"Push" was the lead single from Silver, the 1994 debut by Canadian alternative rockers Moist, and it's the song people still think of first when the band comes up. Mark Makoway plays guitar, Kevin Young plays keyboards, and the drum credit is split between Jamie Kaufmann and Paul Wilcox.
The video is half the legend. Brenton Spencer shot it in black and white on January 20, 1994, for all of 3000 Canadian dollars, and it went to number one on the MuchMusic Countdown that June, then took Best Video at the 1995 Junos, where the song itself was up for Single of the Year. Beavis and Butt-Head even had their say about it. Down south it reached 37 on Billboard's Album Rock chart, the best the band ever did in the US.
