Call Me Lightning is an American indie rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. The band's name is taken from the 1968 song "Call Me Lightning" by The Who.[1] The band cites Minutemen as one of its foremost influences.[2] The group released its first album, The Trouble We're In, on Revelation Records in 2004. In 2007, it released a second album, Soft Skeletons, on Frenchkiss Records. This was recorded at Steve Albini's Chicago studio, Electrical Audio. The band has received significant press coverage for both albums.[3] In March 2007, the band was featured in Spin.[4]

Their fourth LP, Human Hell, was released on the vinyl-only record label 25 Diamonds on March 1, 2014.
