Rooted in core surf and skate culture, Southern California's own The Alive joins the pod from I-SEA HQ in San Clemente for a special episode of The Lineup. With drummer Miles Elze, bassist/vocalist Lawson Matthews, and guitarist/vocalist Bastian Evans in the studio, the trio dives into their origins, the gritty early days of the band, and what it’s like to play stages with rock legends like Eddie Vedder, the Foo Fighters, and the late Taylor Hawkins’ band, Chevy Metal. With their new single “Emancipated” out now and a massive Sundown Sets show coming up at the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach on August 1, the band talks preparation, energy, brotherhood, and their shared goals of touring and playing bigger stages.
