In a nutshell: Birthed out of Los Angeles' Dream Center (a non-profit, inner-city outreach organization), Press Play is just as committed to music as it is to the local community. The proceeds from Life Is Beautiful go directly to the community while themes of compassion and restoration surface throughout. The six-piece outfit is all about energy—interjecting vibrant electronica flourishes into punchy pop/rock. However, you may be tempted to push fast-forward during the less-effective ballads, which bog down the spiritually-centered party with generic delivery.
