Snapcase is a hardcore band from Buffalo, New York. Their records were released on the Chicago record label, Victory Records.

The band was conceived in 1991, and was originally named Solid State. Orignal line up consisted of Chris Galas (vocals), Scott Dressler (guitar), Joe Smith (guitar), Daryl Taberski (bass), and Mike Kimaid (drums). After the release of their first 7 inch “Comatose”, Galas was replaced on vocals by Taberski, Jon Salemi joined and replaced Joe Smith. and Bob Whiteside took over on bass. In 1993, Kimaid left the band and was replaced on drums by Tim Redmond. Their first full length “Lookinglassself” was released in 1993. In 1995, the band released the “Steps” EP. This was the last recording to feature Scott Dressler, who left the band in the fall of 1995. He was replaced by Frank Vicario. In the summer of 1996, “The California Takeover” was released which featured live recordings from Snapcase, Earth Crisis, and Strife.

April 1997 saw the release of “Progression Through Unlearning”. The band set out on a summer tour, and featured performances on the Vans Warped Tour. In the fall of 1997, the band took some time off so that members could pursue education. In 1998, the band resumed touring, and was the opening band on the fall tour of the Deftones. A split EP was released in the summer of 1999 with Boy Sets Fire. These were the last recordings with bassist Bob Whiteside.

    Show with the Dropkick Murphys, eh? Well, it's good to see them finally rising to their level. I always thought they were wasting their time playing with these talentless hardcore bands, they deserve to play alongside some good Irish ROCK N' ROLL

    Never was really into these guys but I remember seeing them at the Chatham Methodist Church with Earth Crisis back in 1995 or something. Good show.

    Are these guys still doing the reunion? Or did they break up again?

    It is? Well, gosh, I can't tell you what a relief that is. Finally, I can unshoulder this aching burden, and let somebody else take up the thankless task of commanding the right and forbidding the wrong for the good people of Last.fm.

    It'sallfucking stunning, but 'Progression Through Unlearning' is easily the best. Every track is killer.
