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 31st March 2025: 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/batc565

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.

Full Inbox: Batch 565

Our moderators listened to every track we were sent this week and have picked their favourites for your listening pleasure this weekend:

"Young Men Need Their Wives" is a raw, empowering anthem drawn from Platt's deeply personal experience of being pressured by multiple therapists and medical professionals to stay in an abusive relationship. The track channels the chaotic, disorienting emotions she faced, blending the raw energy of Sonic Youth's distorted guitars with the soulful, catchy, yet vulnerable sound of The Shirelles. With its rebellious spirit and defiant message, this song is an assertion of independence and strength, turning a painful experience into a powerful call for self-worth and self-liberation. 



HANNAH SAYS:

I wrote "Young Men Need Their Wives" as a fierce declaration that we are all worthy of love that is kind, genuine, and healthy—free from manipulation. Many of the lyrics are drawn directly from the harmful and dangerous advice I was given verbatim by therapists and medical professionals. This song is not just about reclaiming my own voice; it’s also about empowering anyone who has ever felt pressured to stay in toxic situations. It serves as a reminder that we deserve love that lifts us up, and we should never settle for being collateral damage in someone else’s journey.

"Isn't Love Important" is a song from Jonny Fallout's new album, "Travelogue", released on Triplicate Records (https://jonnyfallout.bandcamp.com). The track combines influences from synthwave to IDM. Dreamy synths and airy, warped pads, underpinned by the scattered and kaleidoscopic arpeggios coalesce beautifully into a wonderfully unique sonic mix.

Another track from forthcoming mini album

Misaligned

Nostalgia is the sophomore album from Patron Saints, and a more diverse record that the debut 'Lateralism' which was released in 2024.

With a larger scope and more focused vision, Nostalgia doesn't sit still for a moment. Instead, it careers wildly through genre-bending electronica song-craft, through deep house, downtempo, rave, dubstep and synthwave, culminating in the magnum opus 'Chicago' that rounds out the album like an electro-symphony in 4 parts.
