Year Spaceship Sampler

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 23 April 2018: from midday on Friday 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/batch280

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it is likely 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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

BBC Tees Introducing Track of the Week.

Not much like anything else I've written. 
For a cappella performance, three voices - spruced up in the recording. Trad style folk/soul.

Lyrics:

Oh love
The swallows took the summer far across the sea
The trees threw down a blanket of their dying leaves
And he said lie down, lie down

And oh love
The air was cold; my head was filled with cherry wine
The sun was bleeding out into the falling night
And I said I’m fine I’m fine

Now I’ve been drinking and thinking of you
And stood outside, smoke in my eyes, and wondering what to do

And oh love
I wrote a song for you: the words burst into flames
The candle’s in the window and it calls your name
Crying come home, come home
Come home, come home
But oh love
The river flows away, the sea beats back the shore
The north wind offers promises of so much more
And it says Slow down, Slow down
Slow down, Slow down.

Now I’ve been drinking and thinking of you
And walking down the darkest roads and wondering what to do

But love
The air is cold my head is filled with cherry wine
The sun is reaching out into the fading night
And I think I’m fine I’m fine I'm fine I'm fine

Oh Love

Amplify

A Hyena who's smoked 20 cigarettes a day for eternity, Taken to playing loud guitar, howling whilst jamming with his mates.

Dont Like The Zoo

Sea Master!

Analogue Tony

MATT MEREPORT - Analogue Tony

Sorry

Don Maple - Never Loved You Better

Frankensteining pop hooks with jagged fuzz and emo lyrics to create a hot mess of Alt-Rock noise you can cry and dance to

Formed in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the band is made up of Toronto born brothers Stuart Ledgerwood (Vocals/Bass) and Mike Ledgerwood (Guitar) along with their best friends Phil Wright (Guitar) and Adam Weston of Leeds based band Weaponess (Drums).

Bringing bundles of anxious energy to their offbeat live shows their lyrics allude to a love of pop-culture frequently using references to hide battles with self-doubt and depression behind a catchy hook and an upbeat facade.
