Call To Mind, based in Glasgow since 2007, have supported the likes of Guillemots, Brakes, The Crimea, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Twighlight Sad, Metric, The Go! Team, Klaxons, The Charlatans, Frightened Rabbit, The Waterboys & Kaiser Chiefs. They have opened the main stage at Rockness Festival, played at T in the Park, Connect, Iceland Airwaves, Wickerman Festival and the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival since forming.
"Call To Mind are an intriguing prospect from the Scottish Highlands who come prefitted with the melancholic grandeur of Elbow and the epic swagger of Doves. A tempting description I’ll think you’ll agree, and ‘Running With Scissors’ showcases enough atmospheric genius to fix the ozone layer. Martin Ross’s vocals are startling, at first he sounds slightly hoarse but when the tempo is raised he reaches parts that few can come near. Call To Mind played the Iceland Airwaves Music Festival last year in what must have been the perfect collision of humanity and the natural environment. Platitudes were invented for bands like this."

"They are devoid of the over-styled, fuck-you arrogance and sassy, sexed-up swagger which defines so many of today's legions. Rather, their sound smoulders with the narcotic burn of a brooding, progressive sound - of men losing themselves in the midst of their music. Tonight was an opportunity to witness some serious sounds, which, from the halcyon spin of 'Energy + Blast' to the epic exaltations of 'Hole in the Heart', they squarely deliver. Sonically virulent, ambitious and at times leveling, Call to Mind are the bastion of a band with a single-minded vision." (The Skinny - live review)
