Album Introduction
Push is the debut studio album by Bros — twin brothers Matt Goss (vocals) and Luke Goss (drums), with Craig Logan (bass) — released in 1988 on CBS Records and produced by Nicky Graham and Tom Watkins. The London trio had become one of the most intensely followed British pop acts of the late 1980s, with a devoted fanbase — the Brosettes — whose enthusiasm for the group, including the famous adoption of Grolsch bottle tops worn on their shoes, made them one of the defining teen pop phenomena of the era. The album reached No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and spawned four UK Top 5 singles. When Will I Be Famous? (No. 2), Drop the Boy (No. 2) and Cat Among the Pigeons (No. 2) all narrowly missed the top spot, before I Owe You Nothing — initially released without chart success — was re-released and reached UK No. 1. Craig Logan left the group before the album's release due to ill health.
Stand-Out Tracks
- I Owe You Nothing — The album's most commercially triumphant moment; initially released without success, the re-release reached UK No. 1 and gave Bros their defining chart achievement and one of the most immediately recognisable British pop singles of 1988. UK No. 1.
- When Will I Be Famous? — The debut single and the song that launched Bros into the national consciousness; a driving, hook-driven pop track with a lyric of youthful ambition and a production of complete commercial precision. UK No. 2.
- Drop the Boy — A warm, mid-tempo pop track that gives the album one of its most melodically generous and emotionally direct moments; Matt Goss's vocal is completely assured and the production gives the song a contemporary sheen that suits the group's aesthetic perfectly. UK No. 2.
- Cat Among the Pigeons — A driving, rhythmically confident pop track that gives the album one of its most energetic and immediately appealing moments; another near-miss at No. 2 that demonstrated the group's remarkable consistency as a singles act. UK No. 2.
- I Quit — One of the album's most emotionally direct and melodically sophisticated deeper cuts; a mid-tempo pop ballad that gives Matt Goss the opportunity to demonstrate a more vulnerable and unguarded side of his vocal personality beyond the uptempo singles.
