Review By Darren McIntyre
Bywater Call is a powerhouse 7-piece southern soul, roots rock band from Toronto, Canada. In 2023 the band played 96 shows in 10 countries, 89 cities, 19 US States & 3 Canadian Provinces and performed a live stream for the famed German TV Show Pockpalast. They have performed on Joe Bonamassa’s Keeping The Blues Alive cruise, and Meghan & Dave opened for Southern California Rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck. Today sees their first new release of 2024 in the form of Holler which I will be reviewing for you today, settle in and grab a cold one as I take us on the journey with this celebrated Southern Soul, Roots Rock outfit from Toronto, Canada.
Holler – We get sweet guitar picks flowing from the outset as the mesmerising vocals come flooding into this foot-stomping blues explosion as Meghan brings the blues to this colossal new offering. The bass kicks are powerful and bring the swagger as this fantastic beast makes itself known to us as sweet slide guitar licks shudder through this awesome new offering. The bassline is handing us a deep full-on funk groove that works so well in this gritty southern blues composition, the towering vocals are erupting with sheer power as they steer this incredible new track on the road as the band comes together and deliver a cool funk-laden track that has depth, swagger, tone and colossal tones that really grab your attention. The soaring vocals stop you in your tracks and let us feel the intense groove oozing from every musician as they deliver a real shot in the arm track that leaves us wanting more from this epic 7 piece outfit from Toronto, Canada. We have epic Tenor Sax & Trumpet notes littered throughout this fantastic composition that just sweeten the track as it comes screaming towards us.
