Release Notes:
--------
The Calling, consisting of Alex Band and Aaron Komin, broke on to the scene in
2001 with their hit single, "Wherever You Will Go." That song, which had
constant radio airplay that year, went on to later be named the #1 Adult Pop
Song of the Decade by Billboard magazine. The album from which it was taken,
"Camino Palmero," was certified Gold in the US and sold over 5 million copies
worldwide. The bands next effort, "Two," was less successful commercially. Band
member Aaron Komin decided to break away and do his own thing while Alex toured
the record and because of this, the band went on an 'indefinite hiatus' in 2005.
With their friendship, and band, a thing of the past, Alex decided to go solo.
He released the five-song  "Alex Band EP" in 2008 on his website and finished
his full length debut, "We've All Been Here" late in that year. After many
delays, the record is set to see the light of day. Let me be the first to say
that fans of The Calling will feel very at home. With that being said, it's also
a safe bet that fans of soft, alternative, adult rock, will also discover a new
gem if they have never heard of the band. The first single from the album,
"Tonight," is the summer anthem that begs for radio play. It's the type of song
that you don't mind being overplayed on the radio because every time you hear it
a big grin hits your face, begging you to sing along. Alex sings, "Tonight, I
got you where I want you/Close so I can tell you anything/You're the song that I
sing./Tonight, let the music take us over/We'll fall in to forever on this
ride/Cuz I've got you where I want you/Tonight." The song is every bit as catchy
as "Wherever You Will Go" and more mature in sound and musical style. If it
doesn't receive substantial airplay then there is something wrong with the suits
who run the radio stations. What's interesting about this album is that Alex
isn't afraid to experiement. On the album's last track, "Without You," we hear a
few bars worth of a bagpipe at the beginning. It's subtle, and not overly in
your face, but it fits the mood of the track nicely. The chorus swoons and
builds to something that I would compare to The Callings "Our Lives". Back in
2008, Alex released a demo of a song called "Please" on his Myspace page. I was
lucky enough to hear the demo of that song and all I can say is the mastered
version blows it out of the water. The song begs the listener to pay attention
to the words and how it's the little things that matter in love, life and every
thing in between. The highlight of the record in my opinion is the simple, yet
breathtaking track, "Euphoria." This song is pure joy. There simply isn't any
other way to describe it. Alex sings, "You gotta give love to get love." I've
never heard a more truthful sentiment. With all the great things about this
album, and let me say it, there are a lot of great things about this album,
there are, like with The Calling albums, a few duds. Skippable tracks, used for
filler in my opinion, include the title track, "We've All Been There", "Never
Let You Go" and "What Is Love." With those few throwaway tracks aside, this
record will prove to be the soundtrack to your summer.
