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 12 June 2023: 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/batch492

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.

Lyrics:

Listen to the waterfall flow
It will tell you all you need to know
Listen to the waterfall

Listen to the bumblebee fly
Don't let this moment pass you by
Listen to the bumblebee

All roads no longer lead to Rome
But if you follow your heart
Any road will take you home
Take you home

Slow down slow down stop now
Let your heart rate drop now
Remember you are alright
Right now

The past has past and
You know you'll face the future somehow
So listen to the waterfall
Waterfall

Listen to the waterfall flow
It will tell you all you need to know

Waterfall

Waterfall ( with Bonetender )

Red Flags (feat. Montaigne)

Recorded at Catalyst Studios with Sugar House who have also produced tracks for The Sheratons, Viola Beach & Venus Grrrls. Darker than previous releases, Strangers is about a need to adjust who we are when speaking to different people. Everyone can be a stranger when no one sees the real you.This can be both incredibly isolating or potentially exciting, depending on which way you look at it.   

Lyrics
Strangers Lyrics 

Make a sound, fill the gaps as you start your day
Slippin’ away 
Play the game, stay away but she’s looking like she wants to, don’t you? 
You’re getting in the way
You’re getting in the way

All the nights light up when she’s talking to us 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to strangers 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to us 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to strangers 

Looking round and you’re wondering why you’re dancing slow
That wasn’t your goal
Play the game make or break cause she’s looking like she wants to, don’t you? 
You’re getting in the way
You’re getting in the way

All the nights light up when she’s talking to us 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to strangers 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to us 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to strangers 

All the nights light up when she’s talking to us 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to strangers 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to us 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to strangers 

All the nights light up when she’s talking to us 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to strangers 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to us 
All the nights light up when she’s talking to strangers

Uproot Broken Family Tree (Swamp Funk mix)

Fresh off their support slot for Reverend & The Makers and ready for the release of their new track ‘Jealousy’ which has already been championed by Jericho Keys at BBC Introducing as:

“Absolutely mint. The best thing Nalgo Bay have released to date.”

Hailing from Cayton, home of salt licked cliffs and salt covered chips are NALGO BAY, a fiery hook driven indie rock outfit, oozing with Northern pride, drive and ambition. 

Take Fleetwood Mac, add grit, roaring guitars and a dash of cheek from the edgy dual vocals and NALGO BAY is what comes out. Featuring Terri-Ann Prendergast (bass, vocals), Harry Bullen (guitar, vocals) and Jon Dawes (drums) the band sit comfortably somewhere between Florence & the Machine, Foo Fighters & The Subways.

NALGO BAYS songs hit hard with big hooks, lyrical wit & fearless northern spirit.

“Delivered in an unapologetically Northern accent, NALGO BAY are proud and bold and it is utterly compelling.”
