Formed in the spring of 1999, Push Thing is comprised of four well-known musicians from Madison, Wisconsin. This introductory EP features four songs that are a precursor to the group's forthcoming full-length CD. The "mainstream alternative pop/rock" quartet is inventive and heavy, yet don't shy away from catchy hooks and interesting melodies. From the spacey opening chords of " Grid lock" to the heavy licks of "King For A Day," these guys lay it down in a good way. by Jeff Muendel
