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 2nd October, 2023: 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/batch503

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.

The idea for this song came to me in the summer of 2020 while I was sitting in a beautiful garden with nothing more but a book and a coffee. However, I only finished writing it in March 2022.

While the original idea for the song came to me in French, I spontaneously mixed English and French while writing the lyrics of the verses. Since most of the books I am reading are either in English or French, it makes perfect sense, though!

02 A Good Place For You

Too Late Master  1.1

For Ben J

Don't you worry about a thing,
I'll be fine - that's a lie.
- You just get on with it.
This time,
got lightning running down your spine.

Now you dredge the River Severn,
The million aspirations,
that we all threw in,
When we arrived.
Don't leave yours behind.
And, please, don't waste your time.
Don't get left behind.

Hey Ben!
Give me something to believe in!
Like Clem said,
"No one has the time for victims".
(Which I can attest...)
Now failing's not an option, man.
So don't let it happen, man.

Trousers and pants dropped undetected.
Upon that changing room floor,
I'll never produce anything
as pure.
Anything as beautiful.
Such purpose, such candour.
A stinking mound to behold.

Hey Ben!
Give me something to believe in!
Like Clem said,
"No one has the time for victims".
(Which I can attest...)
Now failing's not an option, man.
So don't let it happen, man.

"Don't you ever dare decry,
the skidmarks of your life etched to the bowl.
And act like if given the chance to do it again,
you wouldn't piss it all against the wall."

('Cause we're wasting it!)
(Yeah, we're full of shit!)

You should channel the spirit of Swan.
(In Paris!)
Circa 1829.
Noting the futility,
lounging in a bath of strawberries.
Since he's dead and he's rich,
he can do what he likes.

You should channel the spirit of Swan.
(In Prison!)
Circa 1829.
Noting the futility,
lounging in a bath of strawberries.
Since he's dead and he's rich,
he can do what he likes.

Since he's dead and he's rich,
he can do what he likes.

If you're dead or you're rich,
you can do what you like...

Strawberries With Swan

Destined Legacy

Let me seduce you

On My Own is the second release by BAG HEAD and is a simple 2 minute raucous musical blast, whilst BAG HEAD once again, tongue in cheek, ironically reflects on the trials and tribulations of his Gen Z life.

On My Own

‘Damaged’ is an introspective exploration of a turbulent parent-child relationship. Told from the child’s perspective as they learn to be grateful for who they are, and for all the toxic traits they’ve avoided inheriting from their absent parent.
