We are getting boners about all this shit that's happening. bloody fucking boners.


We have THREE releases coming up...  the first two come out in one month on November 11th of this year. And our new full length comes out on March 24th, 2009...

1: The PPPPP EP (Joyful Noise Recordings)
This is a split 7" with Prizzy Prizzy Please. We are only pressing 500 copies, and each comes with a free download of the EP. This will be available for purchase in person on our PPPPP tour (Oct 29- Nov 9).

There is a free all ages Bloomington release show on Wednesday, October 29th at the WIUX Station House. And a 21+ release at the Blue Bird on the following night with The Delicious. The Blue Bird show is $7 and it gets you a free 7".

These shows will kick off the PPPPP tour.

2: HELLO SOLDIER!!! (Sick Room Records)
Our very first full length recording, "HELLO SOLDIER!!!" is finally seeing an official release. We are proud and honored to have Chicago's Sick Room Records put it out. We put a lot work into this record, and even though it was more than 3 years since we recorded it, we are very excited to have it readilly available, and packaged in fancy new digipacks with new artwork. The CD will be available on the PPPPP tour, and our Chicago date will be a CD release show. It's on Friday, November 7th at The Lucky Gator Loft with The Sass Dragons and Bread And Bottle.

Our Bloomington CD Release show for HELLO SOLDIER!!! will be on Wednesday, November 19th at Jake's with Parts and Labor and Prizzy Prizzy Please.

3: Between Noise And the Indians (Joyful Noise Recordings)
We have been working on this record for almost a year. We are near the end. It will be coming out on March 24th of 2009 on Joyful Noise. The plan is to try to do a 3-5 week tour right around that time to try to get really famous and make lots and lots of money.

hey this is a pretty good review (despite the inaccuracy of who plays/sings/etc)

PUSH-PULL
3 CDEP – Joyful Noise
Despite what you might have read elsewhere,
Bloomington's Push-Pull sound nothing like Shellac,
Big Black, or The Wipers. They do, however, write
some bizarrely good songs, many of which are
included on 3. Bizarre, first and foremost, are the
vocals. Mike Notaro – other Mikes Bridavsky (bass)
and Hoggatt (drums) round out the line-up – delivers
his lyrics with a fractured snarl; he often sounds
on the verge of choking. Despite his idiosyncratic
delivery, Notaro can really sing when he chooses to do
so. Check out the fractured love song "You are Dead,"
a track on which Notaro wistfully calls out, "You can
come on over, any time." Any signs of corniness are
canceled out, however, when he adds, "When I saw
you with a knife… you looked so sorry." Musically,
this song finds much in common with bands from
the early SST and Homestead days: crunchy, twangy,
melodic guitars supported by some tastefully busy
bass lines and crackerjack drumming (think of IIera
Meat Puppets). "Mike and Bob" is another fine
moment on this release, not only because it tells
the story of Twin Peaks' favorite killing machines.
Although it begins generically enough, "Mike and
Bob" explodes into something else when Notaro's
sputtering, almost other-worldly vocals hit listeners
with some choice quotes from the killers themselves
("I'm gonna catch you with my death bag" and "You
might think I've gone insane, but I promise that
I'll kill again"). Interesting guitar and bass duels
color the song's brief moments of vocal respite, all
of which sonically mimic the struggle between good
and evil that lies at the heart of the story of Mike
and Bob. Hardly an arty, post-punk collection of
songs, this EP presents a quirky band comfortable
enough to be as strange and nerdy as they want to
be. Speaking of strange and nerdy, go see Push-Pull
live. They're really weird. And really great. (Michael
Grigelevich)

-HELLO SOLDIER!!! (2005):
    Sick Room Records, Fall 2008

Our first full length is finally going to be officially release by Sick Room Records this fall. The artwork is almost done, and we should have a release date in the next week or so. Probabl late September/early October.

-Prizzy Prizzy Please/Push-Pull Split 7" (PPP,P-P EP):
    Joyful Noise Recordings: Fall 2008

Timed with the release of HELLO SOLDIER!!! will be a split 7" with our friends Prizzy Prizzy Please. There will some sort of special event celebrating the releases of these recordings, where both of our bands will play, and people can get free copies of stuff and it will be fun, etc.

-Between Noise and the Indians:
    Joyful Noise Recordings: Spring 2009

This is our new full length that we've been working on for a while now. It's very close to being done. I think there are 13 tracks on it. We posted one that's pretty close to done on our myspace page here. It's called Wrapped Her In Horsepower. Get it?

the whole ep, "3", is on the player. 

our new EP "3" was reviewed by an Italian. This is the babelfish translation. Highlights are highlighted.

The Push-Pull is an American trio in full tuning with the recent escapes of the Joyful Noise: noise-rock flavored with intuitions post-punk. The six traces of the ep slide violent as ready bombs to explode to you in face, fast like ready snakes to sonagli attacking, dispensing moments to you of united polish madness to orecchiabili hooks for at least little orthodox a final result. A disc that puó to solleticare the interest of fan of the commistioni between noise and the Indians.

hola.

We were asked to be on this mp3 compilation for Ghettoblaster Magazine. There is some really good music on this comp including Bottomless Pit (awesome, awesome band), Joe Lally, Dalek and others.

You can download it for free and it even comes with artwork, so you can just print off the artwork and put it in a cd case. pretty cool.

click on this banner below to go to the page, and scroll down a bit. you'll figure it out.

 

as of today you can get our new EP "3" right here in Bloomington, IN at Landlocked, TD's or Sweet Hickory. Well, later today... I haven't actually brought them over there yet. I'm sure your all running to the store right now. All "3" of you.

Otherwise you can order them directly from Joyful Noise or have your favorite record store order it directly from the distributor.

Or you can get it from us.
