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 1st June: 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/batch368

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 will be invisible to everyone. 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 368

Have Fun In Your Workplace

A song I wrote in the past few weeks called "That's Just Time".

That's Just Time

A song I wrote recently called, "Everything Will Be Alright Tonight". It's the first song I've recorded with this many layers/instruments.

There's a drum sample running through, 2 vocal tracks, 3 guitars and a bass guitar... Enjoy :)

Everything Will Be Alright Tonight

This is a track I wrote in late 2014 and was recorded with 'The Real Junk Food Project' for charity, along with many other talented local musicians. The song was released as part of an album which is available to buy here. Please check it out and have a listen to these great tracks, all released for charity :)

Last Chance For Gas

Again is a mellow but uplifting folk song about the power of hope, doubt and imagination when falling in love. The age old conflict of "he loves me, he loves me not”...

Additional music by Anil Sebastian and Sam Vicary
Produced by Anil Sebastian and engineered, mixed and mastered by Cherif Hashizume
Recorded at Cafe Music Studios, London

Hopefuls

Cafe Disco

It's never been easy for us my dear,
To understate a thing or two.
It's been a long road of hardship, of pain and tears,
But I'd walk it all again just for you.

A fool and his money are easily parted,
And a fool and his heart even more.
I've been climbing to reach you for so damn long,
But I never quite get off the floor.

I'll be a fool for you,
'Cos no-one loves me, the way you do.
I'll be a fool for you,
I'll make a sacrifice, until the day I die.

I'm all alone out here my dear,
There's no-one here to hear me shout.
I'd look for a place I could make my home,
But I'm in space and I'm freaking out.

Out of all the places that I could go,
And all the things that I could do;
When there are so many different infinite choices,
And the only thing I choose is you...

I'll be a fool for you,
'Cos no-one loves me, the way you do.
I'll be a fool for you,
I'll make a sacrifice until the day I die.
I'll be a fool for you,
'Cos no-one moves me, the way you do.
I'll be a fool for you,
Until the day I die...the day I die.

And I know that some things ain't meant to be,
But there's a feeling I get when you're close to me;
And this foolish old heart that's inside of me,
Just keeps me hanging on...

I'll be a fool for you,
'Cos no-one loves me, the way you do.
I'll be a fool for you,
I'll make a sacrifice until the day I die.
I'll be a fool for you,
'Cos no-one loves me, the way you do.
I'll be a fool for you,
I'll make a sacrifice until the day I die.

I'll be a fool.
I'll be a fool for you,
I'll make a sacrifice, until the day I die.
I'll be a fool.

Harriet Who

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 Harriets are a Leeds-based alternative pop and rock four-piece, fronted by lead vocalists Daniel Parker-Smith and Ben Schrodel. They are joined for live shows by Jess Womack on keys and Ryan Bailey on drums. With accomplished songwriting, unmistakable three-part vocals and a live show that lifts the soul, they are making waves in the UK music scene. 

After being nominated for Glastonbury Emerging Talent and Record Store Day Unsigned in 2019, the band released their 2020 debut album ‘Hopefuls’ to great success. International sales in Europe and the US, a four-star review by Rolling Stone Magazine DE, airplay on BBC Radio and a regional TV feature have given the band a new platform for their music.

Their new EP 'A Little Something,’ out 7 May 2021, collects five radically different songs in one concise package. It  points toward an exciting new songwriting direction for the band, with a renewed focus on arrangement and lush chamber pop orchestration, while retaining the band’s characteristic vocal harmonies.

The EP will be released with a limited CD run exclusive to Bandcamp, as well as digital stores including Spotify. The band are also launching a subscription service via Bandcamp, beginning April 2021.

For fans of: Big Star, The Lemon Twigs, Belle and Sebastian, Squeeze, Foxygen, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Paul McCartney and Wings.

‘Irresistible’ - ⭑⭑⭑⭑, Wolfgang Doebeling, Rolling Stone Magazine DE

‘I challenge you not to instantly fall in love with ‘Cafe Disco’ and The Harriets. This is a song to take you straight back to youth. A great live band too!’, Glastonbury Emerging Talent.

"To me, their song television sounds like a lost classic recording from This Is: CBGB’s era New York, which in my book is high praise indeed”, Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music.
