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 5th March: 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/batch275

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it is likely 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 may resubmit the track in future.

Maribelle

No Great Shakes

Mr Solo combines deep synths with twangy guitars to bring you a modern indie-pop sound, you just can't help having a dance to.

Mr Solo

Come Back came to me while I was writing on the piano one beautiful spring morning. The story is about how most of us catch ourselves talking to the ones we love when actually for all sense and purposes, they are not really there, or are they?
If they are, then I say, Come Back and talk to me again.

Come Back

lyrics:

i'm ready for the punch 
but it may never come 
that's how i live my life 
terrified & dumb 

something has gone missing 
or never was there at all 
i've never felt desire 
for anything at all 

i don't know what to tell ya 
that i haven't said before 
i feel the same old feelings: 
it's like a kick on the floor 

why'd you tell me that you need it 
and then go off, disappearing? 
why'd you tell me 
'bout your real love? 

hopin' that 
you'd see it 
i've spent 
years in secret 
all my life 
been keepin' 
all these li(v)es 
i still need 'em
