Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 15 March: 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/batch399

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 399

Wouldn't It Be Good If We Talk To The Trees

Streets full of houses bolted, barred, blinds drawn tight, no lights, no cars,
No room to let, I’m home again. 
Home for heroes after war / to see what they were fighting for

HOME FOR HEROES

bones is a song about the heartbreak and guilt when letting someone go, but ultimately realising if it was meant to be, it would have been.

bones

A relaxing acoustic melody created in the early hours. A song of love and longing. It will carry you away into those memories you didn't even know you had.

Late Night Memories

A melancholy tune reminding us all of days gone by. With a happy undertone of summer vibes.

Nostalgia

Roamer is out now!

Fresh On The Net is a music blog hosted by Tom Robinson and Team Freshnet, offering independent artists an open door and a level playing field for their music. Our inbox is open at http://freshonthenet.co.uk every Monday to Thursday morning - if you share a track with us there it will be heard by every member of our moderation team.

IMPORTANT: 
Only send ONE track, and make sure the dropbox says "OPEN".  Sorry, but tracks sent while the dropbox is closed - or shared drectly with this Soundcloud account - will not get heard.

British indie Pop/Alternative singer, songwriter and producer, born in Athens, Greece who grew up on the island of Kefalonia, Greece and Blackpool, England. I try to write songs which listeners can relate to.  HOL turns 20, returning in 2023 with the powerful Lipstick Muse combining dreamy vocals with rock riffs.

HOL has been making music for over 5 years. From 80’s Rock to Folk and everything in between, HOL crosses the barrier of musical style.  She could easily be categorised as genre fluid. Her sound is unique and artistically distinctive.
 
Lipstick Muse is HOL’s 1st release of 2023, and it doesn’t disappoint with a reminiscence of 80’s shoegaze bands such as Chapterhouse and Lush, it brings together HOLs lyrical talent for telling a story many can relate to. Her idiosyncratic ability to unite opposing forces, empathy and sarcasm, hostility and pleasure unfolds within the narrative. The track takes over the feelings experienced when you’re not able to get someone out of your head even when they’re out of your life. The sad truth of a relationship gone wrong which was actually “never meant to be”!
