Biography
 

Call is a Pop Rock band formed in 1994 by Danish J. Khan, Khurram J. Khan, Xulfi and Omer Pervaiz. They started out by providing background music for mime performances at NCA, Lahore under the name Undrap Nexus. Undrap Nexus' line-up was with Xulfi on the keyboard, Omer Pervaiz on the guitar and Danish Jabbar Khan on vocals. Soon, Xulfi and Danish Jabbar Khan, Khurram Jabbar Khan bought himself a drumkit and Call was officially formed. Call still needed a bassist and recruited Shahzad Hameed.

On October 20, 2001, Danish Jabbar Khan, the band’s vocalist and lyricist, performed for the last time with the band at a rock festival on his birthday. Once the band’s primary lyricist and vocalist was gone, the members of the band got busy with other things. Khurram Jabbar Khan moved to the United States, Xulfi concentrated on his band Paradigm (which later became EP) while Ahsan and Faisal moved on to fulfill family obligations.

In September 2002, Khurram Jabbar Khan, being a core member, returned from the United States to revive Call. Khurram and Xulfi got together and auditioned for new band members and decided that this would be an urdu project. They found Junaid’s voice to befitting for the band’s musical direction and recruited him as the band’s vocalist. Soon Sunny was chosen to be on lead guitar, Usman Nasir on rhythms and Sultan Raja (Xulfi’s student) on bass. Khurram joined in on drums.

The band’s first single, Nishaan was released through various Pakistani music websites and gained widespread fame. It went on to top the charts and also won the band its first award: Best Rock Song at the Band Baja Awards 2003. Indus Music made a live video of the song which was to be exclusively aired on the channel itself. Call then came up with a second single titled Pukaar, which came with a promotional video directed by Xulfi, eventually won the Indus Music Award for the Best Alternative Rock Song. The band then released an unplugged song titled Kaash.

Call started recording their debut album, Jilawatan. The album was finally released in November 2005 and immediately topped the Vibes charts and stayed there for a lengthy amount of time. The album release was accompanied by a single titled Sab Bhula Kai. A video was released with the single and was directed by Sohail Javed. The single topped the charts and fared extremely well.

A while later two more singles were released, both of which were accompanied by videos. The singles, titled Kuch Naheen and Bichar Kai Bhee, both topped the charts.

In early 2007, Call released a song named Laree Chotee for the Bollywood flick titled "Ek Chalis Ki Last Local" and a video followed the audio release.The song was Remixed & Arranged by DJ Suketu & Aks. Prior to the 2007 Cricket World Cup, Call recorded and made a video for a song entitled "Hum Se Hai Yeh Zamaana". This was to be the official song for the Pakistan Cricket team during the tournament. However due to the team's early World Cup exit, the song never was released and had instead, been held back for a future release. However on September 20th, Call released the music video and put it up for download on their official website.

Currently Call are riding the highs of fortune on the back of their three smash hit singles; 'Ho Jaane De', 'Yeh Pal' and 'Dhadke Jiya' - the latter two being tapped in to by Bollywood as soundtracks for two different movies. Xulfi graces the album with the romantic number, ‘Dhadke Jiya’, that may take some getting used to since it is much different from the band's popular genre of music - punk/metal/alt. rock. It can also be seen as the band's attempt to go more mainstream as far as the South Asian region is concerned. ‘Dhadke Jiya’ doesn’t offer the same high as ‘Laree Chooti’ (soundtrack to yet another Bollywood flick 'Ek Chaalis Ki Last Local') or ‘Yeh Pal’ (snapped up by the movie, 'Aasma') though the arrangement holds its own with an orchestral feel in the chorus, as opposed to relying on strumming the chords throughout the song.
