About Me

Josa Step has gone through many changes over the years, but has always remained a rock n' roll monster. With wonderfully intense live shows, Josa Step created a new realm of local music for south central PA. Loud, soft, destructive and able to rehabilitate, you are guarenteed to enjoy any show and the new recording to come. Four pieces of perpetual rock. Come see for yourself. The songs you are hearing now are songs from our 2004 album titled "The Hope Astronaut". This was kind of a lost album, recorded by John Wagoner of Oddio Records, that was never finished. The rough mix was good enough for me though, even without backing vocals and overdubs. Live Takes and scratch vocals and it is perfect to me. These were 10 of my personal favorites, but I could only load 6 on myspace. It was a tough decision so I closed my eyes and got these. Have a good listen and ENJOY!!!!
