma ezishisa izikhotha zingathi: Impilo Yethu, Izinto Zizohamba Ngami kanye nanoma yini.
Ukweseka iqoqo elisha, abaculi bahambe uhambo olukhulu. Amakhonsathi aleli qembu abethandwa kakhulu futhi bekungasho lutho olubi.
Ukuhlukana Kobizo
Ngemva kohambo olude nolukhathazayo lokweseka iqoqo elisha futhi ngaphandle kokusekelwa ngelebula, i-Band ne-Kamin baqala ukuthuthuka ngezindlela ezihlukene. Ngokushesha kwacaca ukuthi iqembu lahlukana.
Ngo-2005, i-Band ne-Kamin yamemezela kubalandeli ukuthi bayiyekile imisebenzi yabo. Bathathe ikhefu. Abaculi banikeze imininingwane ngokuhlukana kweqembu ngemuva kwekhonsathi yokuvalelisa eTemecula (California). Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi u-Alex uhlanganise iqembu labaculi, futhi abavamile ukunikeza amakhonsathi ngaphansi kwegama lokudala elithi The Calling.
