Man Alive started in 1999 in Jerusalem, Israel, of all places. They started playing anywhere that Jerusalem would have them, including parties, local clubs, house shows, etc. The crowds in Israel quickly grew and embraced their punk-driven rock sound, and Man Alive became one of the biggest draws in the Israeli underground music scene. Before long, Man Alive knew their music could reach the rest of the world. Man Alive went on to release two full-length albums with their own money and created a fan base that stretches from Israel, to Japan, Europe and North America. Open Surgery shows how nicely Man Alive's sound has matured since the those old days, while maintaining the energy and shout-along spirit of their punk roots. One listen to Open Surgery will take the listener from a hook-driven pop song, to a punk rock anthem, complete with classic Good Riddance-style choruses. Militia Group. 2005.
