Another track for the introvert in all of us. Modern life is too fast, too busy, better to rest back and let the madness pass by.

Review(s)

"Push & Shove" is an impressive new single from the veteran Australian rock band PlanB, and can be found on their 2021 full length album, Hello Dear Stranger. Bold and brassy, PlanB combine classic soul with pop/rock sensibilities to create an exciting sound that recalls the great RnB influenced Brit pop bands of yesteryear. "Push & Shove" features a mighty brass section and a driving Motown groove that's sure to fill up the dance floor. In addition to having created a captivating pop song, PlanB manage to deliver a poignant message about the state of modern consumerism. Definitely check out PlanB's "Push & Shove" wherever you get your music, and give the rest of their extensive catalog a listen while you're at it!


Outstanding production, excellent mix. Great stereo width and tonal balance. Brass sounds amazing. Love the little syncopated alto sax/trumpet intro, and I really love that 8 bar opening horn riff. So powerful. Drums have good snap and punch, bass tone is really nice. Rhythm section is locked and loaded, great straight ahead "four on the floor" beat, tambourine was a nice touch. Vocal performance was solid. The B sections have a nice ska flavor that pairs well with the driving RnB in the A section. Nice variation in the arrangement in general. Everything is performed with such fantastic energy, it really comes through in the recording. Thought the lyrics were great, excellent bit of social commentary. Overall just an amazing job here on this track, by everyone involved in its production. Cheers!

Push & Shove is the eighth music video to be released from PlanB’s epic third studio album, the 14 track Hello Dear Stranger.

For this video, the band re-recorded the song live in order to capture some of the variations/additions to the song which are not on the album version, but feature in the band’s live renditions.

The video bounces between footage of the band’s live recording session and the ‘push and shove’ of a gym workout session.
