ny 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 29th April 2024 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/batch527

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.

Where Light Resides

"Let's just be friends" - a phrase every guy wants to hear... this song is a bonkers exaggeration of that frustration...  

Lyrics:

Do they notice us?
Do they even care what we do, what we want?
Can they find a way?
May they try to say,
That we know who we want to be.

And all the way down the road,
I walk into a fight,
A battle of which I've chose,
I want to see you tonight...

Cos' time is precious, and we're alone now,
To what you question, we get involved now,
I can't believe you, darling come on now,
Just move on over baby, I'm right here...

I believe in nothing, but I fucking love things,
All my attention on one obsession,
You smoke on my time, we should fuck on your time,
It's freeing my mind but my body's just left out in the cold,
So fucking cold!

Kiss From Argentina

Following a successful run of gigs and festivals in 2017 earning plaudits for their hypnotic live shows at Isle of Wight and Reading Festival, Brighton four piece 'Of Empires' are set to release double A-side singles, 'Waist Up in Gold' / 'Gunslingers' in 2018.

'Waist Up in Gold' leads with a middle-eastern psych hook, bolstered with a thunderous surf-rock pulse, themed by singer Jack Fletcher's spiritual trip into a hyper-real wonderland.

With ‘Gunslingers’, the subject is war and the media coverage that defines them. It explores the chaos of foreign intervention and the gung-ho approach akin to a spaghetti western. On a sonic level, the band anchors its garage rock sound and psych-pop hooks with raw, live and low-fi grit.

'Waist Up in Gold' / 'Gunslingers' is out NOW on all download and streaming platforms: https://fixmusic.lnk.to/ofempires

Fresh On The Net is a music blog hosted by Tom Robinson and Team Freshnet, offering independent artists an open door and a level playing field for their music. Our inbox is open at http://freshonthenet.co.uk every Monday to Thursday morning - if you share a track with us there it will be heard by every member of our moderation team.

IMPORTANT: 
Only send ONE track, and make sure the dropbox says "OPEN".  Sorry, but tracks sent while the dropbox is closed - or shared drectly with this Soundcloud account - will not get heard.

The freedom to choose the life you want is all within your hands.

Everything that we create, say and do in life echoes on in to eternity. The art we make, the things we teach our children, how we conduct ourselves and how we treat others. 

There are limitless possibilities in what we can choose to do. That’s as awe inspiring as it is overwhelming. It can be motivating or it can paralyse. As we get older, we have more demands on our time and possibilities seem to narrow. The sense of play and wonder can quickly evaporate. We have to be selective and mindfully dedicate our energy to things that gives us joy and a sense of meaning. To do that, we have to sacrifice and leave a lot behind.

‘All That We Leave Behind’, the new album, coming 31st May 2024.
