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 8th 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/batch537

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves 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.

Homecoming


Lyrics:

"You tell me you can walk alone no more,
But the weight in your heart has taken its toll.

You look to me for your answers don't you?
But had we not been so lost in misfortune,
We would have noticed the moon shine down

The sound of your voice on which I depend,
Has fallen silent my dear friend.

You look to me for your answers don't you?
But had we not been so lost in misfortune,
We would have noticed the moon shine down
We would have noticed the moon shine down
We would have noticed the moon shine down
We would have noticed the moon..."

words by George E Harris

UNSTEADY READY

Love note thrown as a paper plane 
landed in the bush nearby
flapping out in the breeze.
I Wanna Be Yours. 	

Just off into the city, 
snake man’s nearby. 
Sounds of the silver blade slide
in a whoosh of air crossing the street.

Smiles on and never changed 
as we move on up. 
In my mind it gives me a shiver, 
keeping an eye reminds me of you
in a spirit message to the world.

Here now listening to the primitive painters 
just feeling elated on the bench. 
Staring into spaces of deep consideration
at all times over the sequence.

Eyes ripped up, 
but only in the mirror walk.
Steeped in overthinking, 
I need to stop until the machine wakes. 
Instantly its then strenuous and impacting the flow. 

Signs indicating heads to be taken away, 
upturned eyes staring out in a fish like manner. 
Sampled horror branches squeezing
and spirited into the ether.  

Danger plateaus just out of reach, 
Served up image looking on in dispirited joy.
Banging the beat out on track,
Observing outside in calm with a butterfly light.

And as the bite beams back, 
what on earth was I thinking? 
Some distance in the contemplation,
I wish you were here right now,
so so so with the unsteady ready.

UNSTEADY READY

Feels Like This

Falling

Falling (Vocal Mix)

Our 2024 album Troll To Victory! deals with topics such as celebrity culture, beauty ideals and the state of the world in general today.
It's an epic rollercoaster of anger and comedy all combined in hard hitting punk-rock.

Seppuku

JJ- A Dream

Higher The Hair

A rumination on a decade-old connection and where they are now.

LYRICS:
We drive around in your car again
What a way to spend an afternoon for two

We pass the storefronts and the memories
Laminated glass keeps us from what we had
But these shops aren't selling memories
They're merely dreams that we will never get to share

And you could say it's not the best time
But why can't we play pretend?
And what's on the line?
All of my values
As I point out the line about your scars in my song

I had a dream we fell in love again
And when I wake I feel it slip away
Reading back our chats like poetry
With cheap Shiraz I'll check the read receipt and drink

And you could say it's not the best time
But why can't we play pretend?
And what's on the line?
All of my values
As I point out the line about your scars in my song

I felt a spark so I got in your car and your engine took us home
Where you kept your wedding vows so your God won't strike you down
Has it been ten years?
I haven't a clue
It gets hazy when I drink
And now you've spent a lifetime with him
And I'm aching on my own

Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh

We drive around in your car again

This Love

Luv With U

We've got demolition and bombs in the air 
We've got tanks and guns, so you better beware 
They got tunnels and rockets flying everywhere 
They got a strong religion and a whole lot of despair 
Going nowhere on the road of war again 

Its so much to take in, how can you in one breath 
Include millions of lives in one ward, in one death 
And who is the king here, who's in command 
Of all this bloodshed and bodies on the sand 
Going nowhere on the road of war again 

They say it’s a tough situation, there is no clean way out 
Either you eat or you'll be eaten, so there's not much to talk about 
And they say this is your enemy, there always seems to be one around 
And if god is a part of this then he must be out of town 
Because we're going nowhere on the road of war again 

Life is too short and it goes by so fast 
You can live in the present or be stuck in the past 
Two ends for every tunnel 
Two sides in every fight 
Too much religion, and way too much pride 
It can go on and on forever, who's winning anyway 
How long till we notice our hearts just beat the same 
Going nowhere on the road of war again
