Welcome to the 5th Anniversary Episode of the Nickel City Soundtrack Podcast. Chris couldn't make it so Derek and Mark hosted a round table discussion featuring Daryl Taberski from Snapcase, Mike Jeffers from Juggernaut as well as scene superstar Ryan Ross. We talked about that show that got you into hardcore we talked about venues that are gone that we wish would come back and we also talked about our favorite NCS show moments. Thank to everyone who has listened or even suggested that someone listen to this podcast. We appreciate you and we look forward to the next 5 years!


Tune into the Nickel City Soundtrack Podcast for a ride driven by lifelong passion and local flavor. Hosts Chris and Mark are at the helm, using their shared history with music as a roadmap to explore the sounds that defined their tastes and the vibrant, ever-evolving Buffalo hardcore scene. This isn't just a retrospective; it's a living conversation about what's happening now. The dynamic regularly expands when Alex and Derek join the conversation, adding their own distinct layers to the discussion as the episodes roll on. You'll hear the crew's genuine camaraderie and deep dives into artists and movements, often punctuated by appearances from special guests who bring expert knowledge or fresh stories.
