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 16th December: 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/batch349

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 SoundCloud Go tracks, which 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 will also be removed.

Seasonal tracks will not be considered for the Listening Post, but will instead appear in a special playlist to be published on Christmas Eve.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 349

You're an Animal

I'm a Dinosaur

Change Your Mind

Quavers is about that run in at the bar with the one who outstays their welcome in every social interaction. It's about the men you meet who open with 'I'm not racist, but…'. It's written to out the bad behaviours of the trust fund babies whose actions force you into angry outbursts and confectionary theft.

It's a song written to play live and an experiment to see where our sound can go next, influenced by bands like Idles, Pulled Apart by Horses, The Streets, Courtney Barnett and Enter Shikari. It's meant to be turned up loud and screamed along to. We hope you enjoy it.

LYRICS:

no way
i came here to forget those things
i can't stay
but let me be un-cynical
for one more second
one more lightyear
one imploding sun
wherever this may go
it has begun

far away
far away from earthly troubles
life again
pirouettes among the corals
does every heart
does every alien
get the urge run?
wherever this may go
it has begun

a face you remember
and all those you forget
and then there’s everyone
you’ve never even met
but the question of scale
is easily dropped
as the face across the table
grows larger

no way
got no room
for any major changes
but take this thought wherever you want
and rearrange the furniture
my kidneys and my lungs
wherever this may go
it has begun

no way
and then i find a way of saying
maybe
and then i find a way of saying
yes please
and then i find a way of saying
change me
change me
change me

No Way

The Snow It Melts The Soonest - Amy Hopwood

I wrote out this huge four paragraph story about this song... 

but I erased it all. I think it's better if it speaks for itself. <3 

I wrote it to save myself. I hope you enjoy it.
