Push Play was a pop rock band formed on Long Island, NY. The band consisted of CJ Baran (lead singer, rhythm guitar, keyboards), Steve Scarola (lead guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Nick Deturris (bass) and Derek Ries (drums). The band had found success without a label by utilizing social networking and selling their albums on iTunes and other online music vendors.

[edit] Music
Push Play gained notoriety as an unsigned act between 2006 and early 2009 from social networking and their Push Play For Purpose charity. Their first self-released album 'Deserted' reached number 38 on the iTunes Top Albums chart and remained on the chart for multiple weeks in December 2007. [1] In the Summer of 2008, Push Play was penned as a band feature in "What Teens Want" by Billboard Magazine.[2] They eventually signed to Windup Records in June 2009 where they released the single "Midnight Romeo". The song reached number 37 on the Top 40 radio mainstream chart.
In April 2010, the band announced they were parting ways to pursue personal goals, ending their 4 years as a band.
