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 debut album in his bedroom studio. The band is rounded out by Alex Polaris (Guitar, Keyboards) David Garcia (Drums) & Alex Goumas (Bass).

Three years after the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, MAN ON EARTH is back with 'The Time Spent Wondering', produced by Grammy winning producer & mixer, Ken Lewis (Lenny Kravitz, Beastie Boys, Fall Out Boy, Kanye West). The album contains guest appearances as diverse as the band's music. 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, have come on board to lend their talents and support to this ambitious project.

MAN ON EARTH's strong 'do-it yourself' ethic and non-stop hard work has garnered them a large amount of recognition and success over the past 3 years. Entirely on their own, 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. Shortly after the release of their first album MAN ON EARTH also won the ears of Grammy winning producer Ken Lewis who began working with the band on the songs that have become 'The Time Spent Wondering'.

'The Time Spent Wondering's first single 'all we want' has already gotten a head start this fall from Alternative rock station KACV in Amarillo TX. The song instantly generated phones and within a month it became the 1 most requested song on the station. FMQB declared 'All We Want' a Best Bet pick of the week and a growing number of prominent stations across the country have begun spinning the song as well. The video for 'All We Want' was directed by the band who encouraged fans from around the world to submit videos of themselves with signs explaining their dreams and goals. The outcome was truly inspiring and the video has had a huge response online. In addition pre sales for the album through an exclusive deal with smartpunk.com saw the album debut 8 in their top 100! MAN ON EARTH was also recently named one of the top 20 most popular alternative bands in NYC by the Deli Magazine.

At a recent show MAN ON EARTH was joined on stage by Dr. Fink for their set. Dr. Fink, not only played keyboards on 'The Time Spent Wondering', but also played with Prince for 12 years. "I thoroughly enjoyed working on this album and think that it will be a smash hit!" declared Fink in a recent interview.

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.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US...

"Some really cool stuff... Man On Earth is a band worth definitely checking out!"
(Matt Pinfield - WRXP)

"I thoroughly enjoyed working on this album and think that it will be a smash hit!"
(Dr. Fink / Prince & The Revolution)

"Smart basically, that's what Man On Earth is... 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."
(All Music Guide)

"Man On Earth flirts with Elvis Costello pop punchiness, but ultimately settles on a more modern sound."
(Time Out New York)

"KACV-FM jumped on "All We Want" early, and it's generated phones from the start. It's now #1 phones, and hits our target of 18 to 24 year olds. The thing is, our older demo loves it too. FM90 can't play it enough!"
(Brian Frank KACV)

New Yorkers Man On Earth are our Best Bet, thanks to their excellent new single "All We Want." "All We Want" melds the anthemic energy of Jimmy Eat World with some cool guitar work certainly influenced by The Edge.
(Joey Odorisio FMQB)

Man On Earth is doing what a lot of bands today just don't have the guts to do... wear their hearts on their sleeves. I've had the privilege of watching this band grow into a deep and musical monster."
(Alan Robert / Life of Agony, Epic Recording artist)

"Every now and then, you come across an album that has just the right amount of rhythm to it. Nothing is too fast or too slow; everything is just right. The Time Spent Wondering is that album. Man on Earth does a good job at making you love every instrument of the band."
(Matt Rodriguez - Shakefire.com)

"Elvis Costello came to mind, not that they sound similar to one another but both have a quirkiness to go along with some outstanding melodies. At times I was also reminded of bands like The Cure. I believe this band can have good success if they get the necessary exposure. This is a solid album and well worth repeated listens garnering 3.5 stars from this reviewer.
(John Neudorf - Seaoftranquility.org )

"it's the best conglomeration of uncluttered, unfettered melody and messy emotion that's come around in a long time.
(Stephanie Myers / The Deli Magazine)

"There's more to man on earth than is immediately apparent, and the disc is worth repeated listens in the quest to uncover these hidden gems."
(Dave Haucke / kaffeinebuzz)

"This New York City band has been generating a huge swell of interest... Although the band brings to mind acts such as Radiohead, U2 and even late-period Pink Floyd, the music is openhearted and melodic, recorded with a crystal clarity that makes it a much easier listen than most modern rock of this ilk. This is definitely a band to watch."
(Mark Wilson, Music Critic)

"Smart bands are hard to come by, and bands that are musically ambitious and smart are even more rare, so finding Man on Earth is both refreshing and reaffirming."
(Mike - SOS)

"Opening was Man on Earth, a youthful indie rock quartet from New York. Their album Disposable Sounds for the Fickle Mind was well-received by critics, but most of the crowd didn't know what to expect. What they got was well done, solid song structure, talented playing and unusually introspective lyrics that obviously come from the heart.
(bigyawn.net)

"Man On Earth's alternative approach to rock combines arena guitar with the more mellow sentiments of bands like Incubus and Coldplay. With big cascading choruses, Man On Earth succeed in sounding modern, though they reach down deep to drum up hints of familiar rock sensibilities"
(The Deli Magazine)

"With their excellent dynamics and a great lead singer in Steven Nathan, you just can't go wrong with this record. Fusing different flavors into one sound is often unheard of, but the band shows they have the talent and songwriting skills to keep their music interesting and in the ears of the listener. Check out Man On Earth and see for yourself."
(Chris Stum - Anti Music)
