FESTIVALS are always great places to discover bands, and the act at the top of this week’s playlist is one we discovered at Wokingham Festival last summer.

Here is a chance to hear their new single, with fab lyrics.

Counterpointing is a song by Chumbawamba, a 1990s band that need little introduction. The diversity is fabulous.

As ever, 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).

OSP – Tun Up

One of our fave live performances last year was OSP at Wokingham Festival and they have just released this new single for 2023. It’s another good one with a brilliantly uplifting energetic track featuring excellent vocal performances.

As per their previous singles this Reading based collective have again created a single that makes you feel good with an infectious melody and positive lyrics.

This opens with ‘New vibes, good energy around me, I wanna pick fruit from the tree of life’ – They are certainly doing that and it’s wonderful – https://www.facebook.com/ospmusicuk

Chumbawamba – Timebomb

As well as promoting great gigs, Reading promoters Club Velocity/New Mind Promotions put on some very interesting musical events and one coming up is a Q&A with Dunstan Bruce of legendary anarchic rockers Chumbawamba with a showing of I Get Knocked Down, a film about the incredible story of the band.

That’s a good excuse to remind ourselves of this classic from their 1994 album, Anarchy – https://www.facebook.com/thatwasthenandthisisnow

Daviid B – Midnight Wine

If you enjoy jazzy/bluesy original and covers with guitar sax and flute, it’s well worth popping along to the Hope and Anchor in Wokingham this Friday, March 3, where you can see a live performance from Daviid B & Dinos.

Daviid has released a couple of singles already this year and here’s one of them which features a wonderful sax intro before a song which has a very cool blues club feel – https://www.instagram.com/daviidbmusic

BDD – Dream for the Future

This is from Songs for an Angel Vol 1 – Music for Eric Bouillette, a tribute album to the late guitarist. BDD is the alter ego of The Room bassist Andy Rowe – https://www.ftf-music.com/de/tributetoericbouillette/tributetoericbouillette.htm

Mark Harrison – Tribulation Time

Mark is a unique singer-songwriter, an excellent guitarist and a wonderful story teller and he will be bringing his distinctive style to Wokingham Music Club on Friday, March 10 – https://www.markharrisonrootsmusic.com/

Small Town Heroes – Only 18

Here’s a new single from this young Berkshire-based band and it’s a very good piece of melodic uplifting indie pop.

It was recorded in Generation Studio and features guest guitar from Jake Slack – https://bio.site/smalltownheroes

Dakorra – All Eyes to the Floor

Based in the Reading area, Dakorra (aka Kate Herridge), has established herself as a talented and dynamic performer and this features a catchy melody, driving rhythm, and emotive lyrics – https://www.facebook.com/dakorraband

Dennis Siggery & Neil Sadler – I Paid the Price

A classic blues voice and a brilliant guitarist come together on a new album, Testify – https://www.ericstreetband.com/
