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]
