Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 2nd May: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch445

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 445

„Nigel The Gannet“ by The Burning Hell 
off forthcoming album Garbage Island (June 24) https://bbislandmusic.com/shop/the-burning-hell-garbage-island-vinyl-cd


The Burning Hell preview the upcoming and highly anticipated opus/epic Garbage Island with a sweet-hearted examination of the life of an individual in society, a world filled with good intentions but inevitable misunderstandings. 

It just so happens that it’s the story of a bird: Nigel The Gannet. 

(Nigel the Gannet is the true story of a gannet in New Zealand, who briefly became an international media star when he died of old age next to the concrete decoy gannet he had chosen as his mate. Though the press spun his story as a lonely one, the band takes a different perspective:)

Gently referencing XTC’s own Making Plans for Nigel, but trading the capitalist alienation and dread for a warmer new wave of synth hooks and programmed swing, The Burning Hell celebrate the loner, the non-conformist, and a life on the edge, aware of the difference between being lonely and being alone.

The animated video for the song was done by Ariel Sharratt, who says: "Ultimately, as a smallish band if there's something we want to do, we usually have to do it ourselves. That was the case for this video, where I learned some basics of animation and then taught myself on the job. This was my first animation project, and I absolutely loved the process of creating a world for Nigel to navigate -- a world that's like ours: full of incredible beauty, colossal waste and destruction, and hopefully some sort of happy ending."

Fresh On The Net is a music blog hosted by Tom Robinson and Team Freshnet, offering independent artists an open door and a level playing field for their music. Our inbox is open at http://freshonthenet.co.uk every Monday to Thursday morning - if you share a track with us there it will be heard by every member of our moderation team.

IMPORTANT: 
Only send ONE track, and make sure the dropbox says "OPEN".  Sorry, but tracks sent while the dropbox is closed - or shared drectly with this Soundcloud account - will not get heard.

Fronted by a big rapper with a Yorkshire accent and and an aggressive singer who is simultaneously technically brilliant on guitar, backed up by a powerful brass section and a mathematically precise rhythm section. The old adage of ‘has to be seen/heard to be believed’ has never rung truer than with China Shop Bull. Yes they combine elements of hip hop, punk, ska, drum and bass and reggae. But the point is that they do so with excellent musicianship and and incredible energy.

Increasingly being booked as a headline band around the UK and Europe, they have been invited to play such festivals as BoomTown Fair, Beatherder, Alchemy, Solfest and Mighty Sounds (Cz). Following the release of their second album Public Disorder: Act 1 in 2015, building up to a new album in 2018 their momentum is only set to increase.
