"Do you miss the group harmonies of `N Sync? Do you miss the group choreography of Backstreet Boys? Do you secretly love the sounds of the Disney Channel? If you said "yes" to any of these questions, this CD may be for you!
It's been a long time since I've heard a band that carried the "boy band" sound more than Push Play. As I listened to this CD, by brain unwillingly began to imagine group choreography. Step-step-spin and freeze pose! I guess it was all of the harmonies. Luckily, my brain is like at etch-a-sketch. I was able to shake vigorously and get the image to just fade away.
Push Play sounds like everything I've heard before, with uninspired lyrics and dull instrumentation, it has a great chance of ending up in high rotation on your local top 40 radio station."
Found by Push Play

"I'm always excited to get a chance at listening to new music, as the range of styles I listen to is pretty wide. Like with most CD's I automatically add them onto my iPod, so that I can listen to them wherever I am. The first listen through of Push Plays new album Found had me feeling like I was back listening to former boy bands like New Kids On The Block,`N Sync and Backstreet Boys. For me this wasn't a good thing. I did listen to the CD a second time, but because I knew I likely wasn't their target demographic I eventually handed it off to my daughter who is 15. Two days later I asked her opinion and it wasn't that great. She's not a fan of the Jonas Brothers or similar Disney-esque type acts and although there were songs like "Midnight Romeo" which had some mature references - she said it was just "Too Pop and Too Average" for her to keep listening to. There's obviously an age range and music type that will enjoy Push Play, but apparently neither myself or my daughter are it."
