De naam van de band doet enkele belletjes rinkelen, al heb ik nog nooit iets van hen gepost. Hun songs zullen dus om één of andere reden niet zijn doorgedrongen bij me. Deze keer is het wel raak met de barnstomper Holler. Ik hou van het rustige begin, de sfeer, de sound van de instrumenten én de zang. Naar het einde toe krijgen we dan de volle lading en wordt Holler een erg leuke swamp blues rocker.
Tijd dus om toch eens terug te grijpen naar de twee eerder verschenen singles en ... ook die bevallen me wel. Geen idee dus waarom ik ze niet eerder heb opgenomen.
Een nieuw album komt er deze zomer aan.

“Lyrically and musically, Holler embodies seedy motel rooms, dirty little secrets, and a woman who knows what she wants, unashamedly and without apology,” says Bywater Call’s lead singer, Meghan Parnell. “The song embraces uninhibited passion.”
From guitarist Dave Barnes’ haunting first notes on resonator guitar, alongside Meghan’s low-fi, high-quality serenade, all the way through to the climax, this song is an infectious blend of catchy melodies, pulsating beats, and powerful, soaring vocals.
Holler was recorded and mixed by Bywater drummer Bruce McCarthy at his studio. The BeatFarm in Toronto, Canada. The new single follows the 2023 releases of singles Sweet Maria and For All We Know, which received rave reviews from UK, Europe, and North America.
Sweet Maria, an uplifting New Orleans romp, and For All We Know, a rootsy hymn of redemption and self-recognition, along with Holler will appear on Bywater Call’s highly anticipated forthcoming third studio album, set to be released worldwide Summer 2024.
Often transcending genres, Bywater Call is known for their dynamic, emotional live shows, featuring powerful vocals and exciting interplay between all band members.
Bywater Call’s music is an exploration of life’s highs and lows. From intimate ballads that lay bare the complexities of human emotion to electrifying anthems that demand to be played at full volume. Their catalogue is a journey through human experience, incorporating influences from The Band, The Wood Brothers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Otis Redding, Little Feat, Sly and the Family Stone, among others.
