INDIE/Feb 2020

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 3rd Feb: from around midday on Friday 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/batch353

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 will be invisible to everyone. 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.

Half Of Us

I Dream Guillotine

This Is Not The End sees the band embrace their heavier influences, walking us further into the darker side of their material. The band’s beloved fists-in-the-air anthemia again sits front and centre but this time - while roaring percussion and ear-splitting guitars fight for attention before collapsing in on themselves - there is a palpable sense of desperation in Mads Baklien’s fevered cries. 

Taken from the forthcoming EP, Running All The Way Home, released November 1st on By The Time It Gets Dark Records. Pre-order here: https://orcd.co/ratwh

Spielbergs - This Is Not The End

looking back at who I was growing up, I wish I knew how much I would miss it

what's left are memories

I'm glad I made the most of it

lyrics:

life is complicated
thats understated
remember feeling alive
and the times it faded
should I be ashamed
of all the things I say
no way

I cried on the train just the other day
I thought becoming a man would go a different way
saw the world with young eyes
wake up and realize
its not the same

the battles get harder almost every time
my dream's on the line and I'm terrified
the harder I try I'm falling more behind

it's not the same

life goes up but I took a fall
you might think I'm a king but I cant win em all
life is fair but with an empty head
what do I do instead

tell me why I don't feel
anything anymore
tell me why I don't feel
anything anymore

Give Up The Dream EP

All Rise

Gaining airplay across the UK and beyond from a range of tastemaker names including BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing, talkSport Radio, Amazing Radio, Radio X, Sirius XM, Jack Saunders on BBC Radio 1, KINK in the Netherlands and Inter FM in Japan, False Heads have also gained placements on Apple Music’s ‘New in Rock’, Spotify’s ‘All New Rock’, Deezer’s ‘Hot New Rock’ and Amazon Music’s ‘Best New Bands’ playlists. 

Their live show is a legendary spectacle, a whirlwind of sweat, mosh pits, and unbridled joy. Having cut their teeth on the grimy underbelly of the UK club scene, the band's stage presence is electrifying, a potent mix of punk-rock fury and post-punk swagger. They've shared stages with the likes of The Libertines, Josh Homme, Frank Turner, David Byrne and Queens of the Stoneage, and their infectious energy has won over crowds across the globe. They’ve also sold out iconic venues on their own headline shows such as The Windmill, The Grace, Oslo, The Louisana, Ramsgate Music Hall and played festivals such Reading, Isle of Wight, InMusic, Y Not, Tramlines, Rock for People. 

Their second album Sick Moon (produced by Frank Turner) stormed onto the UK Official Album Charts, landing a coveted spot within the Top 40 in the Album Sales Chart and number 2 in the Independent Album Breakers Chart. Their anthemic track "Rabbit Hole" has racked up over 1.5 million streams on Spotify, and 20,000 monthly listeners. The band has attracted a legion of devoted fans – including rock royalty like Simon Le Bon and Iggy Pop, legendary manager Danny Fields, and iconic Bangles guitarist Vicki Peterson.

False Heads are already hard at work on their third album, currently being recorded under the esteemed guidance of Grammy Award-winning producer Adrian Bushby. With his Midas touch on records by Muse, Foo Fighters, U2 and Placebo, this collaboration promises to elevate the band's sound to new heights.
