Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via soundcloud.com/groups/dropbox anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning 29 February 2016: from mid-day 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/batch188

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150 tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

NEW TOWN POP GROUP TACKLES DISAPPOINTING HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE

Speedvark, the Hemel Hempstead based duo, took a holiday recently and were underwhelmed.

Promises of spacious accommodation and luxury facilities made in the glossy brochure were not kept; levels of hygiene on site were below par and the service was disappointing.

At best, Speedvark asserted (to each other) that the travel agent through which the holiday was booked was economic with the truth; at worst it was downright misleading.

One upside (possibly) is ‘Holiday Song’, the band’s new single, which was inspired by the experience.

Lead bugle player, backing vocalist and front man Ben Raudnitz was held at gun point and asked for his thoughts on this latest track: “Holiday Song is a rallying cry for a nation of disappointed holiday makers too weak to do anything about it. It’s an anthem for those of us who are too mild and too terrified to do anything about anything.” He stammered before being shot.

Like many law abiding commuters, the members of Speedvark spent much of their vacation noting the various faults and minor disappointments rather than making the most of their time abroad.  And, like most of their middle income compatriots, the band spent much of its time pontificating about legal recourse, official complaint channels, compensation and possibly even an email to Radio 4’s Money Box with Paul Lewis

Yours & Mine

Modala is the project of British musician & songwriter, and Castellers band mate - Russell Robertson.   His eclectic musical influences, ranging from The Velvet Underground to Claude Debussy, shape a distinctively cinematic sound. Featuring various guest vocalist and collaborations, it is a truly unique and unpredictable must hear musical feast of a project!
Its’ intense, yet laid back, psychedelic spirit weaves perfectly with the beautiful vocals of guest artist Dakota.
