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; they cite The Minutemen as one of their foremost influences. 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. In March 2007, they were featured in SPIN.
Their 4th LP, Human Hell, was released on vinyl-only record label 25 Diamonds on March 1, 2014.
