Music
Press
PUSH is a Carlisle, Pennsylvania band that is not easily labeled. They combine the electronic and jam genres and throw a little rock 'n' roll, hip hop and dub into their unique mix.
Their live sets mingle a fun and modern combination of their original material with covers by bands like Nine Inch Nails, Kraftwerk, Pennywise, Talking Heads, and The Cure. Each show is unique, and their songs change from performance to performance as they evolve with each jam session.
PUSH plays around the Harrisburg and Allentown areas, but are branching out and getting gigs at New York City venues like The Knitting Factory and Club Rebel. They have so much drive that they even hosted their own small festivals last year, LiveStock and PUSHfest '06, which drew hundreds of campers from as far away as North Carolina to central Pennsylvania. This band has a lot of ambition and creativity, so definitely plan on hearing more from them in 2007.
PUSH is:
Steve Radtke on keyboards and vocals
Scott Kapp on drums and electronic percussion
Aaron Bruno on bass and vocals
Ryan Collins on guitar and MIDI effects
