Mix May 2023

May 2023 - best new alternative, 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 22nd May 2023: 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/batch489

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
Grace of a swan forever
Faces unknown, I'll piece them together
In my mind, I'm always looking down
It seems time

To taste the light and watch all of us now
You take a knife and open up this town
I didn’t know you’d seen another face that I didn’t show
And still you looked misplaced

Eyes of ghost remember
We tore it in hope to keep it together
In my mind, I always look around
To find time in every other sound
Take it or leave, this place is a river
It's up to to my knees and pulling me quicker
In my mind, how hard that I’ve tried to conceal her

To taste the light and watch all of us now
You take a knife and open up this town
I didn’t know you’d seen another face that I didn’t show
And still you looked misplaced and left behind

You’ve been running in place all night

We cut it down to the fucking bone
We never thought, but we should’ve known
What others saw, but I can’t see
It was supposed to me

Taste the Light

Crystalline Stricture - Dogs At My Feet

End of line
no more singing lullabies to adults
Never take the time
I don’t want to be alive

Fed the mind
underlying, underlining trauma
Never had the time
No more ‘it will be alright’

Feeling like a lion behind bars
watching as our lives are going under
Handsome boys obsessing with their cars
while pretty girls are yearning for the summer

Felt my spine
As I took the fall from Jacob’s ladder
Never had the time
Didn’t want to be in a fight

Hate my kind
Hating all the violence in our karma
Yet I lie
Acting like a frightened child

Feeling like a lion behind bars
watching as our lives are going under
Handsome boys obsessing with their cars
while pretty girls are yearning for the summer

I’d rather dream of life on Mars

Everything is under no control
Everything is under no control
Everything is under no control

Feel Like Myself (When I Am With You)

This song describes a timeless love that never fades.  Fine wine is filled with silky vocals and smooth harmonies.

Fine Wine

FINE WINE

The Narcissist

Wrote  and recorded as part of the weekly Iheartsongwritingclub "Latitude' week. Lukas Drinkwater came and added and mixed ..Love this track so much.
LYRICS
I  often dream of  an Estuary
 river connects to the open sea
River rain dilutes the salty tide
I walk gently along the icy  riverside
 
recurring dream..same estuary...and it is real   ...  on my degree 
CHORUS 
52nd parallel north has always been my home
but if I  chose to sail along it's  latitude
find the  estuary  with all its magnitude 
52nd parallel north could still be my resting place 
In New-found Land ...I always dream of  


I often drowin in saltwater tears 
(I can't find home
 never really had one)
It doesn't  get  easy crossing off the  years?
(I can't find home)
 I dream one day I  will feel the ground
(I can't find home
 never really had one)
Know its  the place that's  homeward bound

52nd Parallel North

Growing Up

Linda Linda

CatchMeAgain (Clique Remix)

‘Yes’ is a timeless and unapologetic love song bursting with soul, excitement of committing to another forever!

It is influenced by classics such as Etta James ‘Rather Go Blind’ and Aretha's ‘Ain’t No Way’
A song to celebrate love and the joys of tying the knot! A perfect first dance for many happy couples.

Take You Back (Clean)

Hey!! Here's my release "Just A Memory"! Releases on Friday 19th May 2023.

Just A Memory - Tara Flanagan

On the 9th of June Codewalkers are back with a new single. 'Nothing 4 Free' is about dysfunctional relationships, in this case a guy who is threatened by the partner of a female friend. He’s not interested in her, and he’s not interested in getting beaten up because of her. Based around a syncopated guitar hook and combining live drums and bass with electronic elements, the rapped verses explode into huge choruses, the band joined by the soulful vocals of Becky Winfield for the first time on record.

The track follows on from the success of their last releases ‘Preternatural’ and 'Santa is a Pimp', which as well as receiving airplay on BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio Wales, the former was made Tom Robinson’s BBC6 Music Mixtape Pick of the Week. ‘Nothing 4 Free’ is accompanied by a live video performance of the track, filmed at Theatr Soar, Merthyr.

Leeds-based indie-rock/pop outfit Silverfish deliver vibrant, punchy energy while creating space for vivid and rich introspection. The four-piece band take inspiration from the likes of Foals, Sticky Fingers, and Radiohead to create distinctive indie-rock music filled with character and variety.

First formed in late 2021, members Tom Gannon (vocals), George Bolger (drums), Oliver Mullan (Lead Guitar) and Ben Norton (Bass, Synth) and all met at the University of Leeds and since then have been performing sold out headline gigs. In the summer of 2022, the band played at Y Not Festival under BBC Introducing, and recently have been featured on Radio X, BBC Leeds, BBC York, and BBC East Midlands.
