About the Artist

Quicksand are a New York hardcore-rooted band whose sound pushed past the genre's limits into dissonant, heavy post-hardcore — think churning guitar tension and Walter Schreifels' melodic vocals over rhythm section muscle. They built their reputation in the early 1990s New York scene alongside acts like Gorilla Biscuits and Youth Of Today before disbanding in 1995, reuniting briefly, and eventually returning again in 2012. Catching them now is genuinely rare — they've never been a constant touring presence, so Bangkok dates from a band with this much scene history don't come around often.
