Designs for Automotion is the third studio album by American hardcore punk band Snapcase. The album was released on January 25, 2000, through Victory Records. It shows the band distancing from their earlier metalcore style for more of a “balls-out rock” sound compared to Fugazi, which has spawned mildly positive reviews from critics and criticism from fans.[3]
A music video was released for the song “Typecast Modulator”.
