This week we’re discussing every album by Call Me Lightning. From Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Call Me Lightning was a manic indie band (closer to noise rock) made up of core members Nathan Liley on guitar/vocals and Shane Hochstetler on drums. The band was short-lived and there isn’t a whole lot of info on them, but they have a cult following and some insanely good tunes. If you’re a fan of early 00s indie and noise rock in any way, these guys are a must.

[Also, Faraquet was not from Wisconsin--they were from Washington DC and we just forgot to correct it.]

Closing track: “Be the Lightning” from The Trouble We’re In (2004)
