We all like the rush we get when we discover someone new, all those neuro chemicals firing off in our noggins, giving us that adrenaline rush. Can’t be beaten.

And here it is with Rila’s Edge, a fabulous new band that packed out a Wokingham pub when they played there the other week. They’re heading up our playlist this week, and you’ll love them.

The RaW Sounds Today playlist is 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 an eclectic mix of stuff 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/rawsoundstoday and 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.
