Any items ordered alongside this record will not ship until this pre-order is in stock.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s impossible to overstate the influence\u003cbr\u003ethat QUICKSAND has had on the hardcore\u003cbr\u003escene. Formed in New York City in 1990\u003cbr\u003eout of the ashes of GORILLA BISCUITS,\u003cbr\u003eYOUTH OF TODAY, BURN, and BOLD,\u003cbr\u003ethe band took the aggression of hardcore\u003cbr\u003eand added a more groove-driven crunch\u003cbr\u003eto it, unintentionally inventing the genre\u003cbr\u003eknown today as post-hardcore. After\u003cbr\u003ereleasing two major-label masterpieces\u003cbr\u003ein the nineties—1993’s Slip and 1995’s\u003cbr\u003eManic Compression—the band split up at\u003cbr\u003ethe peak of their powers, only to reunite\u003cbr\u003ein 2012 and release Interiors and Distant\u003cbr\u003ePopulations.\u003cbr\u003eInspired by a quote from scientist\u003cbr\u003eCarl Sagan, Bring On The Psychics,\u003cbr\u003eQUICKSAND’s first album in five years\u003cbr\u003eand Equal Vision Records debut, sees\u003cbr\u003eguitarist\/vocalist Walter Schreifels\u003cbr\u003eexamining his past through his present\u003cbr\u003ereality. “For this album, I was going back\u003cbr\u003eto a lot of my earlier influences like Break\u003cbr\u003eDown The Walls or Start Today,” he\u003cbr\u003eexplains. “Regardless of whether you’re\u003cbr\u003einto hardcore or youth crew, they’re really\u003cbr\u003ecool records because they’re speaking to\u003cbr\u003ethe time and providing possible paths to\u003cbr\u003ea better future ... with mosh parts. That’s\u003cbr\u003ethe energy that I wanted to bring to this.”\u003cbr\u003eFrom the hook-driven heaviness of\u003cbr\u003ethe opener “Get To It” to the shoegaze\u003cbr\u003esplendor of “Crystallize,” the band covers\u003cbr\u003ea lot of sonic ground on Bring On The\u003cbr\u003ePsychics, but it always sounds like\u003cbr\u003eQUICKSAND. Its technical virtuosity is\u003cbr\u003eon full display here as well, from bassist\u003cbr\u003eSergio Vega’s locked-in bass grooves\u003cbr\u003eon “Cool Guy” to Alan Cage’s dynamic\u003cbr\u003edrumming on the album’s title track.\u003cbr\u003eThe band also stretched out musically\u003cbr\u003eon the album as evidenced by the breezy\u003cbr\u003eballad “Days You Run To,” a song that\u003cbr\u003emight even surprise longtime fans. “To\u003cbr\u003eme, that is the kind of thing that FUGAZI\u003cbr\u003ewould do on their more chill kind of\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003etunes,” Schreifels says of the laid-back\u003cbr\u003efeel of the aforementioned track. “It’s\u003cbr\u003enice to have something that was more\u003cbr\u003eexpansive to show the PINK FLOYD side\u003cbr\u003eof QUICKSAND.”\u003cbr\u003eThat aspect of the band has never been a\u003cbr\u003esecret; anyone who has seen the band’s\u003cbr\u003epsychedelic light show can attest to that\u003cbr\u003econsciousness-expanding vibe. Bring\u003cbr\u003eOn The Psychics just sees the band\u003cbr\u003eencapsulating their creative vision in a\u003cbr\u003efully, more integrated manner.\u003cbr\u003e“I’m really psyched to play these songs\u003cbr\u003elive,” Schreifels summarizes. “I feel\u003cbr\u003ereally fortunate to still be playing music\u003cbr\u003ewith these guys and be able to take it to\u003cbr\u003edifferent places.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Equal Vision Records","offers":[{"title":"12\" - Yellow With Black Splatter Vinyl","offer_id":54052578001242,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2223\/8181\/files\/Quicksand-BringOnThePsychics-Cover.webp?v=1776957775","url":"https:\/\/distrotable.com\/es-gb\/products\/quicksand-bring-on-the-psychics","provider":"Distrotable","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
