Push Play - Deserted

They bring a new meaning to DIY

One look at Push Play's album cover and you'd think they're just another boy band equipped with hands-free mics, coordinated outfits and synchronized choreography. But after listening to their debut album Deserted, listeners will be convinced that there's more to Push Play than meets the eye.

With recent shows like Z100's Zootopia with OneRepublic and veteran boy band New Kids on the Block, Times Square's Nokia Theatre and a profile in The New York Times, the Long Island quartet have been garnering success everywhere they go. Frequently compared to brotherly trio the Jonas Brothers, Push Play's pop music reveals more of a rock and roll edge with an electronic twist. So the comparison might be more about both bands' choice in onstage outfits: yep, these guys like to dress up, too.

Fashion aside, Deserted is pretty good, especially considering that the project was co-produced by the band's lead singer CJ Baran and recorded in his basement. This DIY effort proves that the guys, who range from 18 to 19, have music running through their veins, surely on their way to becoming masters of the craft.
