ONE of our missions is to champion new music as well as local music and our two new entries this week showcase just that.

Reliant are regular entries in our playlist and they’re back with a new song ahead of their Wokingham Festival appearance this August.

And Adomania are a new group that we reckon will go places. Listen to their debut single on our Spotify list and you’ll understand why.

All songs in the RaW Sounds Today have a connection to Reading and Wokingham (that’s the RaW in our Sounds Today name).

To hear this week’s selection, simply head to https://bit.ly/rawsoundstodayand enjoy the music.

There’s 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.

Reliant – Heaven or Hell

Here’s the new single from local favourite, Reliant, and it’s an exciting piece of powerful indie rock.

Recorded at Generation Studio, it shows that the band are making a good progression and developing well following their previous releases and their live shows in the local area and beyond.

hey will be appearing at Wokingham Festival in August on the Wokingham Music Club stage, so will that be heaven or hell? Definitely the former, that’s for sure – https://www.facebook.com/WeAreReliant

Adomania – Heavy Rain

It’s wonderful when you hear a debut single from a new young band and it grabs you straight away but, you aren’t quite sure why, so you have to listen to it over and over.

That’s what happened when Ian from Beyond the Download suggested we give this a listen.

It has a vibrant enthusiastic feel with great melodies.

Well done Madeleine, Louie and Jacob – a good debut from a new Wokingham band.

There’s potential here and we look forward to seeing that potential develop – https://www.facebook.com/AdomaniaBand
