Is It Alive is a live album by punk rock band Bodyjar. The album was recorded from a live performance at the Annandale Hotel in Sydney while the band were on their "Call To Arms tour", named after their third song on their self-titled album from 2005 (Bodyjar).{{cite news|title=Bodyjar - Is It Alive CD|url=http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7391629|work=cduniverse.com|publisher=CD Universe|date=27 February 2007|accessdate=12 December 2012}}
The live show used for this album was originally recorded unbeknownst to the band as lead singer Cameron Baines describes, "We've always wanted to do a live album and by chance someone recorded the band in Sydney with out us even realizing."{{cite news|title=Bodyjar - Is it Alive tour... |url=http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/news/local/7849/Bodyjar--Is-it-Alive-tour|work=fasterlouser.com.au|publisher=Fasterlouder|date=14 February 2007|accessdate=27 December 2012}}
The album cover for Is It Alive contains a water-pipe (or "bong"), alluding to the fact that the members of Bodyjar are recreational users of cannabis.
