MAN ON EARTH describes their sound as 'Eclectic, experimental rock based music with a commercial accessibility' All Music Guide takes it a bit further - "melodic, post-Britpop sensibility with sharper-edged American guitar muscle, then tops it off with thoughtful lyrics. Surprisingly mature and far-reaching, the band is really too eclectic to simplify with easy comparisons."
MAN ON EARTH was formed in New York City by lead singer Steven Nathan shortly after recording the bands earliest songs in his bedroom studio. The band is rounded out by Steve Gregoire (Guitar, Keyboards), Dave Garcia (Drums) & Adam Root (Bass).
Currently the band is in the studio recording the follow up to the critically acclaimed debut album, 'The Time Spent Wondering', which was produced by Grammy winning producer & mixer, Ken Lewis (Lenny Kravitz, Beastie Boys, Fall Out Boy, Kanye West). The album contained guest appearances by The legendary Dr. Fink, iconic keyboardist of Prince & The Revolution as well as Stephen Pearcy, the voice of the mega-platinum arena rock band RATT. Pre sales for the album through an exclusive deal with smartpunk.com saw the album debut 8 in their top 100!
MAN ON EARTH's strong 'do-it yourself' ethic and non-stop hard work & touring has garnered them a large amount of recognition and success over the past 3 years. In addition to headlining some of the biggest venues in NYC (Gramercy Theater & Brooklyn Bowl), the band has had their videos played on Much Music, been spun on over 300 radio stations, featured in film & TV, booked nationwide tours, and directed their own music videos. Man On Earth was also recently named one of the top 20 most popular alternative bands in NYC by the Deli Magazine, FMQB's best bet pick for the song ‘all we want.’ which is also featured at every home game for NHL team The New York Islanders and recorded an episode of the nationally syndicated TV show Fearless Music which appears on FOX.
MAN ON EARTH is a rock band that puts its heart and dreams into its music and their passion and energy into the live shows. The name MAN ON EARTH came from Nathan looking for a name that would be all encompassing and unassuming. "All we are trying to do is show the experience of being alive at this time and pass on the stories we have lived in as many creative ways as possible". What's important to note is that MAN ON EARTH is only getting started.
