Caedmon 's Call are an American rock band.

Style

The music from Caedmon 's Call is called Contemporary Christian. Both influences from the folk rock genre and from the alternative rock can be seen. The lyrics of their songs lean heavily on the Christian faith. Thus, their songs tell both of fictional stories ( 'Bus Driver' ) as well as real experiences that have been processed in the songs ( ' center aisle '). Both songs were written by Derek Webb ( see below).
