coming soon on STREET ANTHEM RECORDSSUNDAY SEPT 18 NYHC AT CBGB********************************************************
****Step2far started in 1992, at a time when hardcore in New York, was not doing too well. CBGB was not having hardcore matinees due to the violence. The only thing happening in N.Y.was the oi! scene. Post hardcore, metal and metal-core. NYHC is the style we play. The bands that have influenced us- AGNOSTIC FRONT, MURPHYS LAW, CRO MAGS, WARZONE (Rabeez was a big help when we first started out in 92) GBH, DISCHARGE, BURN, JUDGE, BOLD, SOIA, RAW DEAL, LEEWAY, BLACK FLAG, FEAR, YUPPICIDE, SFA, REJUVINATE, etc…
In 1995 we put out a demo. It was the first time in a studio. After many line up changes, we finally put something out. 2 years later Step2Far added a song (Await the Judgment) to the EYEBALL RECORDS compilation, "from the ground up". It felt good being on a release with friends: DOWNLOW, URBAN RIOT, ETC... We did another comp. "Better scene than heard" on TRAILER PARK RECS. 98 we set it straight. On our own indie, we released "U BETTER BELIEVE IT", on HIS PANIC RECORDS. One of the songs on the record was put on the trailer park comp. 99 we did vinyl. A split 7 inch with TEARS OF FRUSTRATION on GUILLOTINE. 2000 we did a South American comp. "NY/Bogotá threat" with Exigencia & Zona Cero from Colombia & Indecision, from Brooklyn NYC. In 2002 we recorded at CBGB for a compilation CD on Brutus Records from Milan, Italy. Loud And Proud. At the end of 2002, we parted ways, on good terms, with our long time drummer Giuliano. We got GiGi and her incredible skill to takeover and send us in a new direction. Later that year we also brought in a 2nd guitarist. Shawn Fresh from the band URBAN RIOT. 2003 we started recording for our split on Street Anthem Records with SPIDER CREW fron Vienna. 2006 due to other commitments, GiGi left but still continues to help out when possible. She brought in talented drummer Jose from the band Fatality to fill in. From time to time we used both drummers for shows. Spring 2007 we needed to find a more permanent drummer. GiGi brought in Homi Rosa. Ex Son of Skam/ AF/ Lady Luck.
Over the years we've had some great shows with a variety of bands: The KRAYS, MEPHISKAPHELES, INSPECTOR 7, SFA, WARZONE, RATOS DE PORAO from Brazil, GOLPE JUSTO & ODIO SIMPLE from Puerto Rico. MOLOTOV COCKTAIL, SUB ZERO, BLOOD FOR BLOOD, IRON CROSS, EVERYBODY GETS HURT, FIVE MINUTE MAJOR, INHUMAN, NRSV, the TEMPLARS, ADOLPH AND THE PISS ARTISTS, THE ADDICTS, NINE LIVES, TURBO AC'S, BROKEN HEROES, FACTION ZERO, DISASSOCIATE, REJUVINATE, DARKBUSTER, ALLEGED BRICKS, THE HUDSON FALCONS, CAUSE FOR ALARM, FULL BLOWN CHAOS, CHAMPION, DANNY DIABLO, AWKWARD THOUGHT, THE DISTANCE, BAD LUCK 13, THE WRETCHED ONES, NIBLICK HENBANE, KILL YOUR IDOLS, MURPHYS LAW, HARLEY'S WAR & FVK /CRO MAGS and AGNOSTIC FRONT.
2008 we hope to record once again with the new line up. Also a trip to Europe is in the works.
