Tell It Again
“Me and Zack were there, but what do we know? You’ve got the floor, here we go.”
Tell It Again was written for Manny’s birthday—a warm roast of the mate who never runs out of stories, even when Zack and I remember things a little differently. One story starts, three versions fill the air, and somewhere between ‘that ain’t how it went’ and ‘tell it again’ is a lifetime of friendship.

About MarTinman
Built from the real stuff.
MarTinman turns lived experience into rhythm.
Built from East L.A. roots, Brisbane nights, family stories, old mates, lowrider spirit, and soul that has been through a few things, the MarTinman catalogue is less a collection of singles and more a map of a life.
The sound moves through funk, soul, old-school rhythm, hip-hop, disco, rock, and low-slung grooves — but the centre stays the same: Real stories. Real people. Real rhythm.
