Bywater Call - Broken Souvenirs EP (2026)

Toronto-based Southern Rock & Soul

“There may be quite a number of bands these days trying to mine this particular rock-blues-soul furrow, but Bywater Call are one of the best.”
- Steve Pilkington, Velvet Thunde. More than anything, Broken Souvenirs confirms that Bywater Call are at our service to make emotion feel tangible. The Toronto seven-piece capture their signature mix of Southern soul, blues, and roots rock into eleven warm, richly arranged songs where soaring horns, empathetic guitars, and Meghan Parnell’s commanding voice carry every note and word with conviction.

The band never loses sight of the human stories at its core; dedicated to two cherished lives lost, the album quietly reflects on grief, resilience and memory without becoming weighed down by them. Between the significance of heartbreak and the pull of hope lies the real magic: music performed with such honesty that it becomes both a refuge and a release.
