marky's fresh faves pt2

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 20th July: from around midday on Friday 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/batch375

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Soda

Slow down
You’re moving too fast
Can’t you find the beat?
Pick your feet up
You know it won’t last
If only you could see yourself
Caught up, 
What’s there to prove
Who’re you trying to be?
Just a big man
Caught in a loop
What else is there to see?

You’ll get dressed up
Jacket and tails
Ready for the day
Like a magpie, caught in the nude
You hide yourself away
You’ll put one foot forward
Then you take it back
Restless feet on a broken track

You’re a loud-mouth
Say what you hear
And speak before you think
Put your ear that close to the ground
And dirt will soil you speech
Won’t you let us in
And we’ll watch you cry
Smiling broadly with arms held wide

Don’t mind me, I’ll mind myself
Don’t Mind me, I’ll mind myself
Don’t you go
No don’t you go
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you

When you gunna 
When you gunna 
When you gunna 
When you going to learn?
How long, how long, until you learn?
I said when you gunna
When you gunna
Learn?

I won’t

Slow down
You’re moving too fast
Can’t you find the beat?
Pick your feet up
You know it won’t last
If only you could see yourself
Caught up, 
What’s there to prove
Who’re you trying to be?
Just a big man
Caught in a loop
What else is there to see?

Place Is Here is a wonderfully textured call to arms for people to seize the day led by resplendent piano hooks and the velvety tones of former Faithless singer Harry Collier. A feel good summer anthem all the way, demonstrating The Hempolics can execute Indie Pop to match their vaunted Reggae numbers.

It Really Is A Pity

HEROINE - ‘big brooding alt pop/rock for your ex lover to cry to’

“This isn’t a love song, it’s not about falling in love, it’s about lust, it’s about the painful moments when the distance between you feels so far. It’s screaming into the night hoping someone will hear you, it’s the battles as a young girl fighting against your sexuality, it’s full of fear and need” - Martha Phillips songwriting and vocalist. 
One of the first songs written by the band back in 2014, this song is a fan favourite at their live shows. For three years Martha would end every gig with ‘Heroine’ belting out the final note, using every last ounce of energy and passion to close the show on a spine tingling moment. 
This highly anticipated single holds an incredibly special place in the hearts of their fans, the band, their families and wider team. This release is for the day ones. 
“A song of this magnitude needed the right recording settings and it wasn’t until we met Dan Cox (Producer at Urchin Studios) that we knew we had met the right person to capture the raw energy of the live performance”  - Tom Palmer Drummer
