As well as featuring artists linked to the local area, it’s great to include other exciting artists from further afield now and then that we go and see live and that are well worth checking out.

This week we have one of those artists that photographer, Andrew Merritt, and myself saw do an excellent performance in London last week’.

Second addition is a Reading artist, one of this year’s favourite bands – OSP have another new single out.

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.

Let’s Eat Grandma – Levitation

Here’s Rosa Walton & Jenny Hollingworth who myself and photographer, Andrew Merritt, went to see at a packed Koko in Camden last week.

Together with two session musicians, this talented young duo performed a set featuring songs from their I’m All Ears album, one of the albums of 2018, plus more, including this one from their latest album Two Ribbons.

It was enthralling and you couldn’t take your eyes off the stage for one second due to the duo’s creative presentation, wonderful personalities and songs with hooks galore.

Absolutely brilliant – http://letseatgrandma.co.uk/

OSP – Call Me

It’s one of our fave artists of the year, OSP, with a new single and it’s another good one.

This rap quartet from Reading are certainly consistent and their inspiring powerful live performance at Wokingham Festival in August was one of the highlights of the event. This single is another of OSP’s quality melodic songs and as usual has positive lyrics.

They make you feel good with every listen – https://www.facebook.com/ospmusicuk
