Pop Rock Band Push Play Signs With Wind-up Records - the Largest Independent
Record Label in the United States
Push Play Signed By Wind-up Records, Whose Roster of Artists Includes
Evanescence And Creed - Hannah Montana Star Emily Osment To Appear In Push
Play's First Music Video

NEW YORK, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- It was announced today by Wind-up Records
President, Ed Vetri, that pop rock sensation Push Play has been officially
signed to the Wind-up Records label.  Wind-up Records will release and
distribute Push Play's first major album Found in late September 2009.  Push
Play's first single off the new record, Midnight Romeo, will be released to
national radio in late July 2009.  Feedback from the new single has already
generated enough heat within the music industry that a Midnight Romeo music
video is already being filmed and will star Emily Osment who is currently
starring in The Disney Channel's overwhelmingly popular television show Hannah
Montana.

Push Play has accrued a massive following and fan base since their inception
just three years ago. They are the classic garage band story whose four
members started playing music together after school and on weekends in their
hometown of Long Island, New York.  Without any professional backing, lead
vocalist CJ Baran, guitarists Steve Scarola and Nick DeTurris and drummer
Derek Ries booked gigs in high school gyms, local malls and even major concert
venues throughout the United States and managed to land a coveted spot on the
Bridge to the Future float at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade last
November. Their online following is unstoppable; in fact Push Play's MySpace
page alone has generated close to six million plays and profile views.  Push
Play's hilarious video clips are viewed by thousands regularly on their own
YouTube channel and they are currently launching a ten webisode series based
on their temporary move to Los Angeles for the summer which will air next
month on pushplayrox.com and other teen sites including Bauer Publication's
j-14.com, popstaronline.com and on AOL's music site. The well rounded group
also has a commitment to charity that is unparalleled. Through their Push Play
for Purpose campaign they donated over eighty performances to various
charities including One is Greater than None, Leukemia and Lymphoma
Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Autism Speaks, Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Multiple Sclerosis Foundation and The Susan
G. Komen Foundation, to name a few, raising over $100,000!

"We have been closely keeping our eyes and ears on Push Play over the last
year. They have done a tremendous job developing a committed and energetic fan
base, built a strong net presence and have made several high profile
appearances," said Wind-up Entertainment President, Ed Vetri.  

"They have and continue to write and record great pop songs and have become
proficient in the song writing process."  Ed Vetri went on to say, "By joining
forces with Wind-up Records, Push Play will emerge as one of the year's
strongest breakthrough artists and we look forward to working with Push Play
to bring their music to the masses and to being there to support these young
great artists as they fulfill their dreams."
