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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 495

LYRICS

Eat me alive
So sick of sedentary life
It’s time to stir up the pot
Meet me out in the parking lot

Wind me up watch me go into the night time
Gas me up like a shot hitting the mainline
Searching for something like pacification
Roaming on the streets with no destination

Feel what you feel
Addicted to a story
That you know isn’t real
A switchblade allegory

Cruisin with the bay boys
Riding to the edge of the earth
No one’s gonna stop the bay boys
Ride or die til the end

The road is my love
Like the leather stud fit of a glove
And when I forget who I am
She’ll always take me right back again

Cuz when everything is said and done
Baby I was born to run
So the second I’m feelin a little vacation
Skipping this town with no hesitation

Fear like a phantom
Running from your shadow
But it seeps in like a venom
The dream you live is hollow

Cruisin with the bay boys
Riding to the edge of the earth
No one’s gonna stop the bay boys
Ride or die til the end

Cruisin with the bay boys
Light it up and watch it burn
No one’s gonna stop the bay boys
Try and you’re gonna learn

Bay Boys

“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.
