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 7 Feb: 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/batch435

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 435

If you've ever been on a mad night out that got out of hand, you'll get this song. It's a song about the blurred lines between hedonism, self-control and addiction, and it's all there in the track. 
It's about the cyclical nature of drink and drug abuse and the way time itself distorts when you approach the precipice of the void. We wrote the song in a way to mirror that feeling of trying to keep the night going when everybody else going home; that desperate search for small hour thrills, interspersed with peals of drum and bass, hazy taxi rides and streetside longing.

How Big

Track 5 of the Album https://soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-firm-dark-orchestral-suite
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the Firm Ascaridida had in 2019 the smart idea to have one of his laboratories in the Republic of Nicha to leak a virus in order to enhance his pharmaceutical businesses with new vaccines. Not only did it generate billions of dollars of new revenue but it also killed millions of people. The smart idea just backfired at him. Indeed, all his board of director and his own family died because of this virus leak. He is now alone to run this billion dollar firm having a footprint everywhere on the world. Will he be able to get The Firm back on its evil tracks in 2022? 
We shall see.

Public Disorder Act 2 (Remastered)

2 to 1 (Remastered)

2 To 1 (Remastered)

People tell lies all the time. Either to hide something, to get away with something, or just a little white lie to cover up something totally innocent that nobody needs to know about. Something you possibly shouldn’t have done. But sometimes white lies stop being completely white, and start changing color …

The first seconds of Colorful White Lies could make you wonder if you’re supposed to dance, or if you’re supposed to rock. The answer could be both. But when the chorus kicks in, there shouldn’t be a doubt. That sleazy, heavy, Skynyrd meets Aerosmith-sounding riff should absolutely make you want to rock. Or dance. You choose. Either way, the vibe is high. It’s Electric High! And from the middle part out, it’s all hands clapping in the air, one bad-ass guitar solo, and another sing-along chorus, before the final verse wraps it all up. But you should probably hear it yourself, because this could all be colorful white lies.

Colorful White Lies was recorded in Solslottet Studio, Bergen, Norway, produced by Electric High & Iver Sandøy.
Many more releases from Electric High will follow in 2022.

Nowhere To Go But Everywhere

We Are The Son

Showbiz is a catchy and upbeat single with a country-infused sound, which will be released on Friday 4th March.
Emma says: “On the surface Showbiz is about celebrity love, but I think it goes a little deeper than that. It touches on all of our lives in the way that we live them these days.  We tend to spend a lot of time on social media, only showing people what we want them to see. So ‘she’ in the song could be me, it could be you…we’re all slightly guilty of only showing the highlight reel of our lives.”

Waiting For You

Waiting For You (Clean)

Consider this the teaser for my top secret upcoming EP! This song was made about a dream I had. And maaayyy also be featured on Retrac Recordings' dream comp ;o

I had a strange albeit calm dream; after a leisurely stroll around some type of park resort/theme park thing, well, I boarded a rather modern yet petite lemon-yellow train. It was quiet and I was the only person aboard. The windows, well majority of the time they returned a reflection of my own face, and in other locations I was free to admire various incandescent streetlights and whatever else may glow and glare against a vaguely grubby double-glazed casement. I heard a simple tune to the murmur of the powerlines above and the metallic whirring of wheels against steel track, such became the hum of my voice as I awoke and began to draft 'Tabi'

Tabi

I walk barefoot through the rain city.
Where everything is under water.
I see a girl so blonde and beautiful.
I would like to walk next to you. You, oh you. You turn me on.
I only dream of you my darling and your blue eyes.
Honey oh that's it.

Regenstadt (Rainytown)               Lyrics translate in description ʕ•̫͡•ʔ
