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 14th July 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/batch578

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.

A song about how you think about the object of your affection non-stop, all day every day, 24/7, day and night... and you wouldn't want it any other way

Every Day

Something Serious - Single

Let's be real, I wasn't very well when I made this melancholic, all-vocal track! I originally wrote it as one vocal accompanied by an acoustic guitar. I muted the guitar and started free singing over the top of it. The result is this full choral arrangement of 28 parts.

I didn't love performing in choirs as a kid, but it definitely fed my love of harmony. Thanks for listening.

More than one way

Written by Hannah Rose Platt & produced by Ed Harcourt - "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a visceral, industrial-infused soundscape that plunges listeners into the fractured psyche of a 19th-century writer and painter, silenced by a patriarchal prescription: the notorious “rest cure.” With searing vocals and mechanical, driving textures, Hannah Rose Platt resurrects the ghost of a woman forbidden to create, condemned to abandon her art, her words, even the solace of books, in a misguided attempt to cure postpartum depression.
This track is a defiant scream against creative repression, a haunting embodiment of psychological unravelling, and a powerful tribute to those who’ve had their voices stolen. Equal parts gothic and galvanizing, "The Yellow Wallpaper" blurs the line between historical horror and timeless truth.

HANNAH SAYS: 
‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ was inspired by Charlotte Perkins Gillman’s part memoir part fiction novella - about a woman confined to a room and forbidden to write, paint, or read as part of a so-called ‘rest cure’ for her postpartum depression. As she’s cut off from her creativity and autonomy, she slowly unravels, obsessing over the wallpaper in her room until she begins to lose her grip on reality. I wanted the song to feel sonically uncomfortable and claustrophobic, to reflect that mental confinement and loss of identity. I’d love for people to listen, and I really encourage everyone to read Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s powerful, still-relevant story.” – Hannah Rose Platt

With a vocal that's raw and honest, B of Briz confronts and consoles in this alt hip hop contemplation. In this melancholic retrenchment with a driving bassline, B asks: what happens when stuff’s gone really badly wrong? How do we resist and recover and regroup?  With broken beats, 'Profoundly sick society' is a dark and dystopic acknowledgment that's also full of hope.

Profoundly sick society

Blue is the night when you walk from my door
Golden the dawn you come back for more
Vermillion sunsets cerulean days
Indigo girls cut right through the haze
Of a thousand shades
Show me the colour of love's blinding light
Turning each skyscape into a starry night
Tone down the heartache
And build the intensity till everything glows
Vivid as La Vie en Rose
With brushstrokes from heaven above
Show me the colour of love
Tainted hearts frozen in time
Painted from memory in lemon and lime
Blue as midnight when you walk from my door
Golden the dawn, you want more?
Temeraire sunsets the Factory days
Vincents whole world with the night ablaze
Through that piercing gaze
Show me the colour of love
Let it bleed out from the canvas
The rain, steam and speed assaulting my senses
The pride and the passion, the glory and shame
Too much to hang in one frame
A crucified world from above
Show me the colour of love

THE COLOUR OF LOVE

These Days

LYRICS
Drinking from the serpent’s mind
A dying ouroboros out of line
Enemy of the pendulum swings
Pensive passing of all good things   
Well mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers too
Don’t forget the serpent well he’s mighty shrewd
 
Oh my my my I just woke up
Feeling fine cause I don’t give a fuck
Oh my my my I just woke up
Feeling fine cause I don’t give a fuck
  
Destiny is a fickle fiend
Making fun of our catastrophes
Bending to the parasites
The serpent’s tail wags for money’s might
So mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers too
Drink from the serpent’s mind it’s all you can do

Oh my my my I just woke up
Feeling fine cause I don’t give a fuck
Oh my my my I just woke up
Feeling fine cause I don’t give a fuck

Oh my my my I just woke up
Feeling fine cause I don’t give a fuck
Oh my my my I just woke up
Feeling fine cause I don’t give a fuck

Oh my my my I just woke up (oh my oh my oh ma-ma-my)
Feeling fine cause I don’t give a fuck (oh my oh my oh ma-ma-my)
Oh my my my I just woke up (oh my oh my oh ma-ma-my)
Feeling fine cause I don’t give a fuck

Drink from the Serpent's Mind

The Ride” is a high-octane, cosmic rock journey through chaos, faith, and inner battles. Set against a galactic backdrop of black holes, meteors, and fading stars, the song explores the emotional turbulence of surviving modern life’s darkness. With soaring vocals, gritty guitars, and cinematic intensity, it captures the feeling of being trapped in a "milky way of insanity",yet holding onto hope, purpose, and spiritual strength.

Blending elements of space rock, alt-rock, and soul-searching lyrics, “The Ride” is both an anthem for the broken and a prayer for the bold. It’s a raw, spiritual plea for power and perseverance in a world that feels like it’s falling apart. Buckle up, this is not just a song, it’s a survival mission through sound.

Let me know if you'd like a shorter version or one tailored for a specific audience (e.g., Spotify, sync licensing, etc.).
