about

You think lockdown is tough?

The men at Mantra Bell City are today “celebrating” their 7th year in “lockdown”. The men who were being held at the Manus Island detention centre were brought to Australia to seek medical treatment under the now-defunct “Medevac” law, but have instead been locked inside the Preston Hotel indefinitely, in what is being referred to as an APOD (Alternative Place Of Detention). With only the most basic of supplies/meals provided, the men don’t have the option of going outside, even for 1 of the 4 essential reasons.

This track was written after coming across the vocal hook on a Facebook post linking to an article about the men. I had read stuff online previously about their plight, but that phrase put so poignantly, inspired me.

All proceeds from the Bandcamp sales of this track will be donated directly to RISE: Refugees, Survivors, Ex-Detainees
