Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 22nd April: from 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/batch322

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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

Call To Me

You know you've been unhappy all your life
Every win had edges hard as knives
Where I could compromise you loved to fight
And happiness would lose each time to being right

You know I understand what lies beneath 
Your reticence to even once concede 
But though you fought a destiny that was assumed 
You chose to play the role that damaged you

Cold hard truth
I hereby cut you loose
No place for you here
Find somewhere else to be

Fragments of you scatter all around
Fragile once, the fall is now profound
I sometimes catch a glimpse of you before
Even though you don't exist any more

Cold hard truth
I hereby cut you loose
No place for you here
Find somewhere else to be

Music is my madness 
It keeps me sane 
It seeps out of my pores 
Into my brain 
And so I write these words 
Onto this page 
And there they stay so I can walk away

Cut You Loose

Perish The Thought (feat. Asher Dust)

No-one could have guessed the madness and the highs we've been through. I wanted to put it all in a song but I honestly think several albums wouldn't do it justice! 'TEN' makes a start of it! Streaming ERRRRWHERRRE Now!

The Rhyhtm Of Spring

I Wake Up

And just the first step is hard
In the spotlight
It shows a brave heart 
And reveals aims outright

You’re laughing now
Remembering how
You believed
In a wise experience
Of others, lost years

The sun fell down
Absorbed by a fierce clown
The sun fell down

Come close 
They'll tell you the secret
Of the Universe
And a uniform life
But no story's alike

You give or you lend
It's always a question
In the end

The sun fell down
Absorbed by a fierce clown
The sun fell down

Nightline

Hailing from the creative northern town of Hebden Bridge, Logan & Manley are full of irie beats, soulful vibes and lyrics that have a message for us all. Live, they loop a sonic landscape of dynamic vocals, guitars and electric drums creating a space for everyone to get lost in the magic of their music. Expect to feel the love from the tips of your toes to the top of your head.  

“The most interesting duo we have seen live in recent memory. Exceptional presence; soulful, energetic, they work it with burning talent.” – Folk Phenomena 

In 2017 Terry’s thoughtfully crafted song writing caught the ear of acclaimed producer John Garden (Scissor Sisters/Alison Moyet). The pair recorded their first EP ‘Believe it a Little’ which John deemed “an extraordinary new talent” and “a real honour to work on.’  

Even though the pair have been together a relatively short time, they have an impressive musical history including headlining their own UK EP tour, supporting the likes of Dreadzone, Zion Train, Natty and the Rebelship, Kioko, My Baby in Berlin as part of their European Tour and Haggis Horns.  They have also become favourites at Cloudspotting Festival, Head for the Hills, Festival 23, Green Gathering, Solfest, Eden Festival, Super Weird Happenings and Hebden Folk Roots Festival where they played live on BBC Radio Leeds. 

During this highly creative time, they have been busy refining their sound and are extremely proud to release their new EP, ‘Orpheus Vibrations’ co-produced by Chris Colling at the end of March 2019.  

"I was quite literally stunned by their performance, wonderful voice coupled with brilliant beautiful songs and when in full flow a mesmerising quality, Logan & Manley are definitely one to keep an eye on, absolutely amazing" Kermit, Black Grape
