Previously known as Blinky Blues, Fourth Mantra have released a debut EP at The Zoo called "Spare Change". The band made a massive splash in early 2015 being selected to play in the RAW Brisbane showcase of independent artists, hitting 23 on the Triple J roots charts and getting consistent air play in Melbourne independent radio. The guys are ready for more in 2015 having debuting under the new name FOURTH MANTRA as well as releasing two demo's off the coming EP. 

Like most things in life for us we stumbled across the name Fourth Mantra. Its an understanding of our personal suffering and the need to share it to overcome it to achieve happiness. We write our music for all different reasons and we want to share it all with you before we lose our hair.

‘The Pretty Fingers’ are an Australian alternative-rock outfit, originating from Redcliffe Peninsula in Brisbane.  Their sound is versatile insofar as its sense of innovation; the grit, passion, and rhythm of Australian classic and modern rock is prominent, echoing the spirit contained in the great Australian pub rock bands such as Midnight Oil, Powderfinger, and Spy vs. Spy.  This is complimented by undertones of iconic British alt-rock - from the dirty licks inspired by Kasabian, to the rawness found in Radiohead’s, ‘Pablo Honey’ - which, together form the canvas upon which frontman, and guitarist, Mick Bristow brings an Iron Maiden-meets-Kaiser Chiefs lead vocal that is naturally punctuated by his native accent.
