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 6th March 2023: 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/batch480

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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 480

Garbage Town

New Bones

There’s a man on my mind
And he sure isn’t mine
And you know what, that’s alright

I’ll stay up a little longer
Dance around the room
Till I’m dizzy with the thought of you

I won’t lie
I get lonely sometimes
I enjoy my own company, it’s quite worthwhile
To spend some time
Alone

But I’m unfocused
Started seven ideas today
None are my favorite
Went for a walk
I was constantly chasing my thoughts

And oo, even the thought of you
Sends me to pieces

Man On My Mind

Your Head's In The Sand

A poignant and deeply personal account of the aftermath of a breakup. It begins as a gentle ballad, "People are already walking in my house", builds to a pleading refrain, "Why did you go?”, and concludes with the pain of acceptance, “Feel like I missed my train”.

"Why Did You Go?" blends simple acoustic guitar with layered vocals and retro-inspired synths to create a hauntingly beautiful soundscape, which rises and falls in harmony with the emotional journey it imparts.

I watch the cars in front of us
just dying for something to do
but I wait our turn to move
while the trees explode in bloom
the fireworks fade soon
and the tv snow falls down

I'll fall fast asleep to last year's shows 
written beneath my eyes
I'll stay up all week watch the screen glow
and never leave my room
someone shake me please, just tell me to breathe 
then leave me the hell alone 
and lately I wonder why the sound of the phone, 
makes me want to die 

And anyways it's not like you care anymore 
so I've got what I had before
You're just another, You're just another
Face in this crowd
And anyways it's not like you care anymore 
so I've got what I had before
You're just another, You're just another
you're just another nerve 

Knives drill through my teeth and in my gums 
bleeding and numb and dying 
the color drains my cheeks and makes the whole world look
a little redder
and underneath the sun my limbs grow weak 
my eyelids fly and shudder 
it's the breath I feel in me down in my lungs
but no words come 

And anyways it's not like you care anymore 
so I've got what I had before
You're just another, You're just another
Face in this crowd
And anyways it's not like you care anymore 
so I've got what I had before
You're just another, You're just another
you're just another nerve 

'cause I'm scared of hearing your voice now
and I see your face in every nameless crowd 
and I don't know how to defend 
myself when it's do or die and I haven't felt alive till now
if you're afraid of me then you should know
that I'm just another coward
too afraid to throw your things away
these taped up boxes count the days
that we won't wake up face to face
and everything is wonderful 
until it's not but who thinks about that

we grow up too fast
we grow up too fast
we grow up too fast

Democratic Monkey was recorded in Chamber Studio, Edinburgh at the end of last year. It was meant to be released on the EP, Danger Moose, but ended up being released later as a single.

Democratic Monkey

it's gonna rain down on all of your dreams
and you're gonna lose what you thought you'd achieved
you jump and you skip down the paths that you take
but sooner or later you'll be left to your fate

for a minute i thought you were blooming inside
but the truth doesn't lay by your dull and selfish side
there must be a reason that the truth doesn't subside
your sweet little lies

it's gonna rain down on all of your dreams

surprise surprise, this one is longer than 1 minute
i know, i have outdone myself lol

thanks for listening! x
