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.

Enjoy The Day (single version)

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

'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.

☆ 𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐒 ☆

She asked me how to be funny
But that’s not something you can teach
What seemed so blue in the sunlight
By the night was a pale green

And I tried to hold her
But it didn’t really last long
And she’s getting older
I guess she’s gotta cut her blue hair off

She asked me if she was pretty
Well it’s clear that the girl’s a fraud
There’s really no way of winning
If in their eyes you’ll always be a dumb blonde

And she cried over nothing
So there was nothing I could do to stop
Her from cutting
Her beautiful blue hair off

It looked like cotton candy
And just as quick to get licked away
Last I heard she was living
With a boy who acts his age

And I guess I’ll just miss her
Even though she isn’t even really gone
But things are just different
Ever since she cut her blue hair off
