History[]

Call It Off formed in Eindhoven, Netherlands in 2013. Adrian DeLange was about to go on tour with another band, but their guitarist was unable go. Having been friends with Maurice Bolier for a long time, DeLange asked Bolier to go on the tour as a stand-in. While on the tour, the two befriended the tour manager, Lesley Klaverdijk, and after hanging out many time, the three discussed the idea of starting a band. After the tour ended, they went ahead with the plan and named their band Call It Off. As for a drummer, Bolier was going to school at the time with Sergei Christian and asked him to be their drummer, to which he said yes. [1]

On 20 September 2013 Call It Off released their EP, Lovers, while signed to White Russian Records, and contained five songs. A second EP would follow on 12 March 2014, which was titled Liars, and contained five new songs. About a year later, the band combined the two EPs into their debut album, Lovers & Liars, and also added two new songs. The final release by the band under White Russian Records was the single, "Anesthesia", which was released on 12 October 2015.

In March 2016, Call It Off had planned to make another release, but they held back on the release, due to making a deal to be signed with Sony Music. The band announced that they made this deal on 21 April 2016.[2] The previously cancelled single, Abandoned, was then released on 26 August 2016. On 2 December 2016 the band announced their second album, Abandoned, alongside the new single, "Death or Glory". Before the release of the new album, the band also released the single, "Scream Your Heart Out", on 6 January 2017. The album released on 20 January 2017, followed by a tour later that year that went from 2 November 2017 to 23 December 2017.

Right now they are independent, and have released 3 singles since the 2017 album, "Young" (2018), "Maybe I Don't Wanna Know" (2019), and "Every Little Thing" (2019).
