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 November: 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/batch427

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.

I have not been lucky in relationships and have children with different women , however I love and support regularly see my children.
but a few certain friends thought it would be funny to start calling me Henry the 8th , so I thought I'd give them a history lesson lyrically.

This track is a collaboration between The Sighs of Monsters and poet David Chislett. The poem "More Than Blue" appears in his new collection of poetry "With All Of You" and we were tasked with setting it to music, along with other artists who chose other works. The poem references the cultural impact of New Order's "Blue Monday" as it pounded out of the loudspeakers of the clubs in the 1980s, as the author "found his tribe". We've made some cheeky references to it in our musical treatment.

Lyrics:

I dance and twitch in a moment
Eyes fixed on a point
'Blue Monday' in my ears
Nineteen eighty-five
Heart is exploding
Not because of some girl
Something bigger than myself
Something I recognise

Found my tribe in that moment
A place I would call home
Nineteen eighty-five 
would last a long time
But my colours are no longer 
nailed to that mast
They are now my own
Now they are my own

From "With All Of You" by David Chislett

'Running Out (Give It Up)' is the latest single from the band We Three Kings, released 26/11/21.

We Three Kings are a no-nonsense three piece rock’n’roll band from Manchester, UK, with a balls-out sound that blends the blues, fuzz and noise into three minute mini miracles of pure joy.

Running Out (Give It Up)

with over 50,000 serious knife crimes in the UK 2024, we need more songs speaking out against it, and not glamourising it
