Lyrics
There is no reason for this collision
Apologies rain all season, forever
I love you now more than I ever did
When it rains I can’t change your mind
True worlds bring
As lights fill up the sky
You better get used to it
Wishing you were here for this decision
I don’t want to be wrong
I don’t want to mislead
Stations of our present
You’re more than I’ll ever need
Can’t explain why you change your mind
And it rains
True worlds bring
As lights fill up the sky
You better get used to it
It takes its own shape

Epitaph Records is an artist-first indie label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist, Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights helped launch the 90s punk explosion. Along the way, Epitaph has grown and evolved creatively while sticking to its mission of helping real artists make great recordings on their own terms.

I'm so stoked that their comeback a few years ago wasn't a one-off trip for nostalgic oldies like me! The world's a better place with Quicksand in it

[@stephentrager3147]

I so agree!

[@neonswitchblade]

Same

[@stevehorspool2969]

Ditto

[@ghettoskramzer]

I absolutely love how groovy and chill the band sounds now, while keeping these post hardcore vibes. They are mastering their music with each releases...

[@darthinferno8479]

This is so true, hard to imagine back then this could be their eventual direction, but it's just so good and works so well, the chemistry & friendship between the 3 guys really shines on in their music now more than ever. Just jawdroppping sh&t..!!

[@wilhud]

I remember in high school, walking into my local record shop and seeing posters for the new Slip album. Immediately bought it and grabbed a couple of the posters too. Went home and listened to it over and over. It immediately became my favorite album of the 90's and Quicksand has been one of my favorite bands ever since. Sucks that we can't really do that nowadays like we used to be able to. Something about the process of going into the local shop, having the store clerks know you and your music preferences to talk about stuff and make recommendations and then looking through bins of albums and discovering something cool that you'd take a chance on and go home and listen to was super fulfilling. Love that it's so easy to discover new music nowadays online, but sorta miss the way we would do things in the past too.

[@MasonzeroDigitalWorks]

Just move to Portland Oregon and you can have that experience again, haha. Lots of big record stores around here.

[@KeeptalkinSPit]

Definitely a disconnect in finding new music today. I remember music sampler tapes at our local CD store that would have awesome bands on them, then would end up buying the album afterwards

[@squeegied3rdeye713]

Totally. I'm 45 now but am super lucky to still have the record store that I've been going to since highschool with the same owner just down the street. I buy a lot of digital music but I make sure to go to Music Town and buy the cds and vinyl from my fav bands. It hasn't changed one bit and its one of the most comforting things in the world to me

[@JustinMoraFilms]

I like having online streaming to discover music but I still like going into my local record stores which luckily my city has a ton and digging through the bins and checking out kool looking covers and discovering the music that way sometimes, the guys who work here usually like to chat out local shows and new music to check out

[@rmmancham9137]

Rockville Md. , D.C. Tower records, yesterday and today, Amoeba in 90s had that vibe. Record stores are making a comeback with records and tapes having a resurgence in recent years

[@bobhames3018]

The most underrated band of all time! Love these guys!

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

These guys can do anything. I love that they’re expanding the sound and stretching out. Walter is ridiculously talented and Sergio and Alan are one of the best rhythm sections around. Cool to see them sticking together. Check out Pedals from Rival Schools too. It’s a classic

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

Walter almost sounds like he's singing about one of his parents (who have passed on, perhaps)? powerful stuff - i'd be feeling the same exact way if i lost my parents, lost/confused/uncertain. good to see these guys back at it!

Been a fan of Quicksand since 2017 then saw them live on the Interiors tour in Portland with Glassjaw great live performances by both bands. Sergio is godly, Cage is solid af, & Walter seems to always outdo himself

[@blaisedinsd]

I saw that tour in LA but thought quicksand was the headliner and missed some of their set showing up late doh!

Love you, Quicksand. Thank you Epitaph family. Doing it again as always. Hell yeah. ❤️🤘

[@Everythingdiesoneday]

It’s amazing how they continue to grow as artists, also this artwork is incredible

[@jingledubz3989]

Love it. Sounds like Walter was heavily influenced by “The Black Angels” on this one…really good!

[@fettkotzbromas8443]

This song remind sme so much of Deftones. In a good way.

[@carloscanales3183]

Sergio Vega is literally the bassist for this band who took over for Chi Cheng in deftones, they’ve actually been around longer than deftones. ‘Manic Compression’ is probably their best, most deftones sounding album that I highly recommend.

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

Except Quicksand were the inventors of this type of sound first. I'm sure they're all good friends, too... after all, both bands share the same bassist. It's great to hear them sounding more like the early Quicksand stuff, rather than "Interiors".. although, that album is very cool as well in it's own right.

[@markheitzinger8777]

One of the best to ever do it - can't wait for this record! 🔥

@@rawpower12xu ditto. Fireburn were fantastic. Bloodclot are a bit of a Both Worlds, but more generic

[@dylantodd9574]

I like Walter a lot and I'm fan of Rival Schools. But I've not been impressed with Quicksand on anything following Manic Compression. To be honest, I even thought Manic Compression was a step down from Slip. The last release just sounded like a new Rival Schools LP. I think the loss of Tom has an impact on the dynamics of the sound. This song isn't bad, but putting it out under the Quicksand name a think diminishes the sonics and amazing work the band popped onto the scene with the early 90s.

Im an old head. I loved the EP and the first 2 albums but hippie Walter has no feel anymore. This songs is so weak. No Tom No Quicksand. Who is going to steal shit from CVS?? I will not be buying and Ill just continue to listen to the old good stuff.

[@hanspenner535]

Ur buggin old man, this is just as sick as 90s quicksand.

[@BerserkerVision]

@@hanspenner535 Nah man. The grit is gone. Slip was magical. Omission assaulted you. How Soon is Now cover just made you want to stage dive. I know we are all older now but I just dont hear it anymore. The groove is gone. That is just my opinion. Ill remember the good times in 1993 when they had to stop the show at the Roxy in LA because it was too packed. Whoever left that night got tickets to the show. Seaweed Stanford Prison Experiment opening.

[@jackcravford8744]

@@BerserkerVision it sounds good honestly, but i have to say, that Interiors had much more energy than new songs. but i love Walt and his current vocals, beautiful voice. Slip was really different time. but yeah, this is how i feel about it

[@hanspenner535]

Idk, this entire song is based off of a groove, there’s dissonant guitar cords, and the drumming is savage. His voice is less aggressive but this is honestly best thing I’ve heard from them since slip. It’s obviously different, but nothing worth being bummed out over. There’s definitely fire in this song I think your expectations are just getting in the way of seeing it.

[@tussk.]

I love Quicksand, I really do, but this is horribly dated and sounds like it came off a compilation of mid 90's grunge bands you never heard of. In fact, if somebody told me it was a Nudeswirl B-Side I'd be happy to believe them, so can we all stop acting like theyre doing something new.

[@allanross9154]

Really wanted another Rival Schools album. This song is terrible.
