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 21st October: 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/batch341

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 SoundCloud Go tracks, which 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 will also be removed.

IAMWARFACE are an Electro Rock Band formed in London 2016 by singer/producer Matt Warneford. His band consist of Lou Matthews (Guitars), Tom Howe (DJ Synth), Mike Smith (Bass) and Adam Stanley (Drums). The name is a metaphor for his own original style of bombastic high-energy groove based electro-rock, which has been affectionaly branded “Rocktronica” by none other than legendary Virgin Radio host Eddy Temple Morris.

They have taken the pop route but they keep it dangerous with a fusion of 80’s style vocals, abstract guitars, moody layered synth riffs and pounding drum beats.

The band have been influenced by many peers such as Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, Kasabian, Muse, Big Black Delta, Nero, Queens of the Stone Age, Tears For Fears, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Black Keys and MGMT.

They have so far released a number of singles which have been met with high acclaim by both public and industry peers. In fact, Eddy TM has stated that their upcoming single “Closer” is the best thing they have ever done and has already been tipped to be THE track of 2018. 

With exclusive live sessions on BBC Introducing propelling them to even greater heights, 2018 has been earmarked as the year they break out.

They have just finished touring sold out support gigs with Gary Numan (including Leamington Assembly capacity 1500)  where they proved so popular to the Numanoids, calling them: "The best Numan support act in fifteen years". Not ordinarily a fan-base who are easily swayed - they're now actively supporting Iamwarface online, at gigs, buying their music and following them in droves! In addition Mr Numan also wants the band back as support for a future tour.

Their Debut Album "Year Of The Dragon" is due for release on September 6th, 2019.

Lyrics:

Everybody’s has a home
Even the chief on our street sings from the same song
We all leave our doors open
The years goes by and the butterflies still return

Glacial water tastes the best
All their gods are laid to rest
+++++++++
There’s no place like home
No one lives alone
Logic is our throne
There’s no place like home
+++++++++
We trust our leaders to tell the truth
They were voted in by and they listen to the youth
Mountain air is the best
Baby-boomers laid to rest
+++++++++
There’s no place like home
No one lives alone
Logic is our throne
There’s no place like home

Fool's Paradise

Everyone Hates track not found

How long
Blood moon horizon, the town it is sleeping,
Walked to the mountain’s end,
A gale started blowing, it shattered a window,
Into a dusky red,
Solar aligns, bringing light, to the eye,
An arrow of time, with no past, no future,
Brick and mortar thrown up to serve man’s need,
Cuts the open sky and lets the old talk breathe,

In the moments of your body,
In the stillness of the sky,
Lies the root of my existence, 
Where infinity resides,

Beneath a blood red night I will follow on,
How long will you be there?
As order turns to a form of a slow chaos,
How long would you be there?
How long will you be there?

How Long (Radio Edit)

Listening Club are back with their second single, Hurts.

Bonding over a shared love of classic songwriting and 80s guitar jangle, the band are already seasoned musicians. Between them they have played Glastonbury, featured on BBC 6Music, penned tunes for E4 Skins, recorded numerous sessions for BBC Introducing - and toured the UK extensively. 

After their debut single, Skiffle Scuffle, gained national and international radio play, the band hit the festival circuit, recorded several BBC Sessions - and toured extensively.

Hurts is the second single in a trilogy produced by Neil Scott (Felt, Denim, Everything But The Girl) and engineered by Jon Spence (Happy Mondays) - both adding some 80s sparkle to the mix.

Band leader Rich, can’t wait for the release: “Hurts shows what we are about as a band: bringing out the light and shade of modern life in three minutes or less.”

“A great song - and marvellous name for a band!”
BBC Introducing

LYRICS
In a kinda daze
Walking at your pace
Thought you’d raise me up
In this old town 

Tried to get me blue
But I’m so brand new
I can rule my own 
Not going down

I’ve been tested I’ve been tried
The best of me is still alive
Ramp it up to overdrive
How could I be so blind?


I’m a force of nature hurricane
A steel forged in my own flame
Thought I’d had enough? 
I’m made of stronger stuff

Got a locked on target in my sight
So wind me up and see me strike
I’m not giving up
I’m made of stronger stuff 

In my new boots
I’ll walk away from you
Don’t need no one
To take me home 

And if you thought I’d stay
Well you don’t write my way 
And if you take me down
I’m up and gone 

I’ve been wrong and I’ve been right 
I’m sharpening my tiger bite 
I’ve been tainted, I’ve been tied
But not this time 


And I’ve been counting out the time 
Got my rhythm, got my rhyme
I’m not giving up 
I’m made of stronger stuff

Stronger Stuff

Don't wanna sing no protest songs
DON'T WANNA LEAVE NO CAPS LOCK ON
Don't wanna kick against the parliament pricks
I just wanna sing some hippy shit

Don't wanna shout and vent my spleen
Don't wanna break the hate machine
Don't wanna show they're lying gits
I just wanna sing some hippy shit

But hippy shit will have to wait
While I hate the world that loves to hate
Gonna fight for days where love is it
And then we'll sing some hippy shit

Don't wanna march on revolution street
Don't wanna rail against the ruling elite
Don't wanna tell the man he needs to quit
I just wanna sing some hippy shit

Gonna say no to stupid baby men
Gonna say no to stupid war again
Gonna say no to stupid racist dicks
Gonna say yes to some hippy shit

Some Hippy Shit

This is a song about a girl that I really loved. Things just didn't work out. I am still hurt a little, so I made a song to release what's left inside. Inhale, exhale... new beginnings.

Love Language Speaks

'Run Run' explores my depression at a time when everything becomes too much and I need to escape. When I'm this far deep I feel ethereal, on the outside, unable to be present yet knowing that I 'should' be combatting this force.
