IT’S BACK to the future this week with the RaW Sounds Today playlist: a band on the cusp of stardom, and a band returning with new tracks are top of our hit parade.

We think Only The Poets are amazing, and are about to hit stardom. Find out why by listing to their song Jump.

Rila’s Edge, our second new entry, are also on the rise, while we’re also welcome a new track from Kyros. Something for everyone.

Tune in for free on Spotify. Our playlist is a mixture that will help you discover something new.

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.

Kyros – The End in Mind

Kyros are back with their first new music in nearly three years and it’s an epic. This new single, released on our own White Star Records label, is nearly eight minutes long with an opening melodic section moving into a crazy instrumental of incredible musicianship before returning to the more song based section to close.

Brilliant stuff.

The song has already gone down well with the band’s fans as we saw when they played it live for the first time at a string of live shows recently. You can see the band locally when they play Wokingham Festival on August 28 – https://www.kyrosmusic.com/

Rila’s Edge – Take Time

They are one of the bands of the moment with their last two singles, Someone New and Share the Night being among our faves of the last year.

Rila’s Edge are certainly on the rise with the consistent quality of their songwriting and recordings which they show again here with the release of a new two-track single which includes this song. It’s another good one with good melody and production and another excellent vocal performance from singer, Alfie Harris – https://www.rilasedge.com/

Only the Poets – Jump

Reading band Only the Poets are certainly building a following with their live shows around the world.

They’ve even been on tour with Lewis Capaldi and, following their own successful shows in Europe, they will be at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire next Wednesday, May 3, for a headlining show.

Jump is the band’s latest single and its infectious melody and driving beats shows that this is a band that is about to jump into the mainstream – https://onlythepoetsofficial.com/

Tankus the Henge – You Can Do Anything

With Tankus the Henge headlining Wokingham Festival on Sunday August 27, we popped along to their show at Guildford’s Boileroom recently to check them out. What a night it was. – https://www.tankusthehenge.com/

Jessica Winter – Choreograph

The Are You Listening? festival celebrates its 10th Anniversary this year and this talented artist and producer who just released her new EP, Limerence, from which this song is taken will be there on May6 – https://www.jessicawinter.tv/

Reliant – Do What You Want

Wokingham/Reading-based indie rockers return with a new catchy riff laden single, recorded at Generation Studio – https://linktr.ee/wearereliant

Split the Dealer – Capsize

He’s been in every one of our Top 20 listings of the year so far and this new single is another brilliant recording – https://beacons.ai/splitthedealer

One Last Day – Stay Away From Me

It’s another slice of well played powerful but melodic rock on this single from the local band whose tour includes a Reading date on July 22 at Facebar and at Wokingham Festival appearance on August 28 – https://linktr.ee/onelastday

Ghost Dance – Down to the Wire

Back in time to the 1980s with an anthem from gothic rockers, Ghost Dance, who are at Reading Facebar on May 4 – https://ghost-dance.co.uk/
