Quicksand

Quicksand is an American post-hardcore band from New York City, formed in 1990. Emerging from the city's vibrant hardcore scene, the band was founded by frontman *Walter Schreifels* of *Gorilla Biscuits* and *Youth of Today* fame. Their sound, a powerful blend of heavy riffs, melodic tension, and dynamic rhythms, drew comparisons to acts like *Helmet* and *Fugazi*. After a debut EP on #Revelation Records#, they signed to #Polydor Records#, releasing their influential first album 'Slip' in 1993. Following their second album, 'Manic Compression', the band disbanded in 1995 but has since reunited, releasing new albums like 'Interiors' and 'Distant Populations' to critical acclaim.
