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 16 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/batch440

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.

LYRICS
Panic stations, it feels like vertigo
Might be misreading it but even so
Did you ever notice that idea start to grow?
Misinformation on the radio

I don't like it but you reap what you sow
So misleading with that puppet show
My advice is to forget what you're told
Shout and kick and scream until our blood runs cold

Nothing to prove nothing to lose
And if you take that like you're on the outside looking in

Give me something with meaning
And I will show you something to believe in
But if you just try and deceive me or mislead me
You better run before the claws come out

Hazy illusions are clouding up the sky
All those visions leave you asking why
My intention is to live and let live
Give everything you've got till you've got nothing to give

Nothing to prove nothing to lose
And if you take that like you're on the outside looking in

Give me something with meaning
And I will show you something to believe in

But if you just try and deceive me all the lies that you hear blurring out your TV
It is your mission to heal division so go and rally all the people who will listen

Panic Stations

Inspired by the work of Phillip Glass

Recorded at Campbell Road Studios in Brighton by Ree Melody in October 2021

Run Little Rabbit Run

Amy Fitz Doyley is back releasing brand-new music on International Women's Day 2022, with her third single release, Eye Of The Needle. 

With deep, heartfelt music produced by Stew Jackson (Massive Attack), drenched in emotion and heavy guitars, this track takes her completely out of her comfort zone. 

The song plays on the light and dark of our universe, and her vocals are guaranteed to put you in a spell!

LYRICS
Cracked skin within black ice
Stoney eyes he's a killer done it twice
Rope round my throat
Bodies on the floor
Pale skin dressed up for war

Gaps in my mind bring me back to you
Empty shell stark reality

There's no light and no love
No end

Times may change you gotta free your mind
A needle through my eye just to clear the skies
Broken bones dusty meadow
Carpet burns we've lost the battle

Open your eyes you gotta get with it
Blinded by faith you gotta move quick
Kick to the heart
You know you've fallen

There's no light and no love
No end

Drag Behind

Out of The Sun

KEEF's latest single 'DAY IN DAY OUT' is based on the monotony of daily life when chained to the repetitive cycle of work and trying to pay the bills. It comes from personal experience of feeling trapped and having the desire to escape the vicious cycle. All of KEEF's songs and lyrics come from their experiences of life and what they experience on a daily basis. They are passionate about their music and lyrics and want to express themselves to a wider audience. Interlaced through their rhythm is the northern mersey beat sound they were all influenced by and exposed to from an early age.

Day In Day Out

‘So You Think’ is a laid-back jazz track featuring some serious piano chops, swinging upright bass, and a chihuahua.

I wrote it together with my friend Becci Wallace, an amazingly talented Glaswegian artist.

’So You Think’ is our response to society’s expectations of women. To stay young and beautiful. To leave the technical stuff to the guys. As you may have guessed, we don’t think so!

I hope you’ll enjoy the track as much as we enjoyed writing it! :)

So You Think

'a song about finding the courage to leave.'

Lyrics:
I’ve made up my mind
Darling, I’m not coming back
It’s about time
We let it all go

All I wanted was
Honestly, honestly
And that’s what I told you from the start

We had some high hopes
We had some high hopes
So what have you done, dear, what have you done?
We’re back to where we started from now
When we had some high hopes

I know there are words left unsaid
But I’m too tired of trying, of trying
So I’ll keep them all up in my head, love
What’s the point in fighting now?

We had high hopes but
Honesty’s what I need
So why did you keep me in the dark?

We had some high hopes
We had some high hopes
So what have you done, dear, what have you done?
We’re back to where we started from now
When we had some high hopes

We had a great few months
And I’m gonna miss you now you’re gone
I’m on my way back home now
And this is the hardest thing I’ve done
We had a great few months
And I’m gonna miss you now you’re gone
I’m on my way back home now
And this is the hardest thing I’ve done

We had some high hopes
We had some high hopes
So what have you done, dear, what have you done?
We’re back to where we started from now
When we had some high hopes

High Hopes

I'm With You

'Congo Solar' is the A-side of Grandbaby's debut 7" release, coming out on April 1st (though it's no joke) on Seattle's 'Wax Thematique' label. It's available to pre-order now from www.waxthematique.com.

Written, performed, produced and recorded in an underground WWII bunker ("The Crunch") in the English countryside, Jason Baldock’s “Grandbaby” project isn’t as cuddly as it’s cheeky name would suggest. In fact, it’s a take no prisoners, uncompromising approach to mostly-instrumental songcraft. Grandbaby's debut 7" bursts with feverish energy, formidable synth lines, crunchy/catchy guitars and an unearthly brilliance for drum break expertise most session musicians would kill for.

Grandbaby - Congo Solar

I found this Northumbrian pipe tune in a manuscript. It's called 'Over the Border' and I think was about Hadrian's Wall. I got a slight obsession with the sound of this tune, and the idea of borders. How humans perceive and create borders which do not exist in nature, and what this means for the world.

If you like the track and you want to support me to make more music, you can buy it here cheap as actual chips: https://frankiearcher.bandcamp.com/track/over-the-border
