And it sets the tone…<\/p>\n

25 years ago this week, Buffalo hardcore legends\u00a0Snapcase\u00a0<\/strong>released\u00a0Designs for Automotion.\u00a0<\/em>Earlier in ’99, the video for “Typecast Modulator”\u2014my introduction to the band\u2014was getting a little airtime on MTV\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0MTV2.\u00a0<\/em>I had not yet been Bar Mitzvah’d, though I would be soon, but this was its own kind of introductory rite.\u00a0Snapcase made waves in the Buffalo scene by what to me is still an almost singular style of hardcore. You can hear the resonance with Refused<\/strong>, to be sure, and the syncopation of chunky, start-stop guitar riffs with infectious drum beats was rooted in the early ’90s sound a la<\/em> Undertow\u00a0<\/strong>and Quicksand<\/strong>. And yet, maybe owing to Daryl Taberski’s unmistakable vocals, there remains something entirely unique, uncommon, and rare about Snapcase, even if you can hear quite clearly how they’ve influenced a band like Drug Church<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
