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 2nd October: 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/batch543

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

Yet another stabbing in London on April 39, 2024. A 14 year old dies. When will it stop.
 
RIP Eva White, stabbed to death in Liverpool. 

Eva, just 12, one of a growing number of young people killed by knife or by gun.

Merseyside Police said officers found Ava collapsed on the ground with "catastrophic injuries" in Church Alley.

‘Knife and Gun Crime, what a waste, what a terrible waste of innocent lives’.

That’s the chorus of a brand-new single released by Johnny Dysfunctional ‘Knife & Gun Crime’ a song bemoaning the fact that knife crime has hit a record high in the UK and in London robberies are up by 70 per cent and muggings by 50 per cent.
There were 248 murders using a knife or sharp instrument in the UK in the 12 months up to September 2020. Twenty-four of those were children under the age of 17.
The charity 'No to Knives!' says: “Carrying a Knife in the belief that if will only be used to defend is 'foolish'.  
“Many terrible injuries and fatalities have been caused when the persons own knife has been taken and used on them.  To carry a knife is putting yourself and others in serious danger!
Many critics cite much street music as encouraging violence and gang ‘warfare.’
Dysfunctional sings his song from the perspective of a victim asking for their life to be spared.

KNIFE & GUN CRIME (WHAT A WASTE OF INNOCENT LIVES) Johnny Dysfunctional

A mood piece intended to convey the confusing nature of dreams, the memories that sometimes insert themselves, & the emotions evoked.

Dream Shift

Full Grown Man

Hungover, looking like I’ve been dragged backwards through a cement mixer
Paler than a ghost with eyes the size the fucking craters
If Ugly Betty’s ugly, then what does that say about me?

Mars Rover, waking up alone with no one’s head over my shoulder
I wouldn’t have it any other way but now I’m older
This single bed looks funny, probably says lots about me

I don’t think about it too much
Just every waking moment
Send me to sleep, or sell me some weed
If the edge is off I’m golden

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ugly Betty

With two major wars - one in the Middle East and the other in the Ukraine already the talk is of what spark will fire World War Three.
Then what will the Silent Majority do then? Will they go on watching TV? Think nothing can be done.
Johnny Dysfunctional visits one such individual to see how he is coping on the eve of destruction in 'World War Three & Apathy.'

WORLD WAR THREE & APATHY Johnny Dysfunctional

shauna Mc Ardle - Scenes of space

“LITTLE BOYS” is a bold and unapologetic anthem that tackles the themes of immaturity and self-worth, delivering a message of strength, independence, and emotional growth. With its catchy hooks and a dynamic blend of indie-pop and contemporary elements, the song captures the frustrations and realisations of growing past toxic relationships, reclaiming your power and knowing when to walk away.

Hannah Mazey - LITTLE BOYS

We are told people cannot stop over eating. The Government collects massive tax returns from TV food advertising and spends relatively little issuing government health warnings and insisting that soon the fat will not be treated unless they eat healthily. Double standards ..
