An entity consisting of an Arron, two Craigs and a Philip; Callel grew up in the same area of Granton in Edinburgh, went to the same school, caught the same nits, played in the same football team and now perform in the same band.

Callel have supported Paolo Nutini, Rooney, (selected to play by the NME ), The Bluetones, Two Door Cinema Club,The Hip Parade, The Holloways and Asobi Seksu.

Callel's first album 'Body Discovery' will be released in November 2009 on Aardvark Records.

The band plan to continue up the musical ladder until they can be sustained solely by the income made from their popular Callel-branded coasters (perfect for your cup of tea).

"...their hour-long set is over all too quickly. Thankfully, Callel don't appear to want to sound like every other indie/rock band around at the moment. It's a blessing for anyone listening, that much is certain."

"...a well of natural chemistry and melodic prowess."
