Award-Winning Rock Legends The Calling Reschedule Tour Dates New Single “DUST”

May 7, 2026

Award-winning rock legends The Calling will release their new single titled “DUST,” this July via TLG|ROCK, distributed by Virgin Music Group. Alongside the announcement, the band has also rescheduled select early dates on the “Before The World Turns To Dust Tour,” aligning the run with the upcoming single release.

The band is also celebrating a major milestone, the 25th Anniversary of their mega-hit “Wherever You Will Go,” as well as their multi-platinum breakthrough album Camino Palmero, a record that helped define an era of radio rock and remains a staple of early 2000s alternative culture.

"With our record label pushing back the release of our new single 'Dust', we have decided it's best to move some of our US tour dates to coincide with that release. We're looking so forward to celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the release of 'Wherever You Will Go' and sharing our new music with you all live on tour soon! All the love..." says Alex Band.

Formed in 1999, The Calling quickly ascended the ranks of radio rock with their distinctive blend of catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Their debut album Camino Palmero sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and went Platinum in the U.S. and 50+ countries, catapulting the teen rockers to international fame with hits like "Wherever You Will Go" and "Adrienne," while touting 7 number one singles worldwide.

After a 20-year hiatus, The Calling returns to the forefront of the music scene, poised to captivate listeners once again. With a renewed sense of purpose and creativity, the band is set to unveil their long-awaited new music, promising a sonic journey that will resonate deeply with both loyal fans and newcomers alike. Driven by the powerful, distinct vocals of Alex Band and the masterful instrumentation of guitarist Daniel Damico and Grammy-nominated bassist Dom Liberati, The Calling's comeback is nothing short of extraordinary. Each note and lyric carry the weight of two decades of growth and experience, resulting in a musical tapestry that is both timeless and contemporary.

SINOPTIK Release Music Video for New Single "The Call"

May 23, 2021

New Album 'The Calling' Out June 11th - PRE-ORDER

Ukrainian Psychedelic Prog-Rockers SINOPTIK have launched the pre-order for their highly anticipated new album 'The Calling', as well as releasing their fourth single from the record, titled "The Call". Filmed at the "Museum of Cosmonautics dedicated to Sergei Korolev" in the city of Zhitomir, Ukraine, "The Call" clocks in at over 9 minutes, and serves as proof that Sinoptik are not just here to rock, but also have a message in their music.

Sinoptik's new album 'The Calling' will be released on June 11th, 2021 via OneRPMand is now available for pre-order HERE.

Speaking on the themes lyrically and visually in the new video, the band shares: "'The Call', as well as the album title 'The Calling', is dedicated to the one who calls and to the one who hears the call. To the ones who sacrificed everything for their dreams and hopes, and proved with their work and minds that there are no boundaries and that anything is possible. This song is about the trueness and belief that continues to create peace and

saving humanity."

Vocalist/guitarist Dmitriy Afanasiev also remarks about the location where the video was filmed: "It took us a long time to figure out how to maximize the conceptual depth of the song this long without involving Netflix. We decided to focus on the places nearby and truly deserve the iconic status. In this case, such a place is the 'Museum of Cosmonautics dedicated to Sergei Korolev'. Space exploration is an important part of our country's culture, and we believe that this museum was the perfect place to remind the whole world where human space exploration began. People have stopped looking into the night sky, they've stopped dreaming ... and we want to remind them that this is vital for our civilization to move forward."

Working hand in hand with The Museum of Cosmonautics, the band decided to release the video for "The Call" on International Museum Day to amplify the importance of Art and Science working together and promote cultural development in the Ukraine well as worldwide.

SINOPTIK Drop New Single "Sell God's Number"

April 4, 2021

Band Announces New Album 'The Calling' - Out June 11th

WHAT THE MEDIA SAYS ABOUT SINOPTIK

"I like the fact they've got a keyboard effect that YES would have used in the '70s, but made it sound really contemporary. So YES sound effects meet contemporary rock"

Wyatt Wendels - Planet Rock Radio

“This is your best bet… well-produced, & I can’t help but think ”Jimi Hendrix Experience”, but with a 21st Century DYNAMO vibe.”

Dick Metcalf - Contemporary Fusion Reviews

“Sounds a bit like the Chemical Brothers covering a movement from Pink Floyd‘s Echoes.”

Tim Thornton - Huffington Post

Ukrainian Occult-Rock trio SINOPTIK continues to march toward the release of their new full-length album, and the next mile marker on said journey has arrived with the band's new single "Sell God's Number". In addition to the new single, Sinoptik have announced a release date of June 11th, 2021 for the group's new studio album 'The Calling'.

The video for Sell God's Number was filmed at the Korostyshev Boarding School in Ukraine, where Sinoptik were invited and welcomed with a unique opportunity to inspire the children with their music, but they were the ones left feeling truly inspired.

Frontman Dmitry Afanasiev spoke about how the video and the collaboration between Sinoptik and the boarding school came to be.

"In December 2020 a volunteer from the Korostyshev Boarding School got in contact with me. He asked if we as a band could come and visit the kids and spend some time with them. In total there are 100 children who attend the school and 50 of them live there permanently because they have no parents. All of the kids have a variety of mental or physical disabilities, and some of them are victims of domestic violence. We wanted to show their everyday life and draw attention to this problem so we thought it would be a good idea to raise awareness by filming the experience.

We came to this school and had a real party with live music for these kids. We brought some presents for them, had lunch together and played games outside. We had a filming plan, but the kids actually made it even better with their actions and energy. I hope that all the children will remember this day for the rest of their lives.

These children are one on one with their battles, incomparable with petty everyday troubles of other people. Each such child is a real superhero, because day by day they fight and they win."

Sinoptik have stated that the new single "Sell God's Number" is also a song about freedom of choice...

"This song is about choices, and quite often we don’t appreciate that we actually have the possibility to choose. We frequently make choices recklessly and after choosing, go towards the goal just to abandon it as soon as obstacles arise. Every time you make a choice or leave your path, remember the people who did not have a choice from the very beginning, but still go all the way. "

The city of Kiev has been seen to produce some notable musical exports of late, with bands like Jinjer and Stoned Jesus leading the charge. Since 2014 Sinoptik were forced to move from their war-torn city of Donetsk to Kiev, and their experiences of being treated like second class citizens despite Ukraine being their native home has now seen them throw their hat in the ring as a band with a story to tell and music to be heard.

Fusing together 1970's occult rock influences with huge stadium rock production - Ukrainian Power Rock trio Sinoptik manages to pay homage to the classic era of rock bands whilst injecting a contemporary edge that makes their songs truly unforgettable, but also unmistakably Sinoptik.

Pre-order for Sinoptik's studio album 'The Calling' will be revealed in due course, but the artwork has now been revealed.

Sinoptik's previous singles "Black Soul Man" and "Apple Tree" will also be featured on 'The Calling'.

Dmitriy Afanasiev says this about the meaning behind "Black Soul Man".

"Music is a tool, which should have a clear message - to change the world for the better. 'It’s your time to change the fate' is our main message in this song, as each of us can change his or her own destiny. And if we are united all together we have the power to alter the fate of humanity and the world. We all can change and make our planet a better place by becoming kinder to each other, more understanding and tolerant. We need to build a new future now. Now is the time for us to unite, but most of the people don’t seem to comprehend that."

The trio, who were coined as 'The World's Best Rock Band' by the Berlin Global Battle of the Bands event in 2016 - has also seen performing at Kiev's 80k capacity stadium and supporting acts such as Uriah Heep, Jinjer, and more.

Lead singer Dmitriy Afanasiev says this about "Apple Tree"

"Sparks of goodness from our childhood often become the main triggers for our inner transformations - that is the main message of the Apple Tree song. Most people forget about the dreams they had in childhood and adolescence. The bottom line is – we all build our own reality, but too often we forget about it. We also forget what the real values in our life are: families, friends, and simple joys. We want to remind everyone about this and pull out the forgotten sweet childhood memories. So that each person who has gone astray can believe in himself again."
