Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk 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 Mon 18 September: 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/batch254

*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!)

Six More Days

The lyrics refer to Africa. 

It specifically concerns the way children are radicalised and drawn into wars, conflict and gangs in a manner that is totally perverse to nature. It echoes the sentiment that it's so easy to just look away from what's going on throughout the world. 

The theme is carried over to the events in the Middle East and is a depiction of the true loss of innocence overtaking the modern world and all the generations coming through, irrespective of race or creed.

 I despise the idea of technology overtaking tactility.

Nowhere To Go

I Don't Like This

Teri Mantere - guitar & vocals

Esko Grundström - double bass
Juhana Kiiski - drums
Special guest: Linda Fredriksson - baritone sax & awesomeness

Teri Mantere is an Australian-born Finnish musician, who has moved back and forth between Finland and Australia several times, the last of which was this year. He has been writing music for around 20 years, and performing for at least 10, confusing people of all backgrounds with music that does not seek an outright genre but still gets a groove on. In this song he is joined by his confused band, The Manta Rays, as they sort through a range of questions, requesting back-up from a good friend and saxophonist.
'Questions' is a single from the band's new release "PART I", out digitally in all stores.

Lyrics:

Why take a stand
Why take a walk
Why think: "Gonna go"
Take time to talk
Why hide
Not tell, nor show

Why love, why lie
Why live, why die

Matter of fact
Try evidence
Matter for faith
Try providence
Why fight, why still
Why rage, kill

Why love, why...

Take alone
Or take tandem
Is there a reason
For this jealousy candid
Why none, why all
I'll climb, we'll fall
To chance trust
Is not to cower
And not to wilt
Is to flower

Why love...

All those sleeping beauties
Hit the spindle
They try the bottle
They try the needle

Why love...

Part I
