NCS 289 - Photographer Spotlight (Mia Roland)

NCS 289 - Photographer Spotlight (Mia Roland)

Author: Nickel City Soundtrack Podcast May 10, 2026 Duration: 43:49

On the latest episode of the NCS Podcast we talk to Mia Roland who seems to be taking pictures at all of the shows around here. We talked to her about how she got into both music and photography. Co Host Mark is a photographer as well so we talked gear and some technical talk as well. Hopefully we will have more photographers on the cast. I would say they are a very vital part of the scene. Enjoy!


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. Each episode of this podcast feels like hanging out with friends who happen to have an encyclopedic love for music, from foundational classics to the latest local show. The result is a personal, engaging, and thoroughly Buffalo-centric listen that connects the dots between the music that shapes us and the community that keeps it alive.
