Few bands build on the smart and socially conscious punk-rock template sketched out by Bad Religion more profoundly than Buffalo's Snapcase. This is a good thing, especially since they throw in nods to Rage Against the Machine and Jane's Addiction, too.

Few bands build on the smart and socially conscious punk-rock template sketched out by Bad Religion more profoundly than Buffalo's Snapcase.
