WE’RE all about championing music at the RaW Sounds Today playlist.

Band new and established, on our patch or just visiting – we love it all.

And this week we’ve got that in spades. Of our two new entries, one is from an exciting new band releasing their debut single, the second are old friends of the playlist and we know you’ll love their latest release.

Don’t forget, our mission is 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). Here’s two great bands that prove just how brilliant our music scene is.

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.

Yaoki – Brand New Life

They played their debut gig, opening the night, at Split The Dealer’s amazing Sub89 show recently. What a debut it was.

They were so good that it could one day become one of those ‘I was there’ moments.

I was therefore keen to hear this debut single and am pleased to say that it’s great.

It’s melodic and, powerful and, like the meaning behind their name, Yaoki, which comes from a traditional Japanese proverb meaning ‘fall seven times and stand up eight’, it’s inspirational – https://www.facebook.com/YaokiBand

The Paradox Twin – Prism Descent

They topped our Best of 2021 list and with an appearance coming up on Friday, July 1, at the impressive Prog For Peart Charity event it’s worth a reminder of The Paradox Twin’s excellent Silence from Signals album on our White Star Records label, with this song from it.

The two-day event is not too far away at The Northcourt in Abingdon so why not pop along if you can. The band will also be appearing at Wokingham Festival on Bank Holiday Monday in August – https://www.theparadoxtwin.com/
