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 22 July: 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/batch334

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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 334

Swallow (Gary Go x Koates, Sheldrake)

Upside Down On The Monkey Bars…

Sun is up – we climb out your bedroom window 
& sit on the roof of your kitchen 
& see children bouncing on their trampoline
Only interrupted by the chimes of the ice cream van
Sun is up – I hear The Stone Roses ‘Waterfall’ drifting over rooftops
& everything feels so much nicer, everything looks so much brighter 
Let’s hose down the bikes & go for a ride…

& I don’t want this day to end whilst you are here with me
& I don’t want you to go home or go in for your tea
Coz you have turned my whole world upside down as far as I can see 
So just stay hanging from these monkey bars here with me… 

Sun is up – see the pigeons jostling on the Car Wash roof
We watch the insects buzzing here & there & everywhere busying themselves in the summer air - I beat my personal best at ‘Keepy-uppy’
Sun is up – it’s a vest & shorts & flip flops kinda day
Beer garden weather – tattoo’s on display
People mowing lawns & whiling away their day in different ways

& I don’t want this day to end whilst you are here with me
& I don’t want you to go home or go in for your tea
Coz you have turned my whole world upside down as far as I can see 
So just stay hanging from these monkey bars here with me…

The BIG 5-oh! e.p.

Upside Down On The Monkey Bars by The Ramsden Squares.

Chancers & Rats

old school fuzzy sabbath style riff with melodic vocals and an uplifting alt rock chorus

Believe Nothing Hurts:

Your lies
As they come in 
The lights will shine onto you
Listen to their lives
And as they come in 
The lights will shine onto you
Listen to their lives
This time, believe nothing hurts
Your lies
There's a thousand drowned
And the lights will shine onto you
Listen to their lives
This time, believe nothing hurts
Oh, your lies
As they come in
They're drowning now
In your own sweet precious melody of lies
As they come in
We're drowning now
In your own sweet precious melody of lies

Dance With The Hunted

Believe Nothing Hurts

Sunset on the city frames a skyline silhouette
That makes me think of New York
Although I haven’t been there yet
Seen so many movies feels like a second home
Where my mind is set to wander
My heart is free to roam
Is that love on the street corner
Is that love there at the bar
So I wait watch and I wonder
Who what wherever you are
Endless summer high
Watch the world go by outside your window
Under the neon sky
There’s a better life than the one we know
Endless summer high
So I’m hoping and I’m praying
That my footsteps will be straying
Close to where our paths will cross
Don’t let the feeling fade
That golden glow of anticipation
The moment before you take a taste
Your heart aligned with the constellation
No better time and place
Endless summer high
Watch the world go by beneath your window
Like a satellite looking for signs of life
Down below
Endless summer high
If every dream you ever had came true
What would you do
How would you fill your nights and days

Difficult Days

The Happy Pill Academy – “The Dragon EP”

The Happy Pill Academy is from London in the United States of Britain. This alternative reality project blends together character-driven lyrics, lo-fi riffs and a fresh perspective on alternative rock. Reminiscent of Nirvana / Eels / Beck, they are known for their energetic solo acoustic shows and post-grunge sensibilities.

The Dragon EP is one song served seven ways. A collaborative effort from The Happy Pill Academy and sixteen incredibly talented friends that took seven months from initial recording to piece together, track by track.

A song about a Dragon that doesn't want to be one any more. Allegorical, emotional and containing dark humour, this track was destined to be reinterpreted in myriad ways. Psychedelic, Stoner Rock, 80s Metal, Alt Rock and Electronic; all here in this electrifyingly eclectic EP.
