About
"They are one of those bands that, after seeing and hearing them, makes you think in that moment they are the best in the world."
— Popular 1 (Spain) · Fernando Tanxencias · 8/10
The Midnight Calls are a band from Chicago that plays classic-style Rock and Roll with 70s and southern rock touches. Although they are an American group, they have a singer from Spain, Taran de Pablos, who emigrated to the Windy City more than two decades ago. Alongside him are guitarists Adam Arling (The Last Vegas, Urge Overkill, Warrior Soul) and Jake Pallisard (Donnie Vie), bassist Sean Barnes, and drummer Chuck Harling.
Their music is strongly influenced by the Blues and by bands like Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, and AC/DC. With catchy melodies and guitars turned up to 11 as the main ingredients, The Midnight Calls' musical recipe doesn't try to surprise us but instead brings us those recognizable flavors of American Blues Rock served with the elegance and expertise expected of seasoned musicians who have spent half their lives on the road on stages in America and Europe.
Since their formation in 2022, the band has been playing regularly, sharing the stage with bands like Living Colour, LA Guns, Jackyl, The Pat Travers Band, Enuff Z'Nuff, Sponge, Supersuckers, The Steepwater Band, Faster Pussycat, Blacktop Mojo, Cody Parks and The Dirty South and John Corabi among others.
The Midnight Calls have already released five singles: "Whaddya," "Coming Up Roses," "So Cold," "Since I've Been Thinking" and their latest track, "Objectophilia" — the lead single off their upcoming album DOS to be released in spring 2026. The new album has been mixed and mastered by Mike Hagler (Wilco, The Tossers, Waco Brothers) at Kingsize Sound Labs in Chicago.
