The Calling are one of the post-grunge bands who must have been in a coma or living in Outer Siberia when Nirvana, Mudhoney et al wreaked their Seattle-based havoc in the early '90s. With songs called things like 'Wherever You Will Go' and 'Could It Be Any Harder', you can probably tell these boys weren't weeping over the death of the mastermind behind In Utero. Their super-polished, utterly soulless debut Camino Palmero was thrust upon an unfortunate world in 2001. Tom Edwards
