Push Play is an edgy pop rock band coming to the scene first on Long Island and reaching as far as the Midwest in cities such as Menomonee Falls, WI, and Chicago, Illinois and as far as Boston, MA. Comprised of 4 young men, this talented group was named Best Band on Long Island by the Long Island Press.

Their debut album "Deserted", released last December, represents all of their own material. Through MySpace, their music has reached over 44,000 fans across the globe. The "Deserted" iTunes release stayed on the top 100 for the first2 weeks, which is unheard of by any unsigned band that had not begun touring outside the tri-state area.

Formed in 2001, this rock quartet consists of CJ Baran, lead singer, rhythm guitarist and keyboards, Steve Scarola, lead guitarist and key boards, Nick Deturris, bass, and Derek Ries, drummer.

They sold out the renowned Fillmore Irving Plaza in Manhattan last December, leaving four city blocks of fans unable to get into the packed house. And this past Aprils, Push Play was the sole performance at Manhattan's Nokia Theatre, nearly selling out the venue, which is double the capacity of the Irving Plaza and the first time in the history of Nokia Theatre that an unsigned band performed. In addition, Push Play was the only unsigned band to land the coveted spot at this year's Z100's Zootopia's pre-show in May and their phenomenal performance earned them a huge ovation from the crowd.
