We’re now days away from Wokingham Festival – and Reading Festival for that matter.
So it’s little surprise that we’re whetting your appetite this week with three new entries that will all be on the bill.
The line-up for the three-day event is amazing, and if you haven’t got plans for August bank holiday, we think you’ll love this.
You can tune in to our playlist for free. It’s on Spotify and is a great way to discover bands with a connection to Reading or Wokingham.
To hear this week’s selection, simply head to https://bit.ly/rawsoundstodayand 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 – Illusions inside
Kyros are certainly building quite a reputation for their innovative sound which combines eighties pop elements alongside modern progressive rock sounds.
They have just released this new single on our locally based White Star Records label and they will be at Wokingham Festival on Monday, August 28.
The single is another of their complex but accessible songs and you won’t want to miss seeing these impressive and exciting musicians playing live at the festival – https://www.kyrosmusic.com/
Cities in Dust – The Other Son
Here’s a band from the local area that combine psychedelic electronica and indie rock to create some unique music.

OSP – Call Me
OSP were one of the highlights of the Wokingham Music Club Stage at Wokingham Festival last year. This Reading based rap collective won over the crowd with their infectious energetic set.
