Review By Darren McIntyre

Bywater Call are 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 famed German TV Show Pockpalast. They have performed on Joe Bonamassa’s Keeping The Blues Alive cruise, Meghan & Dave opened for Southern California Rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck on their sold out European Tour.

The band brought us  their first new release of 2024 in the form of Holler and follow that with  As If, today they follow that with this absolute monster Everybody Knows from their soon to be released new album Shepherd due to drop on August 9th, please  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.

Everybody Knows – A cool sludgy guitar groove flows from the opening salvo as Meghan’s colossal vocals bring this killer track to life with a sweet cool backing vocal that really gives this arrangement a blues soul vibe. The killer keys are littered throughout this foot stomping monster as the rhythm section kicks in the doors with a pounding snare drum beat that lets the cymbal crashes take this track to another level, the tempo changes pace for a bit as a cool bass kick lets the track breathe and let the saxophone notes give this track a nasty cool groove that just lets us know that this band are the real deal as they deliver another show stopping blues tinged groove masterpiece that is just building and building with every rich, cool note that flows effortlessly through this monster composition. The tone is rich, smooth with a real kick that is delivered with precision as Meghan and the boys just kick it up a notch or two for sure, the band are just bubbling under the surface as this track unleashes a cool funky beat that is smothered in delicious vocals that are perfectly complimented by a stellar band that is at the top of their game for sure.
