Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 12th April: 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/batch401

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

The Love You're Given

iTunes

An ode to one of the best bands around.

Lyrics:

Clutch your season pass
There's no seat
The coffe's neat

Find yourself a neutral point
And stare

3 dozen sets of glassy eyes don't realise
That nothing is in store
And nothing will surprise

No one pines for another time
Free of metro headlines and transport fines

Nothing permeates the brains
We're all just fodder for south west trains

Push the stereo to its peak
And no one speaks

Friday at my desk
To cap a wasted week

But I've still got you, pissed jeans
You give me what I need
To help outstare my screen

The only way to win it
is to quit it 

if you cant beat them
You can still leave them

days turn to weeks turn to months turn to years

I've Still Got You (Pissed Jeans) [better mix - with vocals]

John Wayne Gacy Jnr. (cover)

An old song, needs a less ropey recording

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.

Crime. Probably the best well-mannered sadboi grunge pop anthems in the world right now.

Crime have been an item since 2011. We used to practice twice a year, and those sessions were mostly spent dancing to noughties emo hits, which is why it took so long for us to write any music. We're making more of an effort on regularity now but haven't really cut down on the dancing.

Crime's debut album 'Hopeless Optimism' was recorded with Andy Jenkin (Katie Malco, Tellison, Yarraman) and features a guest appearance from the wonderful Jamie Cameron (The Last Dinosaur, Dave Jakes).
