Bywater Call reveals “No One Else”
Canadian roots, rock, and soul band Bywater Call has announced the release of its new single “No One Else” along with details for the band’s upcoming fourth studio album Broken Souvenirs, which is set for release on July 29.
The new single is available now on streaming platforms, while the official music video has also been released. According to the band, “No One Else” was inspired by artists including Black Pumas, Alabama Shakes, Baby Huey, and Rage Against the Machine. The track blends retro soul influences with layered keyboards, horns, and a driving rhythm section.
“This song is a reflection of how, in the current world of manipulation and misinformation, we continue to allow deceitfulness to cause harm,” said Bywater Call guitarist Dave Barnes. “In the end, we have the strength within to defeat evil and take back our own power. If we don’t, there is no one else to blame but ourselves.”
The song was recorded at Palace Studios in Toronto, mixed by Patric McGroarty, and mastered by Kristian Montano of Montano Mastering.
The music video for “No One Else” was choreographed and directed by Chelsea Preston and filmed by Badee Mirkham. The band said the video uses fire imagery and paper masks as symbols reflecting political and cultural manipulation.
Bywater Call said the new album Broken Souvenirs features 11 original songs and continues the group’s approach of blending soul, blues, rock, R&B, and roots influences. The album draws inspiration from artists including Amy Winehouse, Shakey Graves, and The Black Crowes.
The band has continued to build momentum internationally in recent years. Earlier in 2026, Bywater Call received its third nomination for International Act of the Year at the UK Blues Awards following previous nominations in 2024 and 2025.
Bywater Call will support the release of Broken Souvenirs with an extensive run of tour dates across Europe, the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
