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 4th May: from around 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/batch364

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 will be invisible to everyone. 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 364

I first wrote this song ten years ago, whilst travelling up through the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile. The words came first, the rhythm and melody soon afterwards. In 2012, I recorded a demo of the song in Coleg Harlech. This is a new version, recorded Easter, 2020.

Staring At The Stars

Soft skin on ice
Soft skin on ice
When I'm cold in the morning

Soft skin on ice
Soft skin on ice
When I'm cold in the morning

Well I wake up to my dormer 
Think I'm going mad again 
Just the sun was rushing in, it keeps me warm
Lift me up into your arms tell me something I don't mind
Cold in the morning

Soft skin on ice
Soft skin on ice
When I'm cold in the morning 
Soft skin on ice
Soft skin on ice
When I'm cold in the morning 
When I'm cold in the morning

It's hard enough to lever 
Living in this mangled mess, melted murmours in my chest 
I'm frozen sane
I'm frozen insane 
Lift me up into your arms tell me something I don't mind

Soft skin on ice
Soft skin on ice
When I'm cold in the morning 
Soft skin on ice
Soft skin on ice
When I'm cold in the morning
Soft skin on ice
Soft skin on ice
When I'm cold in the morning


‘Ice’ - is the aftershocks and residue left behind from trauma, It's the scars that still cause pain long after they have closed over. "I'm frozen sane" "Im froze insane" It is the worst of both worlds that you have no control over!"

'I wanted to create a family of songs, I needed an open space to be able to get different aspects of my mind out!

I wanted to make something new, something not everyone will like, but they all will respect it. Music is my way of communicating with people and the world.'
Sam Wickens

Okay Smart Guy

Jake is a one-piece maker of music influenced by many a British band. Think; The Beatles, The Smiths, Oasis, Stone Roses etc.

The aim is clear. To make real music the way it should be and give it back to the people that make it all possible. No one else seems to be making decent music anymore, so why can't I?

Currently writing and recording songs in a shed down the bottom of the garden so more tunes will get added as we go.

Currently Unsigned so err, ya'know. Here I am.
