Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) are a British multi talented instrumental pop band. They come from an array of backgrounds to bring their talent together on the guitar, keyboards, drums, trumpet, tenor saxophone, violin and cello and not forgetting of course the rough scratchy gem like vocals.

Their philosophy is care and share, gratitude and not attitude, which is depicted by most of the members of RDA playing with other musicians and being in other collectives. This is a refreshing change to see this attitude rather than one of fighting and bickering, which is usually seen when artists branch out and share their music.

Their debut single "Feeder" has a warm homely feel to it. It opens with a slow mellow sound on the guitar, vocals and percussion. Little by little the other instruments come into play.

The brass and strings bring out the emotional love in this song and the drums keep it real. At 2 mins the instruments begin to build louder and more passionate. Once reaching their peak the guitar comes into its own and steals the song.

A fantastic feel good song, which will keep you smiling the whole daylong.
