THREE more great new entries to the RaW Sounds Today playlist – we think you’ll love them.

They are all local bands with a rock feel, but different styles.

That’s the beauty of the playlist, it’s a chance to listen to something different.

It’s available 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.

The Two Ton Shoes – Weight of a Stone

DJ Roger D on Rock Radio UK’s The Walrus and the Carpenter Show suggested we give this Reading based band a listen. We can see why he recommended them. This debut single is an excellent slice of blue- based riff laden rock from the three-piece power trio. Our regular photographer, Andrew Merritt, checked them out live at a recent Acoustic Couch and was also suitably impressed so watch out for more from them later in the year when they plan to release a full EP – https://linktr.ee/thetwotonshoes

Purple Grace – When I’m Not With You

Another good new rock band from Reading and this time with a more indie feel. This is their single from late last year and it also appears on their Time Stands Still EP. It kicks off with a vocal hook that grabs you straight away and leads into a melodic indie pop anthem that we’ll look forward to singing along to live when they appear at Wokingham Festival in August – https://www.facebook.com/purplegraceband

Echo Chambers – Lawnmowers of Suburbia

More rock now and it’s a blast of excellent anthemic melodic punk from another Reading band. Check out the video (link on the band’s Facebook page) for this single which is great fun especially if you like lawnmowers.

As well as local shows they have recently performed at London’s legendary The Dublin Castle venue. They also recorded a live video session for Pyramid Recording Studios performing a great version of The Stooges classic, I Wanna Be Your Dog – https://linktr.ee/Echochambersrdg

Leoni Jane Kennedy – Tears

Leoni was so good last year on Wokingham Festival’s second stage that she has been invited back to play the main stage this year. Here’s one of her wonderful versions of a Rush classic – https://www.leonijanekennedy.com/

Tom Webber – Lightning Strike of ‘22

Tom played in Reading recently supporting Scouting for Girls at their recent Abbey Ruins show. And he has played Club Velocity/ New Mind shows. This Tom’s latest single and it’s another good one – https://lnk.to/tomwebber

The Salts – Haul Away for Rosie

Their unique take on sea shanties is in more demand than ever as the reputation of this incredibly talented group of musicians grows. They are at Norden Farm, Maidenhead this Friday – https://www.thesalts.co.uk/

Caravan – In the Land of Grey and Pink

Title track of one of the best progressive rock albums. Caravan headline Wokingham Festival on August 28 – https://officialcaravan.co.uk/

Odyssey – Going Back to My Roots

They had huge disco hits and this Friday, Odyssey will be live in Reading at the Disco Abbey event – https://www.facebook.com/odysseyNY

Spriggan Mist – The Portal

A Spriggan classic which has been remixed and mastered by Aaron Cilia, with Fay Brotherhood providing new lead vocals – https://www.sprigganmist.com/

Savour the Flavour – Fish and Chip Song

They have released their new album Crikey! It’s Savour the Flavour and they will live this Saturday at the Twyford Beer Festival so, why not pop along, have a beer, and check them out – http://www.flavoursong.co.uk/
