East Funk Attack Rhythm Manifesto IV

Rhythm Manifesto IV by Tomi Salesvuo East Funk Attack blends raw funk, rock energy, and deep themes--now available on all digital platforms.

Tomi Salesvuo East Funk Attack's Rhythm Manifesto IV is now available digitally on all streaming and download platforms. As the band's fourth studio album, it brings them closer than ever to the heart of funk--tight grooves, sharp expression, and a rock-infused edge. Originally released physically by Eclipse Music and distributed by Supersounds, the album now reaches a wider audience online.

The record opens with Hectic, a high-energy instrumental that launches the album with full force. "It was created to be explosive and straightforward," Tomi notes. In contrast, Forbidden Love brings a laid-back jam feel while exploring the pain of a secret, forbidden relationship. "Taru's vocals speak to anyone who's felt love hidden in shadows," says Tomi.

Known for social commentary, the band tackles global issues in Violence, Tyranny, Murder, Hypocrisy--a rock-funk anthem calling for peace amid ongoing global turmoil. "Life feels like a movie," Tomi reflects. "We can't grasp the horror of what's happening in the world. This song carries that message."

Urban energy pulses through Rock'n'Roll Baby, while Summer Fling, featuring Erja Lyytinen's slide guitar, brings theatrical flair and sun-soaked vibes. The joyful We Are The Party, co-written with Sami Pitkämö, celebrates life's vibrant moments.

With You (My Love), a text-driven love song featuring Swedish funk icon Nils Landgren, breaks from pop conventions. "It's about love in the swipe era--surface over substance," Tomi explains. Taru Ratilainen's vocals add emotional depth.

Inspired by real life, Losing You (featuring Riku Rajamaa of Sunrise Avenue) reflects on midlife chaos, family tension, and the quiet drift toward goodbye. "It's about the emotional storms of adulthood," Tomi says. The album, rich in both sound and substance, is a powerful snapshot of modern funk with heart.
