Call Me Lightning is an indie rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The band's name is taken from the 1968 song "Call Me Lightning" by The Who;[1] they cite Minutemen as one of their foremost influences.[2] The group released its first album, The Trouble We're In, on Revelation Records in 2004. In 2007, it followed with a second full-length, Soft Skeletons, on Frenchkiss Records. This album was recorded at Steve Albini's Chicago studio, Electrical Audio. The band has received significant press coverage for both albums.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] In March 2007, they were featured in SPIN.[10]

Their fourth LP, Human Hell, was released on vinyl-only record label 25 Diamonds on March 1, 2014.
