Sync/Licensing

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 4th April: 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/batch443

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 443

Get Out

This track is based on static observations from the middle of my hallway, welcome to my home x

Title track from the EP "The Whole Hog" 

The Whole Hog

i remember meeting lauren
i remember meeting ivy
i remember meeting amy, then tara
i remember the first show i saw here
and war pigs in the lecture hall
play that champagne supernova solo again
i'll kill you

all in the wrong order
i remember cleaning up glass
smashing it too
no good mornings
and a reading of this tao lin poem
bring me my wine

i left myself in the river
i left myself in the river

i'm in a good place

i'm thinking of a colour
i'm thinking of the nice things
in the river

'Tower of Babel' was born of humming birds and the three years of viscous river ooze dripping from our mouths. a boschian tale of queer fertility, a line under everything, a nervous glimpse of something scurrying under the bed. all this and more explored throughout its monumental twenty minute runtime. this album stumbles naked from noise rock to hyperfolk, always completely delirious, vomiting darkwave and a kind of minimalism onto your lawn.

the first single is called 'manta ray'. something horrible has washed up on the shore, in your room, at the club, in this dream. in this dream i am running towards some glimmer of moonlight, hollow and completely out of my mind.

i am trying to break through to you, the listener; i want nothing more than to be the swirling vortex of feedback and pop sensibilities that you need me to be. this album is a part of that, i think. i hope there is something for you, no matter how brief. thank you.

I Need You To Understand

Another song I wrote from 1979. Played this song in various incarnations of guitar based bands throughout the early/mid 80's.

This is how I would have liked it in 80's electronic format if I'd had the chance.

Yesterday Once More - 80's - RD

The girl they call Daisy May

How many times have I heard those words
Work hard settle down,  find a nice girl
Don’t waste your time on silly little pipe dreams
They’re never ever what they seem

You can blow of steam on Friday night
But watch your mouth and treat those girls right
They’ve seen you around and think your a heartthrob 
But don’t give up your day job

Because it’s all you got 
to see you through
Happy’s just a word 
in a room with a view
and when your eyes are closed
and the lights are out
There’s nothing but darkness 
to dream about

It seems harder by the day
Listening to the words they say
But she’ll be my saviour one of these days
The girl 
They call Daisy May

Now so many people think they know best
They want to make sure your life’s just a mess
They’ll fill your head with their own mistakes
And tell you that it’s just to late

So move yourself away from the fast lane
Take it slow to avoid the pain
And if you want, you can pray to your god
But don’t give up your day job

Because it’s all you got 
to see you through
Happy’s just a word 
in a room with a view
and when your eyes are closed
and the lights are out
There’s nothing but darkness 
to dream about

It seems harder by the day
Listening to the words they say
But she’ll be my saviour one of these days
The girl 
They call Daisy May

Cause she’s the only one 
Who’ll see me through
Holding my hand
in this room with a view
Yeah she’ll be my saviour one of these days
The girl 
They call Daisy May

Yesterday Once More - Instrumental - RD

Back in the late seventies early eighties I frequented a club in Stonegate York. Thursday night if I remember correctly was 'Student night' this is a small insight into that club 'The Old World'

Remember student night 
in the Old World
Upstairs downstairs 
we were chasing those girls
Waiting for a second glance
A slow dance
Your last chance     
before the lights go up
Waiting for a second glance
Your last chance

There's a guy on the dance floor
dancing to cars
Thinks he's Gary Numan 
as he lip sinks the words
Waiting for the first sign 
The right time
That says 'She's mine'
Before the lights go up
Waiting for the right time

And as the disco ball 
spins around and round
reflecting the lights 
on a beautiful crowd
but all I can see 
is a wonderful girl
dancing on the floor in the 
Old World 

I loved the way she danced 
in her split skirt
She played with the buttons 
on my torn shirt
Waiting for the first kiss
Don't wanna miss
A moment like this 
before the lights go up
Waiting for the first kiss
And a moment like this

And as the disco ball 
spins around and round
reflecting the lights 
on a beautiful crowd
but all I can see 
is a wonderful girl
dancing on the floor in the 
Old World

“Acoustic laid back new wave punk indie folk with a sprinkle of deep meaningful day to day observations on how the world goes round and round and round and sometimes I actually notice this happening and decide it’s worthy enough to write a song about.”
- Kirby Howarth

"In the years I’ve been tracking the progress of York singer songwriter Kirby Howarth it’s been fascinating to hear him refining his approach and zeroing in on the sound he’s been hearing inside his head all these years.
As a result, his songs grow ever more focussed and appealing"
- Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6

" A strong collection of songs, well written and delivered. The vocal styling is distinctive and appealing - you connect emotionally with the listener."
