Here are some songs written by artists that i have discovered on Soundcloud, rock in all its glorious sub-genres.  if you like what you hear, please visit the artists' cloud - stay a while, listen some more & show them some love...  it is important to nurture emergent talent.

BRICK

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 14 September: from around 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/batch377

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 377

this playlist contains songs inspired by my time spent in the deep south... the swamps, the blues, the bayou, the southern vibe...  the hospitality, the mythology, the history, the blood spilled, the blood drank... the moonshine and the alligators.  the hearts broken and the silver bullets.  the spice and salty, the sweet and the heady.   it's beautiful down there.  God's country, the Devil's playground... call it what you will.  i call it my spiritual home.   if you like what you hear, go visit the artist's page and show them some motherfucking love...  thank you.  x

SWAMP THING

Love Blast 07 - Moonlite Bunny Ranch "Downer" 

Moonlite Bunny Ranch is a saxophone player and two dj/producers, born from the spine of the dark jazz ensemble Macelleria Mobile Di Mezzanotte: 
"Freeform Techno" with improvised patterns and no real clue where the music would go, like a rough jazz band playing slow techno. 
Their first effort, "Downer", is a 3-tracks EP combining analog synthetizers, digital effects, saxophone, hang drum. 
Mixed at the Subsound Studio in Rome by Luciano Lamanna and mastered by Andrea Merlini, "Downer" gets inspiration from the illegal brothels in no man's land in the South of the United States; the jazz funerals in New Orleans; the goat and the old lady.

Lyrics:

I smell the rain from valleys low
My tired soul
Where would you go
I tie my chains to where they say
The old men come
And die to pray
Nowhere to hide
You're melting inside

Like the gypsy sun 
I will be the one warming you
Like the gypsy sun 
I will be the one burning you x 2

My mother doesn't like her name
So who could I ever 
Dare to blame
Head on my knees
I try to see
The blossoming trees
The purple breeze
Nowhere to hide
You're melting inside 

Like the gypsy sun 
I will be the one warming you
Like the gypsy sun 
I will be the one burning you x 3

Askival

I used to date a man who I was clearly not compatible with. It got a bit hairy towards the end. He stole some of my stuff, destroyed some of my other stuff, and was altogether a right handful. Having said that, I'm no picnic to be with either so I understand how this mess became mine to clean. Still, it wasn't ideal and this song is about figuring out that at the end of the day both of us could and should do better finding a partner.

Honey

If you turn to me
I would not turn away, yeah
Come and ride the tide 
Rising up inside, yeah

Ooh, honey
Ooh, honey
Ooh, honey
Honey
Ooh now

It would be alright 
If you come tonight, yeah
Or I’ll go where you are
Forever isn’t far, yeah

Darling if you come and run away with me
Ever after happily
It would be a one-night stand like constantly
It’s true
Oh you

Ooh, honey
Ooh, honey
Ooh, honey
Honey
Ooh now

This Flight Tonight

Suzie Stapleton is an Australian-born alternative rock artist now based in the UK. She is known for electric live performances and guitar-driven noir soundscapes that cross into gothic-blues and alt-folk. 

Stapleton’s debut album ‘We Are The Plague’ was released in July 2020 on her own label Negative Prophet Records. The album was Voted Top 20 Albums of 2020 by Louder Than War alongside Jehnny Beth, Porridge Radio, Bob Dylan and more. She has received airplay on BBC 6, Absolute Radio, ABC, RTL2, Radio Eins and more. 

Stapleton self-produced the record which was mixed by Dan Cox (Thurston Moore/Laura Marling). Her band includes Gavin Jay (Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind) on bass, and Jim Macaulay (The Stranglers) on drums. 

Stapleton’s other recording projects include The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project (Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry, Nick Cave, and others) on which she performed vocals, guest vocals on two records with Lydia Lunch & Cypress Grove “Under The Covers” and “Twin Horses”, and an appearance on Crippled Black Phoenix’s latest release ‘Ellengaest’.

Stapleton has now settled permanently in Brighton, drawn to the sea and the pull of an ancestral tide - Stapleton’s grandmother was born in The Lanes in 1922, and her father grew up in the area.

"A dazzling debut album of guitar rock, fused with the primal spirit of blues and gospel... Blending the spirit of Patti Smith and PJ Harvey with the soul of Nick Cave and Mark Lanegan”

“Rich in texture and exquisitely executed"
