My Family, Music, Drumming, Motorcycles, Bikes, and Cars take up most of my time. Throw in some Hockey, Snowboarding, Rock Climbing and Godzilla.

Then came a lot of American Hardcore: Youth Brigade, Minor Threat, 7 Seconds, Bad Brains, Die Kreuzen, Scream, Dead Kennedys, X, DOA, NoMeansNo, Social Distortion, Marginal Man, Black Flag, Dag Nasty and may more.

About me: RockStep Creative is an Independant video/film production company. The main interest is Independant bands that capture the essence of rock n roll. RockStep Creative likes to work with bands that don't have big label support. To truely work WITH them in order to share their awesome music with those who share the same spirit. A spirit that knows the best bands are usually the hardest to find. Bands that are not in the mainstream and simply expressing their passion for the music they want to play.
