Oakland Californias Push To Talk are exploding onto the scene bringing their own brand of indie pop, infused with an earnest approach and honesty long-missing from a genre filled with so many static, fabricated acts. Their influences are as varied as their own personal tastes and styles. James Leste, the primary songwriter, formerly of east bay punk great Quest For Quintanaroo, has burgeoned into his own style after years of honing his songwriting craft. His powerful voice, often reminiscent of a younger Morrissey, sells the catchy hooks and skillful verses hes penned, yet cant hide the frankness and honesty that permeates his lyrics. Peter Sulivan, formerly of Oakland contemporaries The Wunder Years, brings his soulful, yearning guitar melodies and the telecaster twang that gives Push To Talk its signature sound. Filling in the void between the mid and low end, Brett Wittman on keys came to Push To Talk after a late-night phone call asking if he remembered anything from his seven years of childhood piano lessons. Over all, the sonic landscape created by Push To Talk is a lush one, at the very least, and their manic live shows continue to win them fans from all walks of life wherever they are given the opportunity to perform. With a record slated for release early next year on Doghouse Records, Push to Talk are keeping their fans constantly wanting more.
