Call Out
Call Out is a song by Feeder, released as the group's first single from their seventh album Renegades in 2010. The single was given no airplay attention with the music video only available to see on the band's website for a limited time and on YouTube. At first the single was going to be released on a CD format, but due to a lack of interest in the single from the media the CD format was cancelled with the track then given away free online as a download, this was then followed by the release of the single on 1,000 limited pressings on the 7" vinyl format. The b-side "Fallen", appears as an instrumental while the league table is shown on Match of the Day and on the special edition of Renegades.
