Buffalo, NY-based progressive emocore quintet Snapcase were in the beginning comprised of singer Daryl Taberski, guitarists Scott Dressler and Jon Salemi, bassist Bob Whiteside, and drummer Tim Redmond. After earning an enthusiastic winnow base among the hard-core community's revived straightedge scene, the chemical group sign to the Victory label and debuted in early 1995 with Lookinglasself; their followup EP, Stairs, appeared by and by that same year. In 1997, Snapcase issued their side by side LP, Advance Through Unlearning; the band's third gear full-length, Designs for Automotion, followed in early 2000. Producer Brian McTernan lent his touch on 2002's End Transmission, a kind of construct album approximately a futurist society; Snapcase then spent two months touring with the similar-minded Boy Sets Fire following the record's release. A divers mix of covers, remixes, and songs leftfield over from End Transmission surfaced the side by side class on Bright Flashes. Two years by and by -- and after 14 years as a band -- Snapcase threw in the towel. By this time, creation members Taberski and Salemi had been rounded out along the mode by guitar player Frank Vicario, bassist Dustin Perry, and drummer Ben Lythberg. The influential hard-core turnout performed its concluding register at Buffalo's Sphere on January 22, 2005.
