Bring On The Psychics on Blue with Black & White Splatter LP

Its impossible to overstate the influence that Quicksand have on the hardcore scene. Formed in New York City in 1990 out of the ashes of Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today, Burn and Bold, the band took the aggression of hardcore and added a more groove-driven crunch to it, unintentionally inventing the genre known today as a post-hardcore. After releasing two major-label masterpieces in the Nineties 1993s Slip and 1995s Manic Compression the band split up at the peak of their powers, only to reunite in 2012 and release Interiors and Distant Populations.

Inspired by a quote from scientist Carl Sagan,Bring On The Psychics, Quicksands first album in five years, sees guitarist/vocalist Walter Schreifels examining his past through his present reality. For this album, I was going back to a lot of my earlier influences about break down the walls or start today, he explains. Regardless of whether you're into hardcore or youth crew, they're really cool records because they're speaking to the time and providing possible paths to a better future with mosh parts. Thats the energy that I wanted to bring to this.
