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 11th July: 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/batch455

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.

5 Weeks - I Cant Have It

Lookout

(VERSE 1)

When you can’t quite find the words to say
You try to write it down and out anyway
That you can find out on the day
When we find a little space
Its gonna take some time to heal
The drawn out dread that you now feel
But its a part out of the deal
That we’ve been blessed enough to feel

(CHORUS)

I’m on the lookout,
For someone older,
To point me in the right direction,
To keep my right.

I’m on the lookout,
For someone wiser,
To keep me on my feet,
And treat me right.

(VERSE 2)

I know how you feel now,
Cut up in the world
Your heads a mess, you feel its up in a swirl
But the days will get brighter,
No time in the dark
And now you feel that we’ve been all torn apart

But I’ve been dealing with the same old places
Staring at these walls for ages and ages
Practice on my life has been far from gracious
Building up the walls like a pariah nation
Imagination? Now come pick a destination
Greatest show on earth that we’re about to stage in
Welcome to my paradise, my little oasis
Sorry for my dreams there a little abrasive

(CHORUS 2)

I’m on the lookout,
For someone older,
To point me in the right direction,
To keep my right.

I’m on the lookout,
For someone wiser,
To keep me on my feet,
And treat me right.

Ain’t easy to move on,
But it gets better,
It makes me feel so happy,
That look in your eyes...

Cos times are changing,
And I can do much better,
It makes me feel so happy,
She treats me right.

Ripple Effect

I'd love to be rich. Guilty. Day job away, buy a humongous warehouse and built a recording studio and hostel and host free music making, for good music makers, forever more.

"No claim to hold righteous motivation.
Just to hold my head high.
Something decent, to feel redemption"

Have you ever been on a trip that didn’t quite work out as you had intended?
Welcome to the nightmare that is ‘My Dreams Have Come Alive’.
A graphic recounting of one of the worst nights of my life, it all happened including the green creatures smashing through walls.

Pete Sounds

My Dreams Have Come Alive

A song that started out as a nostalgiafest then evolved into a reflection on how the Tories somehow manage to keep securing a majority in this country.

And if I could go back in time
I'd head for 1979
The nights were young and the days were free
When I hit my majority
Pouring over a four leaf clover
A kiss against the wind
Singing out 2-4-6-8
But it was already too late by then

Blue hearts red sky
Shining on high 
Not much to do
But paint the whole world blue
Paint the whole world blue

This old heart of mine has seen way better days
Than this croaking twenties male 
Newsflash just in from across the multiverse
Things could be better
Could they be a whole lot worse
Ripping up the rulebook when the Ts and Cs don't suit
Selling off the silver and trousering the loot

Do you want the overture of misery and strife 
To be the soundtrack to your life
Maybe sometime we'll find faith in one another
Try on a different colour.

Strumming the LAG, I came upon the chord sequence for the verse. I thought that sounds a bit Sweet Home Alabama All Night Long -ish and went for the lyrical nostalgia fest feel.

Paint the Whole World Blue

Static Life

There are expectations for what you’re supposed to be.
Environment can change what you are and who you are.
We all strive to become the butterfly.

Released in July 2022 on the ‘Butterflies’ EP

Butterflies

I went through heartbreak and I thought, what would I say to someone going through this?

When A Heart Breaks An Angel Cries - Angela Powis

Brooding pop with a dark, hypnotic edge drawing influence from darkwave and early 80s postpunk and synthpop.

Winter

Third one from the forthcoming EP entitled "No, honestly, it's fine...".

Presave for streaming: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/flakebelly/sexy-zeppelin

A laid-back take on the classic rock genre. With hypnotic drums, pumping melodic bass, palm muted bluesy guitars and a heartfelt plea for understanding. Complete with bonus Michael Jackson-inspired coda. With smoothness. With style. Sexy Zeppelin.
