This one’s got soul written all over it. I felt that from the first second ❤️

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 3rd November 2025: 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/batch588

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.

Take me back. I still remember it perfectly.

Night we met (Take me Back) - (Acoustic)

Needless (2008) – Dealing with self-pity and doubts
Driven by an electric piano, Needless is an indie pop ballad that explores a silent heartbreak. Self-doubt can destroy the best relationship, especially when you feel inferior to your partner. Dreamy synthesizers meet picked acoustic guitars, an anthem for anyone who ever felt too small to be loved and chose to disappear.

Robot Recordings: vocals, guitars

► Lyrics ◄
Crossing the universe
breaking corners in the cosmos
this is how we are
no one knows where
nor where we are going

we are children of the stars
everything is connected
how is that possible?
is it a coincidence
mere chance, a God

The big bang of everything
a divine gift
divine cause
There is no point in thinking

Doubt is its companion
cousin sister of time
Friend of the hours
As the poet said
His wise words
relieve our being
#Cosmo #God #Universe #Star

I Broke Myself Today 

I broke myself today
Just to feel something real
Focused on the ache
It’s the only thing I feel
Piercing through the skin
That same old, burning sting
Tried to let it go
But I recall everything

Look at who I am
Dear, you're my only friend
Everyone I’ve touched
Leaves me in the end

You could take it all
My kingdom made of dust
I will let you down
I'll betray your trust

I wear this heavy crown
Sit on a throne of lies
Thoughts too torn to fix
Hope too dead to try
Time has stained it all
Worn love into disguise
You’ve become someone new
While I still haunt this life

See what I became?
Sweetest friend of mine
All the ones I loved
Left me with the time

So take it, have it all
My fortress built from hurt
I will fail you still
I’ll drag you through the dirt
If I had a chance
Far beyond the gray
I’d hold onto myself
And find another way



I Broke Myself Today

Dedicated to my wife Candice, together 23 yrs this October, married 19 years and 2 beautiful kids... to my darling, thank you 💘

****LYRICS****

She's got eyes the most perfect
Shade of green,
Her hair as golden as the wheat fields in spring,
When she looks at me, I know she's one,
Fills my heart with joy, for sure I'm in love....im in love 

She makes the nights short 
And the days long,
She makes the dark, light,
Makes , the weak strong,
She is my everything, puts me right when I'm wrong 

She's the one,  she's the oooooone
Makes me so happy 
She's the one... 

At times she drives me mad,
Makes me want to shout and scream,
Other times she makes me feel dizzy,
A love so rare, I treasure every day,
I hope we grow old, have a lifetime of memories 

She's the one,  she's the oooooone
Makes me so happy 
She,s the one...

She's The One 💘

this girl is a star , but she hate to be ..    non sense... but a real good song

► Lyrics ◄
Everything at the right level
Balance is natural
It's what keeps you standing
What makes you run
Makes you sit, makes you think

When something is wrong
In imbalance you fall
Like the moon in the sky
Your mind orbits your heart
Levels your tide
Low tide, high tide

No one is happy all the time
Respect the natural
Everything comes and goes
The turn that the day makes
The good air to breathe

In the night that does good
The dream in the good sleep
The difficulties that life brings
At the level of peace
Balance is made
#Rock  #balance #Peace #Respect

My First Farewell

NEVERLAND ft. Montae Bangzz (prod. SOGIMURA)

Taken from the forthcoming album 'Speaking in Code'.

Speaking in Code

Transmission fr. Nowhere

EPOCH is a brooding industrial techno track that channels the weight of debt and the endless cycle of entrapment it creates. Metallic beats and distorted atmospheres mirror the grind of financial struggle, while haunting vocals cut through with raw vulnerability. Dark, hypnotic, and cathartic, the track embodies the fight to break free from the chains that bind us.

EPOCH

Higher

Here's a special Halloween 2025 remix of 'Duck the scold' from the album Eldest Daughter Energy. Under the alternative title of 'Hail the Witch', the track has been remixed and mastered by Marc Jackson.

The song refers to archaic forms of punishment, such as the ducking stool, the scold's bridle and witch burning.

Written and composed by Never the Bridle

Guitars, bass, vocals: Never the Bridle
Drums: Martyn James
Mixing and mastering: Marc Jackson

Never the Bridle in interview with Mark Watkins: tinyurl.com/5n7frwf6

----------------------------------------

'Lessons' was a November 2024 Fresh on the Net 'Fresh Fave' and has been played on Exile FM and North Manchester FM.

'Lessons', 'Say it now', 'Over and out', and several more album tracks, have had Amazing Radio airplay and are airing on their indie, pop, and rock + metal genre streams.

You can now hear them along with the rest of the album: 'Eldest Daughter Energy'.

----------------------------------------

Solo singer-guitarist-bassist writing upbeat indie songs about anxiety and postpartum life. Keen to write for other artists.

I record the vocals, guitars and bass at home. Guest drums and production are by Martyn James.

The artist name is a reference to the scold's bridle, an archaic instrument of punishment primarily used on women.
