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 3rd October 2022: 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/batch461

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

Lost is a song about a big change of life and all the emotions and feelings that go with it.

Lost

HERE, TONITE is about taking control of your own life. The lyrics open with 'OK I get it, I start living in the present, I turned up, then came Armageddon'. Referring to the well known irony of finally feeling alright, then your life is turned upside down. It's a reminder to self that 'you are your own creator, pick up the reins and get off the conveyor'.

I want your head held high, I want you here, tonite.

HERE, TONITE

HEADLINE SHOW ON 17TH MARCH @ NOTTING HILL ARTS CLUB 
Harvey Jay Dodgson has returned with euphoric new single 'For The Love Of It' - listen here.

Brimming with youthful exuberance, it marries the most infectious elements of The Libertines, Vampire Weekend, Tom Grennan and Ten Tonnes, weaving assured guitar riffs with punchy percussion throughout its almost 3 minutes.

Speaking about the song Harvey says, “‘For The Love Of It’ is a statement about how music should be created and played … for the love of it. Not following a trend, being able to connect with others, not forcing the art for the primary motive of money. The production portrays this. Playful melodies, groups of chanting teens, rough around the edges as a whole - a song to shout out together with your mates.  My painting of why I make music for the love of it.’’

The new single also comes after recently being snapped up by Paradigm booking agency for live shows. Now represented by Alex Hardee (Liam Gallagher, Sia, Clean Bandit), Harvey will play a headline show in London on 17th March at the prestigious Notting Hill Arts Club. 

Freshly tipped by This Feeling and XS Manchester as One To Watch in 2022, 'For The Love Of It' is another taste of what's to come from the uber talented singer-songwriter’s debut EP, due for release this spring.  Bringing together raw lyrical work with driving instrumentation, it effortlessly showcases why the 20 year old is onto such big things.

Hailing from Portsmouth, Harvey had already seen a remarkable ascent even before releasing music officially -  being tipped and playlisted by BT Sport and playing the Isle of Wight Festival for This Feeling last year. 

'For The Love Of It' is available to stream now.

More Information on Harvey Jay Dodgson

Harvey Jay Dodgson started playing the guitar at the age of 7 and by 9 years of age had written his first piece of music. His early inspiration came after being introduced by older brother Neil to the music of Peggy Lee, Billie Holiday and the free-flowing vocal melodies of Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles. He says, "It instantly opened my eyes (or should I say ‘ears’) to a completely different sound of music." It was discovering the jazz-influenced artists, King Krule and Cosmo Pyke who inspired him to experiment further and he was soon ready to create his own music. 

 Tipped by BT TV and Scotts Menswear as ‘One to Watch 2021’ He has recently performed at the IOW Festival. He will be releasing his debut fully produced EP in 2022.

For The Love Of It

Moody, brooding verses with underlying filthy distorted bassline. Lyrically, highlights the toxically positive catchphrases which constantly drip into our ears.

LYRICS:
Smiles around town If you’re upside down
It’s joy division Rose-tinted vision
No elephants in the room 
Some have it worse than you

Can’t be happy when I’m sad 
Can’t see the good when it’s bad

Turn that frown around
There’s silver linings in every cloud
You gotta laugh, don’t cry
It’s all rainbows and butterflies

Can’t be happy when I’m sad 
Can’t see the good when it’s bad

Look on the bright side 
You’re lucky to be alive

Surface of the Sun

my version of the classic song made by Foo Fighters

everlong (but even more shoegaze)

Welsh Awen Rock band from Anglesey, North Wales led by singer songwriter Scott Marsden. Fresh from packed out festival slots at the likes of Focus Wales, Isle Of Wight Festival and sold out tour dates all across the UK.

Since the release of their critically acclaimed award winning album, 'Druids and Bards' released on Welsh independent record label Snowdonia Records, the record has been championed by John Kennedy on Radio X, Gary Crowley on BBC Radio London and playlisted on Amazing Radio's A List, Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music and with BBC Radio Wales support from Huw Stephens and Adam Walton, and huge Louder Than War Radio support from Iain Key & Neil Crud.

It's fair to say that the North Wales band have had quite the year! The bands third album 'Druids and Bards' received numerous album of the year nominations including Louder Than War's top 100 albums of the year. It also made the long list of nominees for the Welsh Music Prize and was winner of Tiwn Media Album of the Year 2023.
