In 2001, Xpunk Promotion set out on a mission to promote Punk Bands on the Navajo ReZ.
Our organization realizes the potential to support such an event in communities across the Navajo Nation. These events are used to insure the enjoyment for fans and artists, but to support the causes that affect the Navajo people. As Navajos, we started Xpunk to support and provide different sound of music on the ReZ. Xpunk started out as a Non-Profit Group, which wanted to provide awareness of constant pressure students faced on a daily basis through music. But to provide a better range of artist, Xpunk has decided to make their show a paid event.

Xpunk Promotion has discussed with various Artists the idea of a benefit concert would be enjoyable for the community, but also have a positive influence on the youth. We worked with Monument Valley High School and GreyHills Academy High School to provide bands supporting their events. With Monument Valley we work with their After Prom Bash. Greyhills Academy, we worked with 21st Century Community Learning Centers in launching their Summer Youth Festival.

Presently, Xpunk decided that futures shows will be done apart from sponsored shows, these shows will still support the causes affecting our youth on the Navajo Reservation. We at Xpunk Promotion feel that schools can help with these social events within the community by providing information to the public at these shows.

Greg Graffin wrote A PUNK MANIFESTO: "If my attempt offends the purists, collapses the secrecy of a closed society, promotes confidence in skeptical inquiry, provokes deeper thought, and decodes irony, then I have done my job and those who feel slighted might recognize the triviality of their position. For I have nothing to promote but my observations on a sub-culture that has grown to global proportions, and through visiting much of it, I have found threads of common thought everywhere. Common thought processes are what determine the ideology that binds people together into a community. There is desire among Punks to be a community, but there needs to be some shape imparted on the foundations of the punk ideology, and where it comes from. The current Punk stereotype is scarred by mass-marketing and an unfortunate emphasis on style over substance. But these ills don't destroy the Punk sentiment, they merely confound the education of the new generations of people who know they are punk, but don't know what it means. It is a long road to understand what it means. This essay is part of the process."
