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 5th June 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/batch491

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.

Bring Me A Little Love

Lyrics:
You left our party, 
The last one to go,
The eclipse was starting,
You were heading out into the undergrowth

I heard that a stranger, 
Found you laid down, 
Blue in the lips and,
Frost upon your clothes, on the edge of town

You were laying on a razor edge a half a mile away as I sat in bed, oh brother of mine, 
Autumn air became a part of you, in the afterglow, looking up into black holes in the sky

Stood over your bed,
Like a newborn, 
The fangs of a cobra,
Laying at the hooves of a fawn

When the sun moved over the crescent moon

You were laying on a razor edge a half a mile away as I sat in bed, oh brother of mine, 
Autumn air became a part of you, in the afterglow, looking up into black holes in the sky

You were laying on a razor edge a half a mile away as I sat in bed, oh brother of mine, 
Autumn air became a part of you, in the afterglow, looking up into black holes in the sky

Black Holes In The Sky

I've Been Here Before

Your Lullaby (SDC Remix) - Hannah Scott & SDC

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.

Jo Ash is a critically-acclaimed, award-nominated songwriter. Instantly recognisable, with unique vocals and intricate piano, her immersive music is full of strong melodies and drama. 

Her songs comment on life as she observes and experiences it, sometimes with wry humour, sometimes with heart-felt introspection, and sometimes with both. And when her imagination takes flight into the world of the unexpected they tell engaging stories of vampires, magicians and buried treasure! Audiences can’t get enough.

The Musician’s Union reviewed her debut album ‘Constellations’ and came up with 23 words that brilliantly sum up Jo and her art: “Singer-songwriter Jo Ash’s debut demands that we take notice. Jo’s balladry is unapologetically dramatic with swooping vocals perfectly suited to her gothic tales”. 

Jo has appeared on the BBC and other independent radio stations, and performs widely and regularly across the UK at festivals and other music venues. Her live appearances have a sense of theatre which she has honed over the years, and a measure of the strength of her audience appeal is that whenever she performs somewhere new she is always asked back.

As well as performing as a spellbinding solo act, Jo’s inner 'raaaar’ is on full show as song-writer and front woman of rock band Derecho with whom she’s played over 150 shows at festivals, clubs and other music venues across the UK. The band has released two studio albums and three EPs featuring Jo’s songs, and receives constant global radio airplay.
Derecho are: Jo Ash (piano/vocals), Mike Wheatley (guitar), Mike Ellis (drums), Steve Banks (bass).
