Happy new listening. For our first playlist of 2023, we’ve got 10 brand-new tracks for you to listen to.

Each one has a connection to the area, and means we start the year on a musical high.

We’re on a mission to champion and showcase great music from acts that have a connection to Reading and Wokingham (that’s the RaW in our Sounds Today name).

It’s a mixture that will help you discover something new. All you have to do is find it on Spotify.

To hear this week’s selection, simply head to https://bit.ly/rawsoundstodayand enjoy the music.

There is also a Facebook page and group chat that bands and music fans can tap into. You can search for RaW Sounds Today and it will come up.

What is Mediation?

Adomania – I Always Seem to Break Something (At The Party)

They released their debut single, Heavy Rain, last year, and it made number six in our top 20 of the year.

Here’s their second single and it’s another good one with strong vocals, interesting lyrics and a melody that sticks in your head.

We look forward to seeing how this band develops. They’ve certainly started impressively – https://www.facebook.com/AdomaniaBand/

Marisa And The Moths – Pedestal

This Reading band haven’t been in our playlist before and judging by this song, it’s about time they were.

It’s the band’s latest single and it’s an alternative rock anthem with powerful vocals. They will be live at Reading’s Purple Turtle on Janiary 29, as part of a UK tour to support their forthcoming Damned If I Do EP release – https://www.marisaandthemoths.com/

That Joe Payne – Dry January

Joe delivered a great performance when he visited the area to perform at Wokingham Festival.

This song was included on Joe’s Christmas album, Ding Dong, but if you are trying to get through the month I’m sure you will be able to relate to it now – https://www.thatjoepayne.com/

Phantom Booth – Falling Asleep On Her Dreams

Following their energetic last single, ’Apparatus, this talented three-piece show another side to their artistic talents with this new single. It’s a melancholic, but wonderful, orchestral ballad – https://linktr.ee/phantombooth

Darcy Hope – Landslide

Darcy is a singer-songwriter from Fleet who writes and performs music with a mellow country pop feel. In November she released this beautiful version of the Fleetwood Mac classic and she will be live as support to Tom Webber at his Club Velocity show at Rising Sun Arts Centre on February 4 – https://darceyhope.com/

Dandy Man – Annie Bonnie

Reading-based alt indie outfit Dandy Man released their debut album, Something I Have To Say, last month, and this is the uplifting opening track. Check out the video which was filmed at Pyramid Studios – https://dandymanmusic.com/

Selina and the Howlin Dogs – Who’s That Girl?

They were number three in our Top 20 of 2022, and they released this new single last month which features their trademark blues-rock sound combined with Selina’s distinctive vocals – https://www.selinaandthehowlindogs.com/

Jessie Smith – WKD

His voice is so good that he has been heard singing in the band on Strictly Come Dancing and now Jessie, who performed in his hometown of Reading at Third Lung’s Sub89 show, has released his debut solo single – https://www.jessesmithuk.com/

Papa Truck – Gunpoint (Reloaded)

Papa Truck performed a great set at Wokingham Festival last summer and they recently released this new version of a song from their By Your Side album – https://www.facebook.com/papatruck

Phil Royal – Kiss
