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 DATE 27th January 2025: 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/batch556

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.

Laid bare in your lair of desire, you lay so still, shudder.

REVEAL

Hitting Different

Overstimulated

‘Ambition Is Your Friend’ is the fourth single to be taken from the upcoming twelve track album ‘Ticking Haze’ landing in March 2025. It was a firm favourite at a recent Bandcamp listening party - jangling guitars likened to R.E.M at their catchiest, soaring layered vocals, and lyrics that encourage ambition as a quality we can all chase if we choose to.

Ambition is Your Friend

I'm so excited to share my latest single, Save the World. I'm really proud of this song and hope it reaches the people who will connect with it. I wrote it many years ago but didn't have the capacity to produce it at the time, I've learned a lot about production and this final version is mostly my own work, with some extra help from a very talented co-producer (Hattie Murdoch) who also mixed and mastered it to perfection. 

I hope the song conveys a message of hope in darker times, and that those who are often made to feel less than (or too much!)...the artists/thinkers/dreamers, the sensitive souls, people who see the world a little differently...are just the people we need to save the world. xx

Complete with remixes by Ronbot 3000 & Black Tooth

The Blue Blazer

Well, here's something very different for me - Here's a light and quirky acoustic #folk / #singersongwriter version of my sad song called 'Promises', with the amazing 3VSound (Ava Suzanne) on vocals.

I wanted the simplest (and hopefully most effective) string arrangement and quirky counterpoint vocals, and I think I got it. :-)
This track is out for a nervous spin to see if anyone likes it.
 
Updated and released in Jan 2025.

Promises - feat. 3V3Sound (Acoustic Version)

New Year 2024!!

Suggested For You

shauna Mc Ardle - Sleepy bass

Telling the story of the final terse and tumultuous few weeks of a long-term relationship, Bethany Weimers’ new single Heartbreaker Police is an alt-pop delight that combines her folk-influenced narrative style with energetic synths and drums, vivid lyrics and a sing-a-long chorus. It was written and produced by Bethany in her home studio and is the first track to be released from her upcoming EP which has been funded by a Help Musicians grant.

Heartbreaker Police

UNHAPPINESS

A trip down memory lane through the lense of an old guitalele, in the sounds of pop, jazz and singer/songwriting styles, with drums, guitars, bass and vocals.

Guitar With A Broken String

Superficially meditative and 'ambient', but conjuring alternating emotions of relaxation and tension, darkness and light.

Paramedic Jukebox Club

The Hierophant In The Room

A Joyful jaunty handpan tune evoking the joy of a sunny May afternoon. This tune bounces through melodic shifts and different time signatures to create a fun little celebration of spring!
