Sick of it All + Snapcase at the same show!? Well, I’m off to New York.. (SNAPCASE edition)

SNAPCASE

If anyone speaks to me about favourite bands, they’ll hear me mention SNAPCASE in the first breath. I only discovered them towards the late 90′s on a Victory Records compilation cassette (yeah we had tapes!) along with some of my other all time favourite bands Earth Crisis, Strife, Refused, The Path of Resistance..

If Sick of It All were the band that made me want to start a band, Snapcase are the reason I formed one. Musically and ideologically unmatched. Truly progressive hardcore, their sound and guitar style has influenced my own a heck of a lot. I’ve been trying to see them play since I heard about their ‘final show’ a few years back, even buying tickets to it and ending up not flying over for it

Last year they were booked for Groezrock festival and announced a reunion of sorts, playing that and a few others shows around Europe. Having been to Groezrock before I instantly booked my tickets to all their shows there and my flights. The plan was to go to every single show and have the time of my life. Unfortunately a volcano went off and held me up in Dubai en route. CAN YOU HANDLE IT!? There are some older posts on this blog detailing the whole shebang. As it turns out Snapcase couldn’t make it to Europe either so they had to reschedule their whole tour.

And now finally, 3rd time lucky (let’s pray there aren’t anymore natural disasters, it seems to be in the air again!) it looks like it’s gonna happen.

Here’s my favourite band of all time.. Enjoy. I sure am gonna:
