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 15th 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/batch525

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves 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.

LYRICS
Pretty Baby the war bells have chimed
No need for halos get messy make them cry
Merrymaking a caustic change of heart
Move the needle turn it counter clockwise

Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time
Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time

Smash those demons that fill your vacant pause
Take what’s yours break their witty jaws
Play with havoc and take your final bow
You’ll see reflections of your own applause

Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time
Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time

The silence of the night
Crawling slowly and out of sight
Hapless touch of fire in your eyes
A crown of thorns dimming your light

Redeemer of sins that stands on the edge
A promise that aches of pretend
A dreamer rudely awakened
 Desire that drives you to the end

Locked in stone a heart full of lies
Take the bones and fall through the whys
Just a tremor of all you despise
Anoint the pain enjoy your sacrifice

Redeemer of sins that stands on the edge
A promise that aches of pretend
A dreamer rudely awakened
A desire that drives you to the end

Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time
Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time

Pretty Baby, oh pretty baby

Unicorn Queen FINAL VERSION

Pretty Baby's Crown of Thorns

“Promises” is a gentle, heartfelt piano piece dedicated to loved ones who are no longer with us. The contemplative yet hopeful melody is inspired by the promises made in their memory. The song features soft, intimate, felt piano tones creating an air of peaceful reflection.

CrusaderBeach is the pseudonym of composer Adrian Webster, a self-taught pianist from the North West of England whose neoclassical solo piano pieces blend captivating melodies with emotive moods. Discover more at: https://crusaderbeach.com/

Promises

Can't Get Close

The song is based on a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, the husband of Mary Shelly, who wrote Frankenstein. The theme is the transience of power, a topic that is also very relevant today.  Accompanied by acoustic guitars and the sound of a mandolin, the song has a folky mood.

King Of All Kings

Donkey

Scream U

A reworking of the traditional folk song The Broom Squire's Bird Song.

Taken from Slow Galley's Drift's eclectic Broken Field System EP which also features an improvisation for film; an acoustic folktronica track; and a chanson-inspired piano piece.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by the band at Three Galleys, Sheffield.

Panic in Paradise

It's been a busy year, gigs have started and Disco in Sochi are back for one last blast with their soft, raunchy power pop ballad "OMG!".

A blend of big beat drums grooving to a low end synth. Think a poppy LCD Soundsystem with a fat groove and sweet melodies.

"OMG!" is out 15/11/24.

OMG!

The third single from the 3rd album by a Lesser Version.

It Was Wrong (And I Know It Was)

Whisper Thinking

Written and performed by by The Trusted (Tom Cunningham, Dale Holt Mead, Finlay Cunningham, David Batchelor)

but a human has a race
people divide all not alike 
yet humans are all the same
