Indie Pop / Rock Playlist | BIRP! July 2023

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 3rd July 2023: 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/batch495

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.

“THE EXCELLENT TOM BRIGHT” - GUY GARVEY (BBC 6 MUSIC)
“ONE OF THE UK’S MOST MOVING SONGWRITERS” - JOHN KENNEDY (RADIO X)
“A STAR IN THE MAKING” - DEAN JACKSON (BBC INTRODUCING)
“UNMISTAKABLE” - GARY CROWLEY (BBC LONDON)
“A FEARLESS ACOUSTIC TROUBADOUR WITH A VOICE LIKE SANDPAPER AND A HEART LIKE GOLD” – LOUDER THAN WAR


2023 is fast-becoming a big one for Tom Bright. Already, he’s performed at The London Palladium, Shepherd's Bush Empire, Celtic Connections, headlined John Kennedy’s iconic night The Remedy, toured the UK and been live in session on Radio X.

Friday 2nd June sees him unleash his new single, ‘Matchsticks', produced by long-standing collaborator Ed Harcourt and mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.
 
The track sees Tom take us on an autobiographical journey of hospital beds and near-death experiences. With Keats-like romanticism and a Fleetwood Mac-esque backdrop, ‘Matchsticks’ takes him into very new ground. 
 
Since the release of his much-lauded second album ‘Legacy’ back in 2021, Bright has toured relentlessly, supporting the likes of Declan O’Rourke, William Prince, Richard Walters, The Bluetones & Callaghan, and performing at Glastonbury Festival & Secret Garden Party along the way.

In a career that’s seen him work with the likes of Mick Jones (The Clash) and Matt Johnson (The The), he can be found in Spotify’s Most Beautiful Songs in the World playlist and counts Guy Garvey (BBC 6 Music), John Kennedy (Radio X), Gary Crowley (BBC Radio London), Dean Jackson (BBC Introducing) and Lilian Smith (RTÉ Radio 1) as supporters. 
 
Tom will be back on the road this June, closing the run with a third Glastonbury appearance on Thursday 22nd.

Happen Twice

Seth Rogen

LYRICS

With the grass so green
Sun coating everything
That day felt a lot like walking through a dream
And with the sky so blue
We snuck into the church at school
To play a song while no one else was watching us

With the sun so bright
Walking side by side
Let me tell you that nothing ever felt so right
And with the sky so blue
A feeling in my heart strings grew
It was then I knew that I would fall in love with you

So blue
Sky so blue
So blue
Just like a dream

I can see those skies clear in my mind
Frozen in time, frozen in time
Like a scene I picked from my dreams
I can’t tell apart from reality
I hope that I can find my way out
Before I get caught in fantasy world
And get too wrapped up in what it could be
Back on my bullshit, I’m such an Aries
So I break down, stuck in my doubts
Jump too far in just to fall out
Things aren’t the way I thought them to be
There’s so many miles still set forth for me
Hop in the car, take the top down
And when we get out, drive it around
Clouds part ways and now I can see
The sky is blue above me

Sky So Blue

Cowboy Bebop OST 2 No Disc - Elm

First Single Off the Next Twin Cabins LP
Coming  2013
Edit: No Longer February, Going to go all Out

LYRICS:
Hey dont quit
let me go
lay me down, hold me down

it's my love
it's your love

would you say that if I had stayed you'd even try
to lay me down

had I said that I shouldn't beg,
I'd probably lie,
and yet you tried

it's my love
it's your fun

would you say that if I could taste
your morning dew
i'd lay you down

had I said that I shouldn't beg
I'd probably lie
and yet you tried

It's your (my) love

If You Could (Single)
