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 13 January: 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/batch350

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.

Caledonia Dreaming is a song about the love of my home country, Scotland and about the homesickness I and countless other Scots feel when away from their family and homeland for long periods of time.

It is also a song for everyone who sometimes feels homesick. Wherever you are, just remember your home is inside of you!

Clouds on the Road

'It’s A Lovely Day Tomorrow’ is the new single by Tribes of Europe & Barbara Stretch, released by Integrity Records across all major digital platforms (29th November 2019) and on limited edition CD (6th December 2019).

Penned by Irving Berlin in 1938, it was in fact written as a war song in response to the so-called Munich Betrayal when conflict with Hitler was avoided by allowing Germany to annex the Sudetenland region of western Czechoslovakia.

The second collaboration between Fenland-based Tribes of Europe and former feminist punk iconoclast Barbara Stretch features additional vocals by Max Taylor (MIKA, Lily Allen, Clor) and drums by Andy Gangadeen (Massive Attack, Chase & Status, Jeff Beck).

Loosely based on the version released by Vera Lynn to lift spirits during the Blitz, multi-instrumentalist Martin Elsey has put his own Tribes of Europe twist on this classic track which he feels is just as relevant today:

“What happened to the ‘lovely tomorrow’ Vera Lynn was singing about? For a while things got better – decent affordable housing, the NHS, effective vaccination campaigns, building stronger ties with Europe to help keep some peace. Then, after years of austerity, and now the Brexit fiasco, the lyric just seemed to become more and more poignant.”

Previous singles by Tribes of Europe, including recent Barbara Stretch collaboration ‘You Don’t Speak For Me’, have enjoyed support on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio 3's Late Junction.

It's A Lovely Day Tomorrow

We'll Meet Again

November 1 impact
Debut single from the Leeds five-piece. Citing influences as Cage The Elephant, Edward Sharpe and The Waterboys 'Dark Days' is an energetic indie/folk romp with the rasping vocals of frontman Huw Eddy. Building confidence and passion from paying countless live shows over the last 18 months, The Greater Good exude electricity from their very first notes and this is shown with great swagger on the debut track. An EP will  follow in the New Year.

Huw & The Greater Good - Dark Days

A bouncy tech house track, with a catchy bassline and a half-time breakdown to change things up towards the end of the track.

Recently featured on BBC Introducing on Radio Humberside (11/01/2020).
