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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 543

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

Everybody (Wants to be Somebody)

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

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

When she first gave me coldsores
On a park bench in Walsall
I remember the feeling
As the last of the light 
Dripped with might 
From the palms of the evening
Like a psalm on the ceiling
Of her home, of her home

I love those common things I do with her
TV at six o’clock is de rigueur
Don’t need to fall apart to works of art
Don’t speak no Portuguese in the dark

And we can’t be romantic
Cos we don’t live in France yet
Get our kicks from the frantic
Little movements of feet 
As I gallivant she keeps an atlas
Sleeping under the mattress 
So I’m home, so I’m home

Don’t need to run along to Chittagong
Don’t need to get to Delhi or Geelong
Don’t need to throw a coin into a fountain
Don’t need to digress in the Spanish Mountains
Don’t need to trek from Santander to Bilbao
When I’ve got this better way to find out how
Cos I love those common things,
I love those common things,
I love those common things,
I love those common things.
