Man Alive (Man Alive album) Man Alive (Man Alive album) Man Alive is the fourth full-length album by the Israeli punk rock band of the same name. It was released February 26, 2008 on B& Recordings in the United States and Europe. The album was released via High Fiber Productions in Israel and Bullion Records in Japan.
