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 10th March 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/batch562

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.

Full Inbox: Batch 562

Our moderators listened to every track we were sent this week and have picked their favourites for your listening pleasure this weekend:

HOLD ME BACK
The coldest war
A stranger can keep me warm at night
In my arms 
You have no chance against my silent fight

The signal came and I was bound, oh
I held you close and shot you down, oh


Hold me back cos I can't stop falling
I can't stop falling over
My tears are black and I can't keep going
I can't go for much longer
Baby you kissed me, you held me, you saved me
I can't stop falling
Baby I pushed you, I played you, betrayed
I can't stop falling 

A battle is won
And all i feel is pain inside
The smoking gun
Starting burning in my mind


I can't recall the other guys, no
And your face haunts me day and night, oh..

We were just 19 
We were just part of the machine
In another world 
We'd simply we a boy and a girl



Hold Me Back

Even When I’m Not With You

Death Of An Executioner

Available everywhere digitally/worldwide:

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/mayday-single/id829280991

A song about the end of your world.. or was it just the end of a beautiful relationship?

MAYDAY
Dance with me
Tango on broken dreams
Don't let me sleep 
I dare not wake
Has the world
Finally lost its way
Tell me not that this mess
Is from my duress

Walk with me across debris
Take a promenade
We shot ourselves down
We ran aground
It's sabotage

Mayday! Mayday!
Do you copy me
I'm feeling incomplete in the world you made for me
Mayday! Mayday!
Can you hear me now
Cos I'm counting
And baby we can't stick around
There's no more time for you and I
This is goodbye

Lie with me
On parachute silk so fine
My valentine
Sweet cyanide 
Final request
Fuck the SOS
Spare the radio waves
We can't be saved


Mayday

"À travers des lunettes roses", written by Khristin Schenk.
Lyrics:
Les étoiles brillent et je suis réveillé.
Nuit calme, aucun bruit pour la troubler.
Le clair de lune emplit l'espace vide, enfin, il essaie quand même.
La vie en rose

Le coin le plus reculé de mon esprit.
Sur le bout de ma langue.
Qu'est-ce qui compte comme « bien » ?
J'en prends un.

La paréidolie à son paroxysme.
Je ne vois pas tout ce rouge à travers un rose aussi joli.
La vie en rose

The Handles Turn

Bulletproof

Afterthought

‘Who I Am’ delves into the psyche of a delusional, narcissistic man trapped in a false reality. Gritty, hazy, and dark, the track explores his inability to see his own flaws, instead blaming his past lovers for not understanding him. With furious choruses, honest vocals, brooding gothic melodies, and conflicted lyrics, this alt-rock anthem paints a haunting portrayal of self-deception and a fractured identity.


Who I Am

Sohodolls - Thread

chaos

strangers-proderics [original]

Reason, written on my friend's piano tucked away in London Fields. In that moment, I so wanted to convey the feeling of being vulnerable for the first time in so very long. Slowly freeing and releasing the strands that I’d kept hold of so tightly; but also the song being a gentle internal request to those I've been able to open up to, to please tread softly, to go easy, with my heart.

Reason

Lyrics:

Call myself a writer don't know what to say
Sat under the light in my brother's old bay
He feels much brighter wish I'd gotten that
I'm left with the whites of my eyes from my dad

Call myself a fighter I'm left with no tank
Sat under this light of the lamp coming blank
I feel much tighter than two years ago
My body's not right it's left dark in my soul

Leave me
Breathe me.

Call Myself A Writer (demo)

Distant Echo was written especially for this year's Piano Day, which is organised by pianist Nils Frahm. Piano Day is organised to celebrate the piano in all its guises and takes place on the 88th day of the year (the number of keys on a piano), which this year is March 29th.

The track reflects something of the dark mornings, tumultuous episodes and occasional serenity it was written within.

Master of Fine Arts (feat. Frank Yola)

Howl is track number 3 on studio album release, 'Naked Truth', by Autumn Dawn Leader, an album crowdfunded by friends and fans of the artist and recorded at Deadline Studios in Leicester. After years of make-do home recordings, Autumn wanted the chance of leaving a proper legacy, the gothic and prog-influenced album she was always meant to make, to showcase her powerful vocals, unique music, and emotive lyrics to their best. Thanks to the generosity of many who wanted this to happen as much as the artist herself, the album is now out and ready to reach its audience, to fill the ears and touch the hearts hearts of discerning music lovers everywhere. This song is a primal cry, woven with epic feels, and was inspired by the artist's struggle with BPD - Borderline Personality Disorder.
