Every week Signal Committee present an Eclectic Picks playlist. All tracks are selected from the full inbox of 200 tracks that are submitted each week to Fresh On The Net.
WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR?
Our playlists are orientated to the alternative music fan. Lyrics are not essential, abstract ideas are embraced and the fusing of different genres is encouraged. If you used to write band names on your pencil case at school, you’ll probably like our playlists.
ARTISTS SELECTED THIS WEEK
This is the final Eclectic Picks of 2022! It’s amazing to see how much great music is being produced by unsigned artists. It can’t all end up on Top of The Pops or the free cassette on the front page of NME, but we do what we can on Freshonthenet…
As for Signal Committee, we might have to start talking about our own music again in 2023. That elusive second album is finally coming together. For now, enjoy the final Eclectic Picks for 2022, and we’ll see you all next year….

RADIO OPPORTUNITIES
We all have ambitions to get on national radio, but in the meantime there are loads of great, independent radio stations that are always looking for new music of the alternative variety. They offer no promises, but the following hosts tell me they that, if you made this list, they’d like you to get in touch to be considered for their show:

Top Notch work Signal Committee with the BRILLIANT Eclectics throughout 2022 – now get that album finished (& stick ALL 4 of the previous singles on it!!!)
Leo Slayer (loathsome guitar strangler for Junkyard of Silenced Poets)
faves this time was the pairing of Dawn Sky and Blueski …. went together really well I thought. Thanks for all the extra tracks to listen to in 2022.
