We want to help you find out how you’re doing as a songwriter – not through some so-called “expert” criticising your work, but by giving the listening public a chance to fall in love with it. Here’s how it works:

Monday to Thursday: you upload one favourite tune here and several members of Team Freshnet listen to it. If one or more of us loves it, we add it to our Listening Post – which goes live here every Friday.
Friday to Sunday: the Listening Post opens for the public to hear, comment and list their five favourite tracks.
Monday morning: the most-liked tracks become our FRESH FAVES that week – and stay permanently on the blog.

Send us your soundsTips for bands and artists:
1) Title your track “ARTIST NAME – Song Name” so people know who you are
2) Include some brief info about the track and what you’re up to at the moment
3) Upload your track to BBC Introducing as well, if you want it considered for airplay
4) If your track appears on the Listening Post don’t ask fans to come and “vote” for you.

It’s not a “competition” to find out who has most friends on Facebook. It’s to find out if YOUR music can win the hearts of strangers on sheer merit. Meanwhile….

UK artists: be sure submit your latest tracks to the BBC Introducing Uploader

Everyone: uploading to Amazing Tunes makes your music eligible for Amazing Radio
