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 24th April 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/batch485

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.

Part Gold, Part Garbage - Before Division Order (2005-2016)

I Only Said

5th song from our debut EP To Crash And Burn. Official release 21st April.

There's A Way To Beat This

With raw instrumentation, tight harmonies and bursting positivity, Distant Stars encourages selflessness and how loving another can help us open up to the boundless beauty of the universe. Produced by Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene) and mastered by Julian Lowe (Faithless).

Distant Stars

One More Problem dives into the depths of self-esteem and our seeming inabilities in this day and age to respect ourselves. This track explores the journey of allowing yourself to like who you are, and attempts to dispel the negative thoughts we tell ourselves in order to avoid facing and overcoming the challenges we most need to. It explores topics such as Anxiety, Confidence and our inner demons. This song has already gained traction on Spotify (through playlists and algorithmic placements), with our debut music video being released this weekend (30th April)! We were also lucky enough to have this song produced by Scott Goodrich (Story So Far).

Indie rock band Riff Reign (North Notts/South Yorkshire) was established in 2014 to record material written by bassist David Wright.  Self-releases include nine full albums, a blues/rock EP, a retro rock EP and three Christmas singles.
David has his own indie/rock writing style, but his compositions stray into blues, country, jazz and retro pop rock.  His songwriting influences include Fleetwood Mac, Free and Graham Parker among many.  His main bass playing influences are Jack Bruce and Andy Fraser.

The band has had tracks played on BBC Introducing East Midlands and BBC Introducing Sheffield as well as being played on BBC East Midlands daytime shows during lockdowns.  David has had success in including tracks in a licensing contract with Heavy Hitters Music Group of Los Angeles, although nothing has yet been used.  One track 'Gotta Be A Reason' was played in RBS outlets. 

Band members are currently working with other musicians in a collective named ASSEMBLY.  An album was self-released in March 2023.      

Riff Reign's website is riffreign.co.uk.  Tracks can be heard on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZdasALn1WFjmhgbQi-uhWg
