March 2025 - best new alternative, post-punk and indie tracks

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 31st March 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/batc565

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.

The Moon Fell out of the Sky

"Isn't Love Important" is a song from Jonny Fallout's new album, "Travelogue", released on Triplicate Records (https://jonnyfallout.bandcamp.com). The track combines influences from synthwave to IDM. Dreamy synths and airy, warped pads, underpinned by the scattered and kaleidoscopic arpeggios coalesce beautifully into a wonderfully unique sonic mix.

Another track from forthcoming mini album

Misaligned

Nostalgia is the sophomore album from Patron Saints, and a more diverse record that the debut 'Lateralism' which was released in 2024.

With a larger scope and more focused vision, Nostalgia doesn't sit still for a moment. Instead, it careers wildly through genre-bending electronica song-craft, through deep house, downtempo, rave, dubstep and synthwave, culminating in the magnum opus 'Chicago' that rounds out the album like an electro-symphony in 4 parts.

Would You Come (If I Promise to Go)

waverley. fuse americana inspired indie rock with folk-rooted songwriting. Founded on dramatic dynamic shifts and duelling vocals, they have cultivated a sound that is distinct from any one genre. Their debut EP is expected in the summer of 2023 and will cap an already busy year with multiple shows across the country.
