Calls From Home from Little Rock, Ar modestly began forming at Williams Baptist College in northeast Arkansas under the name Cash Hall. It doesnt take a degree to figure out the origin of their first alias nor do you need to guess they began as just another campus worship band. In the beginning, the band had a very raw acoustic sound, but that wouldn't last for long.

Leading over 30,000 students in worship over their first two years, Cash Hall started to gain momentum while recording and releasing the independent album Facedown. I still get calls from friends in Little Rock saying that they just heard Sheltered on the radio says bassist Chuck Miller II about the bands first airplay.

Our second recording the Lessons Learned EP was the first attempt at moving from praise and worship to an original rock sound. It is a perfect picture of where we were in our songwriting right in the middle of worship and rock. -Chuck Miller(Bassist)

Further abandoning the coffee shop timbre, the group next recorded a live performance EP. It was more than just a stepping stone. It was a project that summoned our will to be a rock band and reach that specific group of kids with the Gospel. - Stuart Springer (Vocalist/Guitarist)

After several lineup changes, the band felt the need to start fresh with a new name that reflected the new band, and so, Calls From Home was born. With drummer Ryan Malone and vocalist/guitarist Stuart Springer on board, the group came together to write and record their first full-length album, "We Could Keep Silent". This was the band's first experience working with producer Jason Burkum. (Audio Adrenaline, Kids in the Way)

The thunderous intro to Hold On, their first national single, set the tone for the entire album and the group sold thousands of copies of their debut independent release.

Currently, after undergoing yet another lineup change, the group is writing material for their next release which will go back to their roots to include some original worship songs. Look for their next release in Fall of 2008!
