Jack's House

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 8th September 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/batch580 

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.

Eugène Pottier, was a refugee from the Paris Commune, who wrote the poem 'The International' in June 1871 while in hiding in the aftermath of the massacre of the Communards. This song's lyric is adaptation of Charles H. Kerr translation from the original.

Arise!

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise

Father to Son

'Listen More' is a song written by and dedicated to Eileen's Mother. It was written during the lockdown times when she could no longer visit her Mother in person. This song turned out to be one of our very favourite tracks to play live and Eileen always tends to start a performance of 'Listen More' by saying 'I didn't actually say some of the words in this song as that would have been mean'  and it is Track 9 on our newly released second album 'Lost In Good Intentions.'

This is the house that Jack built
