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 27th October 2025: 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/batch587

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

Concrete (Recorded & Mastered)

Deep Dark Blue is a love letter to Lisbon and the lyrics are inspired by Lord Byron's poem "Childe Harold." It centres around the idea of nature enduring all, sometimes even human connection, and acts as a backdrop for Carson's delicate ability to balance instrumentation creating a lavish sonic tapestry that ebbs and flows like the Tagus on a pebble strewn Lisbon beach.



This track features vocals and lyrics by Portuguese aritst Daniela Galhoz



Deep Dark Blue is a stand alone single and will be released on all streaming platforms (except Spotify, because Daniel Ek shouldn't be taking all our money and investing it in AI bombs) on November 4th.



Live tour dates to support the release:



21/11/25 - Norwich - The Holloway

22/11/25 - London - The Finsbury

Better Way

No phone reception
Nobody can hear us 
‘Cause we’re days from home 
It's just us against them now

Let's play hide and seek 
Don't make any sound 
Should they get me 
I'll convince them it's me and myself

‘Cause if it has to be you, or me 
I’d pick you every time
‘Cause if it has to be you, or me 
That’s where I draw the line

'Cause what you do is amazing
(Rollover, rollover it)
What you choose to do with life is amazing
(Rollover, rollover it)
It’s amazing, so rollover

Watching you is my favourite
Yeah watching you is my favourite thing
So won’t you rollover, I’m over it

Let’s get to safety 
Don't try anything out to save me 
It's the least I can do 
To repay you for the things you do 

'Cause what you do is amazing
(Rollover, rollover it)
What you choose to do with life is amazing
(Rollover, rollover it)
It’s amazing, so rollover

Watching you is my favourite
Yeah watching you is my favourite thing
So won’t you rollover
Yeah watching you is so dangerous
Yeah watching you is my favourite thing
So won’t you rollover

Cause if it has to be you, or me
Yeah you, or me
Yeah if it has to be you, or me
I’d pick you every time 
So rollover I’m over it

Yeah watching you is my favourite
So rollover, I’m over it
Yeah watching you is so dangerous
So rollover

"A great sound, very ‘of the time!’”- BBC. With grit and unfiltered honesty, Dakota Avenue cut through the UK indie scene, fusing powerful live energy with songs of love, loss, and life.  They have supported Sleeper, Clean Cut Kid, The Covasettes, hit the fields at Kendal Calling, Belladrum Festival, Co-op Awards, and Etihad Stadium's Matchday shows on CityTV. They have sold out multiple small venues in Manchester, building a community with their infectious melodies and groove. They’ve had support from prominent stations like BBC, XS & Amazing Radio. “In a world obsessed with trends, this band is building something slower, tougher, and far more enduring: a legacy.” ~ Sante Vincent Magazine
