Yesterday, on Friday 11th July, Canadian roots, rock, and soul band Bywater Call released “Love The One You’re With,” their second single of 2025 and second official live release. The single is available to stream HERE.

The live track is taken from their forthcoming live album Sunshine released  on Friday 22nd August. The album is available to pre-order on CD and vinyl HERE.

“Love The One You’re With” is a dynamic, extended cover of the beloved Stephen Stills tune and a favourite of Bywater Call concert goers. The live take comes from one of the band’s two sold-out shows at the historic Rivoli in Toronto, Canada in December 2024.

“This song a great representation of our live show and the chemistry between all the band members,” says lead singer Meghan Parnell. “You really get to hear the power of the vocal and then the craftsmanship of the instrumentalists as I step away from the mic and really let them do their thing. No live version of this song is the same. Every time we perform it, it’s a journey.”

“Nothing approaches the absolute joy of watching this band from the crowded comfort of a noisy club. Meghan is without question up there with the all-time great vocalists!
One hell of a performance.” – R’N’R Magazine

“A musical experience that will stay with you forever. With expert craftsmanship, stylistic versatility, and an emotionality that gets under your skin. One of the strongest live bands around.” – JazzandRock.com

“You may not know what you’ll hear on any given night, but you are guaranteed to have more than a memorable experience and to be dazzled by some stellar musicianship.” – Great Dark Wonder

Sunshine is Bywater Call’s first live album. It features a mix of newly released music, including the cover of Stephen Stills’ “Love The One You’re With” and the funky new original title-track “Sunshine” (previously released as a single in May 2025), plus fan favourites “As If,” “Sign of Peace,” and “Everybody Knows” from 2024’s Shepherd album, and “Bring Me Down” taken from their 2019 self-titled debut album. The highly anticipated live album is an epic, energetic revelation for the uninitiated, and perfect snapshot as to why Bywater Call are winning new fans across the globe.

Songs feature extended jams, fiery solos, and haunting introductions from shows in Toronto, Canada, Woodstock, New York, USA and Newbury, UK.

The live album features the extraordinary talents of Dave Barnes (guitar, slide), Mike Meusel (bass), Bruce McCarthy (drums), John Kervin (keyboards), Julian Nalli (sax), and Stephen Dyte (trumpet). Together, the band command the innate ability to improvise, innovate and play off each other, while highlighting the gritty, dynamic, and emotive vocals of lead singer Meghan Parnell. It is a true reflection of the heart and sweat poured out on stage every night.

The live album was recorded and mixed by drummer Bruce McCarthy and mastered by Kristian Montano (Montano Mastering).

“SUNSHINE” ALBUM TRACK LISTING:

  1. Sunshine (4:39) – Recorded at Arlington Arts, Newbury, UK
  2. Bring Me Down (9:52) – Recorded at Colony, Woodstock, NY, USA
  3. As If (6:49) – Recorded at Colony, Woodstock, NY, USA

  5. Sign of Peace (6:31) – Recorded at The Rivoli, Toronto, Canada

Often transcending genres, Bywater Call is known for their dynamic, emotional live shows, featuring powerful vocals and exciting interplay between all band members.

In their August 2024 issue, Classic Rock Magazine made Bywater Call’s 2024 album Shepherd their “Blues Album of the Month”, and said it was “an inventive and uncommonly catchy record,” and added, “the sense of a band on the brink is unmistakable.” The album was also selected as the “Top Blues Album of the Year” in the magazine’s year-end round-up.

In November 2025, they will headline their third UK tour and play Planet Rock’s Planet Rockstock Festival in Wales on 27th November.

Living Colour’s VERNON REID Announces His Kaleidoscopic Opus “Hoodoo Telemetry”, Out October 3rd

The virtuosic talisman Vernon Reid has announced details of his new solo album Hoodoo Telemetry, which will be released on October 3, 2025 on Artone / The Players Club Records. To celebrate he has revealed the video for the first single, The Haunting, which you can watch HERE.

If you’ve followed the beats of his half-century career, you’ll know Vernon Reid as an artist who paints in every colour. Depending on the era you dive into and the album on your turntable, you’ll find the New York polymath pinballing between jazz, metal, punk, funk, electronica and hip-hop, cutting heads with collaborators as eclectic as Mick Jagger and Public Enemy, endlessly shedding his skin yet always speaking his truth.
 
Globally celebrated as a giant of electric guitar (he was recently hailed by Rolling Stone amongst the top 50 players of all-time), Reid’s Grammy Award-winning records with alt-rock trailblazers, Living Colour, still sound as fresh and fierce as when Cult Of Personality hijacked the Billboard chart in the late-’80s. But to take the pulse of the zeitgeist as he sees it – and hear his fearless musicality in microcosm – you need only drop the needle on his new solo album.

Hoodoo Telemetry,” considers the 66-year-old of this kaleidoscopic 14-track opus, “is like a piece of my all-over-the-place mind. It took me a while to start this record because I was thinking about what I wanted to do next, managing my time with all my other projects. I was also in different spaces with these songs: some are new, others are reclamations of material from a long time ago. But suddenly, I found the focus and it was very clear to me: I gotta do this now.”
 
The overdriven funk bassline and glistening soul of first single, The Haunting finds Reid tipping his hat to a fellow chameleon (“I’m a huge Prince fan and there’s some of who he was in that song’s DNA”), before the scratch ‘n’ glitch of the brass-driven Bronx Paradox salutes the New York neighbourhood’s greatest musical export. “I wrote that in tribute to DJ Logic,” he explains. “Everybody considered the Bronx a wasteland, a warzone. But with hip-hop, those kids created the final original music of the 20th century.”
 
Hoodoo Telemetry isn’t a linear piece, but a thrillingly tangled tapestry of genres, collaborators and material from different time periods. Its energy and chaos seems to reflect and challenge what Reid considers the “tumultuous” Living Colour, Reid’s best-known band burst into bloom on a New York live circuit that was more fluid than ever before or since. “We had an ecology of clubs to play at, from CBGBs to the Cat Club and the Ritz,” he recalls of the first steps of a solidified lineup featuring Corey Glover (vocals), Muzz Skillings (bass) and Will Calhoun (drums).

Carried by word of mouth, the tinderbox was already set to explode when the patronage of Mick Jagger sent the band over the top, the Rolling Stones singer manning the desk for their demos. “He worked on Glamour Boys and Which Way To America?” explains Reid, “and he was a great producer. He really coached Corey along. But it was so fundamentally weird that he entered our lives. I didn’t know where to put my hands.”
 
Seizing his opportunity, Reid threw everything on his mental jukebox at Living Colour’s deathless debut, 1988’s Vivid. “You had Broken Hearts on the same album as Cult Of Personality,” he points out of a tracklisting where anything could happen. “We might be playing metal one moment then writing a country song with hip-hop the next. Or Funny Vibe, which is like prog-folk informed by King Crimson.” 

Sailing to #6 on the US Billboard chart – and ultimately double-platinum status – Vivid proved adventurous music could still sell by the ton. The following year, a support on the Stones’ Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tour bumped their profile – and gave Reid a close-up glimpse at the rock ‘n’ roll super-league. “Backstage on that Stones tour they had all the parlour games – I remember Bill Wyman kicking my ass at ping-pong!”         
 
Alongside Living Colour’s six albums and counting, Reid has worn a thousand different hats since those breakout years, whether producing Grammy-nominated albums for the likes of Salif Keita, composing hit movie scores or lending his guitar skills to a who’s who including Janet Jackson, B.B. King, Tracy Chapman and Mariah Carey.
 
No doubt, it’s these competing demands that mean Reid’s solo career (which began with 1996’s Mistaken Identity) has lain dormant since 2004’s Known Unknown. “But with everything that’s been happening, suddenly I had a focus,” he says of the febrile context to Hoodoo Telemetry. “Y’know, the world is a ball on a pendulum. It swings. Right now, we’re living through unprecedented times, and not just in America.”
 
 In hard times, Hoodoo Telemetry doesn’t have the answers. But to play Vernon Reid’s breathtakingly ambitious new album is to hear every shade of humanity and question where we are headed next. “These songs are looking at the past through a different lens, then looking forward,” he concludes. “Like, ‘Where is this going and how are we getting there? Are we driving the bus or are we passengers in this self-driving vehicle into the future?’ That’s the space that Hoodoo Telemetry is really exploring…”

ANIMAL RAGE Drop Explosive New Single ‘Your Mouth Is Your Downfall’

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ANIMAL RAGE. Leave a comment

Mexico’s rising groove metal juggernaut Animal Rage has just unleashed their latest sonic assault, “Your Mouth Is Your Downfall”—a punishing anthem ripped straight from the heart of their upcoming full-length, Last Standing Man, arriving soon via Wormholedeath.

Built on groove-laden riffs, primal fury, and a warrior’s spirit, the track hits like a gauntlet thrown at the face of deception. This is a war cry for anyone who’s battled false promises, fake evolutions, and empty words. A brutal reminder: your words can be your weapon—or your ruin.

Video produced by: Volume Agency

About Animal Rage:

Forged in the chaos of 2020, Animal Rage emerged from Mexico with a genre-melding style they proudly dub “Fused Metal”—a high-voltage blend of groove, progressive, and heavy metal. Founders Dave Coral (guitar) and Abe Fënix (vocals) laid the groundwork, bringing in key collaborators including the legendary Aquiles Priester (W.A.S.P., Angra) on drums. In 2025, the lineup evolved with Amos Roux (guitar), Gabriel Richer (drums), and Abe Fenix (vocals), marking a bold new chapter for the band.

THE SPEAKER WARS Premiere Lyric Video ‘When The Moon Cries Wolf’

Texas-based rock band THE SPEAKER WARS, featuring legendary drummer Stan Lynch (formerly of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) and acclaimed singer-songwriter Jon Christopher Davis — has released a brand-new lyric video for “When The Moon Cries Wolf,” one of the standout tracks from the band’s recently released self-titled debut album, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

Blending heartfelt lyricism with a driving classic rock spirit, “When The Moon Cries Wolf” captures the band’s signature sound—equal parts seasoned craft and raw energy. The song began to take shape when Davis tossed out the evocative title during a writing session, and from that moment, the song had a life of its own.

Stan Lynch reflects on the track:

“‘When The Moon Cries Wolf’ is a rocker that had me goin’ from the moment JCD blurted out the title. It was a gas to record; it just kept getting stronger the more we played it. Jon sings the snot out of it, and once he had the vocal, the tune reminded me of Mad Dogs & Englishmen’s early records. It’s even better when we play it live.”

Order ‘The Speaker Wars’ HERE

‘The Speaker Wars’ Track List:

1. You Make Every Lie Come True
2. It Ain’t Easy
3. Taste Of Heaven
4. Never Ready To Go
5. The Forgiveness Tree
6. When The Moon Cries Wolf
7. Trader’s South
8. Leave Him
9. Sit With My Soul
10. I Wish You Peace

STAN LYNCH, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, long-time drummer and founding member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, announces today the formation of THE SPEAKER WARS. After two decades of recording and touring multiple albums with The Heartbreakers, STAN moved to the other side of the recording console and shifted his focus to production and songwriting. Over the years, STAN has written and produced hits for artists in multiple genres, including the Eagles, Don Henley, Tim McGraw, The Mavericks, Ringo Starr, The Byrds, Toto, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

While writing in Nashville, a publisher introduced STAN to Texas singer-songwriter, Jon Christopher Davis, who was gathering material for a solo record on a major label. After accumulating an album’s worth of songs, Jon abandoned working on a solo record and the two decided to start a band to perform the newly created material. Adding Jay Michael Smith on guitar, Brian Patterson on bass, Steve Ritter on percussion, and Jay Brown on keyboards, THE SPEAKER WARS was born.

THE SPEAKER WARS are:
Stan Lynch – Drums
Jon Christopher Davis – Vocals
Jay Michael Smith – Guitar
Brian Patterson – Bass
Steve Ritter – Percussion
Jay Brown – Keyboard

Kimmo shared: "Esa Kotilainen and I worked on this song some years ago, but it was left unfinished. Now it is completed as a tribute to our 40 years of musical madness together. ‘Aurora Nuclearis,’ featuring and in memory of keyboard player Esa Kotilainen, who is now playing on the cosmic plane." - Click image to watch the video
