Single I Bywater Call – Hold Me Down

This seven-piece powerhouse outfit proves with this astonishing display of joy, energy and camaraderie that they are without a doubt one of the most exciting bands of the moment.” – Bluestown Music

“A living, breathing testament to what happens when a band catches fire, led by a vocalist who doesn’t just perform but preaches the blues. Bywater Call isn’t following the tradition, they’re pushing it forward one electrical show at a time.” – Blues Matters

Reminiscent of classic soul, infused with modern influences such as Alabama Shakes and Amy Winehouse, the infectious song showcases the sultry, gritty power of lead singer Meghan Parnell’s vocals.

The song features the drums with a stylish and percussive steady high hat pulse influenced by James Gadson, punchy horn shots, and a gospel choir.

“When I first came up with the idea for ‘Hold Me Down’, I really wanted to mesh Bywater Call’s aesthetic with more of a 60’s soul sound,” comments guitarist Dave Barnes. “Then Meg came up with that first note, and the song took on a life of it’s own. It’s one of those rare tunes for us that came together surprisingly easily.”
