Men of North Country, an Israeli soul band from Tel Aviv, formed in 2008. The group includes lead singer Yashiv Cohen, drummer/producer Boaz Wolf, guitarist Doron Farhi, bassist Jonathan Ydov, and a three-piece brass section comprising Ido Kretchmer (trombone) and siblings Sefi Sizzling (trumpet) and Ongy Sizzling (saxophone). The band's inception occurred when Cohen was overheard singing at a Tel Aviv Soul Club party, leading to the formation of Men of North Country with friends from various bands. In 2010, they signed with Acid Jazz Records and released their debut single "Man of North Country / Debut." Their first album, The North, was produced by Wolf and released in June 2012, followed by a European tour later that year. The band's second album, This City, was released in July 2016, showcasing a blend of northern soul, post-punk, and rock and roll.
