In the summer of 2010 Geoff Thompson (bass and vocals) and Trevor Lux (guitar and vocals) decided to give it one last go in the Manitoba music scene.  Both had played in multiple local bands and tasted small amounts of success, but neither felt that they were making the kind of music that was residing in their hearts.  Committed to keeping it simple and maintaining a focused approach to song writing, they set off to find a drummer that could round out their sound.  It took until the following year for them to find the right fit in Rodrigo Ramirez who graciously stepped in and complimented the new material with his own flair and energy.  With the 3 piece line up cemented, Callida (which means to be characterized by intense emotion) began work on their first album right away and playing shows whenever they could.

Throughout the next year, the trio began self-recording all the material they could and after 12 months of hard work they were delivered the biggest challenge of their musical careers.  A computer malfunction left them with a year’s worth of work lost and the daunting task of starting over again from the beginning.  However, from the ashes of that disaster the band emerged more committed than ever and set off on the aggressive path of starting over.  The result is their first EP release “Sedulity”which exemplifies the hard work and integrity necessary to overcome such a set back.  With a summer 2014 release date set, the band now turns their attention to sharing their lyrically driven, prairie inspired hard rock with the world and awaiting the next step in their musical career.
