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 16 December 2024: 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/batch554

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

HONOLULU 2014

A new track I wrote a few weeks back. Recorded this with Matt Healey and Andy Tourle on backing vocals.

In The Morning

I can't leave her out in the cold
Looking over snow laden fields
24 Years old
Imagine her playing piano

Down the street
Past the house boats
Looking for a place
To call home

Elanor 
Besides all the fast food
Elanor
The temporary tattoo booth
Elanor
Your supposed to have your shit straight
Elanor
Autumn is on its way

She used to dance
Around the house
Catching the morning light
Remembering the leaves falling

Seeing things differently
There's a bigger picture
All those little things 
They make a difference
Elanor
Elanor

Elanor
Go outside and see the dawn
Elanor 
Here her smile in the song
Elanor
The swifts were late last year
Elanor 
you see this road we are here
Elanor

Singing for the company
swimming alongside me
walking hand in hand
Dreaming my way back

Elanor

Asleep

Hours & Days

RAPTURE! WAR! ODES TO ENDS!

Apocalyptic soundscapes trapsing their ways through parts of world and life ending catastrophic events. Ennui and despair. Desperation and anger. Acceptance and denial. Part A of a two part cycle made to envelop and re-order.

War!

In the Shadow of John the Divine

(Everything was taken away)

Feeling sorry for your last misfortune 
Drawing roses from our dream come true

Kill my heart with unforgiving silence
See the stars for everything we grew

(And just like that, everything was taken away)

Taken away, taken away, taken away
Everything was taken away

Taken away, taken away, away
Everything was taken away

Taken away, taken away, away
Everything was taken away

Taken away, taken away
Away, away, from me

(But it’s gonna be okay)

Love, I'm On Fire (soft centre Edit)

Burn the House

Less of a warning and more of a state of perpetual being.

Will Is Hard

The fate of our democracy rested in the hands of the USA voters. Though this song was initially directed at the conservative justices on SCOTUS, it really encompassed our choices regarding the direction for this country. We must keep in mind that the court's balance could be pushed even further toward an extreme conservative ideology. We are now in uncharted territory, though the direction the newly reelected president plans to take is VERY clear.
