Snapcase is a now defunct (as of 2005) 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.

End Transmission has infinite variety, almost bordering on ambient in parts, which for hardcore is bloody amazing

Great stuff, but I wish there was more variety in the vocals. Either more melody, or just plain harsh vocals. End Transmission is a bit hard to listen to as a whole.
