Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 16 April: from 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/batch279

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it is likely 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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 279

Just an anti war hippie dippy tree hugging type thing

BOMBMASTER MASTER

Final track from the 'OUTLIERS' EP

"The more alarming of the two words in Some Villains’ name isn’t its noun. It’s that determiner “Some.” It implies that there’s a formidable current of evil out there, but these four Englanders are no cause for concern. Comparatively, they’re benign, operating somewhere between the borders of villainous and just. The band’s villainy is small cog in some nefarious machine hell-bent on churning out dismay and dread; they’re only a blip on the radar, the lesser of many, many evils. They’re just some villains, nothing more.

“...songs with a memorable, timeless quality...uniquely British, eccentric and compelling”
Chris Twomey, Shindig! Magazine

“This London duo have clearly come of age on a steady diet of Magical Mystery Tour era Beatles, Arthur-era Kinks, Small Faces circa Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake and other fine influences. But there’s a pleasing DIY sensibility that suggests Cleaners From Venus with a larger budget”
Bill Kopp, Musoscribe

"...lovely..."
Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6
