October - 2022

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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 461

October 2022 PART I

Thanks to everyone who came by Fresh On The Net at the weekend to check out  Listening Post 461 and tell us which tracks they liked best. Here, in alphabetical order, are our readers' top favourites. Our reviews are written by Fresh On The Net's Del Osei-Owusu - and you can read them at http://freshonthenet.co.uk/faves461

Fresh Faves: Batch 461

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
