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 7th March: 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/batch439

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.

The Edge of the Land

The Edge Of The Land

An indie funk explosion of sunny day festival vibes.

Calm Down

Cowards

A lucid dream-like adventure where a godlike figure attempts to grant all of a person’s wishes by carving them all kinds of exciting things out of the clouds. But a sad dog keeps appearing so the deity swallows the sky not understanding that the person wanted to confront the whole spectrum of their emotions, including the sad dog chasing them around.

Black Dog

Track one from ep1, the follow-up to amateur theatre group's debut album, races 1990 - 2021. The four-track EP is the beginning of a string of releases planned for 2022, including a second album towards the end of the year. ep1 is out 18 March 2022.

It's A Lie

The Shop

When Im out walking in the countryside I often look up & see The Common Buzzard that as made an astonishing come back.
The "comeback" of the common buzzard refers to its successful recovery as the most common bird of prey in the UK, after being persecuted by gamekeepers and declining due to pesticide use in the mid-20th century. Legal protection and a reduction in pesticides have allowed populations to rebound, and they are now found almost everywhere in the country. This recovery is considered a major conservation success story. 
So back to the idea of the song which was recorded June 2024.
Crows pursue common buzzards a behavior called mobbing to defend their territory. By harassing the buzzard, the crows try to drive it away from their nest site, which is a common defense mechanism for many birds. 
I can never understand why the powerful buzzard just doesn’t turn and take the crow out with it’s incredible sharp talons. 
The idea I have linked to dating and trying to free yourself from the worst  brief two dates of your life yet she still persists in pursuing the third one.
Chasing you down just like the Crow with the Buzzard.
Hope this makes sense as my imagination always tries to think outside the box with lyrics.
Conscience Of Kings gives you ….

The Buzzard and the Crow 

V1
Just like the scratches you left down my back 
There a reminder of our brief past 
I turn my  talons to be a  lethal assassin 
ever time I looked up that never happened 

Chorus 
You are the crow
Me I am the buzzard 
Fly away from me
My brief lover x2
It’s time to let me go
Cause I am the  buzzard 
And you, you are the crow 

V2 
The first night we met the  warning signs were there 
Sharing platter not shared you  got tequilaed and fell of the chair 
I gave you the benefit of  first  date nerves 
I anit saying what happened second date was  absurd 

Chorus 

Lead break 

Outro 
The carrion crow 
who just won’t let go 
As I try and fly 
into the open sky
Your in pursuit 
following my route 
The buzzard and the crow 
Is there something that they know 
That’s me and that is you 
It’s over we’re done we’re  through
