*********************************************
THIS IS NOT A STEP is a four-day festival of punk music and culture in Berkeley, CA, commemorating the 20-year anniversary of the first More Than Music Festivals, hosted in Dayton and Columbus, Ohio. While rooted firmly in the here-and-now, THIS IS NOT A STEP celebrates the original intent and energy connected to the More Than Music festival series, which helped lend a tangible form to a new and vital interpretation of American punk and hardcore.
The interconnectedness of each moment—the then and the now—are reflected in their titles. More Than Music fired a flare for the contrarians, misfits and outcasts of the waning establishment American Hardcore scene, emphasizing community, inclusivity and punk’s potential to change individuals as well as their world. Perhaps it should come as little surprise that many witnesses, then, remain involved in the DIY underground today, in the Bay Area and around the country. While sure to be a fun homecoming for many older "kids," this is no lifeless reunion, but rooted rather in the art, music and politics of those active today.
THIS IS NOT A STEP takes its name from a Bay Area hardcore band, Torches to Rome, in order to challenge sometimes latent notions of entitlement, careerism and passive consumption in our would-be, could-be community. While punk is much more than a stepping stone, perhaps at its best it is also more than a phase to be swanned through, a look or a clique to master and move on, or an end result to be achieved and then retired.
In the spirit of each parallel tradition, the organizers of THIS IS NOT A STEP invite you to join the crowd this June in the Bay Area to celebrate the inspiration of punk's rich past, the energy of the vibrant scene today, and its potential for the future.
**********************************************
THIS IS NOT A STEP will benefit the following:
The family of our beloved friend Sarah Kirsch as well as the following organizations which meant a great deal to her:
and
A portion of proceeds will also go to helping Joseph Mattson (LA writer and member of 90's diy punk band Constatine San Kathi) in his legal struggles.

REPLICA "S/t" 7" EP is OUT NOW.
REPLICA 'S/T" 7" EP is out now!
The debut 7" EP From the San Francisco Bay Area's REPLICA is fueled by searing guitar, fast blasting drum beats, sturdy tough bass lines and brash, raw vocals. Five tracks that thread many different hardcore influences and sounds - from the metallic thrash and high energy of current Brazillian Hardcore to a raw straight forward punk attack like early LA proto-hardcore or east bay punk to the wild unpredictability of 90's thrash, to make a unique whole. Members from DUCK AND COVER, INFECT, NO STATIK , these tracks were recorded in 2012 at THe Dutch Oven by craigums and mastered at George Horn Mastering. REPLICA are a scene constant in the local bay area and will appear at this Year's CHAOS IN TEJAS festival. Thick vinyl, folderver sleeve and First press comes with a Vinyl sticker.
Order at Prank's Big Cartel HERE
Also available from No Idea, Ebullition, Soap and Spikes and more
