My bestie in high school introduced me to this band. We used to ride our bmx bikes everywhere and jam to this in his car nonstop. We drifted apart and he took his own life a few years back. It's weird how I think of him nearly every day. Miss ya, buddy!

[@adrianoandrade7579]

😭

[@Ttking1018]

Sorry for your loss man. He lives on through you

[@settlestone]

if only more people knew about these guys.. the hands down most unnapreciated band of the early 90's and in my opinion holder of the best album of the 90's. or at least top 5. slip is amazing.

[@philliprichardson8118]

Well said, good sir.

[@72twist]

Saw these guys play with Helmet and Casper Brotzmann back in '94

[@alanr4263]

Chuck Walsh dam right my friend Post hardcore at its best.Great record.

[@tmmsplace]

This song was featured in the film Empire Records. the band was definitely not underrated. If they were mainstream, they'd probably suck.

[@iChoricci]

Charles Walsh #Commiseration, mein freund💖✌🏼!!!

[@RasCuban33]

Sergio before Deftones, saw them at The Continental on 3 Ave in NY back in 94-95! These were the BEST of times for a teenager growing up in NY. I’m very lucky to have witnessed 90’s Alternative first hand☺️!

[@saint1674]

Quicksand are the gods of the 90's and the most underrated band of all time, crappy Polydor didn,t know what to do with them.

[@MarvDawk]

In their prime they whipped some ass # WALTERrules

[@johntitor1899]

This should have been as big as Nirvana. Record labels suck.

[@JonHughes]

Quicksand was a band ahead of it's time. Musically they had just as much potential as bands like Tool, but they just had too small of a following to keep going. Loved these guys, wish they could've stuck around.

[@markuszussner7359]

They're Back

[@mysmirandam.6618]

Same

[@SQUISHMANN79]

I was a freshman in Highschool when I heard this song Live on The Jon Stewart Show.. 23 years later I finally found it!!! Been a very long time! But never got the band name.. all I remember I fucking loved it!! And The dude was wearing a blue jersey with the number 12 on it.. dude.. so freaking happy I found it! You guys rock!

[@SneedyKetler]

They’re back together, loved seeing them in 2017, was in hs the first go-round

[@scottmathews4]

These guys should have hit big time great songs great hooks great vocals

[@9roselove9]

They are still together

[@benjilordoffleabottontramm5393]

Sergios bass line in this song is insane!!!!!!!

[@CountStoczkowski]

Quicksand was one of my favorite bands in the nineties. I wish they made more albums before splitting. Fortunately I got to see them 3 times live before they were no more.

[@crashpalace4834]

This is the song that drew me in. Every song they created is stellar.

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

Quicksand deserves some credit for contributing a sound that bands like Tool took from

[@samecrap]

Saw them tonight in Hollywood, CA. Epic. They sounded amazing. If they are playing in your area, be there.

[@johnlombardo7816]

legendary track!!!

I always loved this song

[@kpnkpillai]

How did i not hear this song before??!! thanks to the Movie Empire Records!!

[@dalekay9ine]

The bassist, Sergio Vega is now the bassist in Deftones

[@jeremyscheeler7235]

Deftones only stifle his talent. He can't even be heard in the mix. They don't appreciate him.

[@VikoTheBassist]

@@jeremyscheeler7235 They gave him more room to shine on Ohms, but it seems like they really didn't appreciate him enough since now he's doing Quicksand full time again

[@jeremyscheeler7235]

@@VikoTheBassist They wouldn't give him writer's credits. After having been there for how many albums? The worst part is newer Quicksand reeks of Deftones. The post hardcore vibe is gone.

[@VikoTheBassist]

@@jeremyscheeler7235 Four albums, yeah. Including Diamond Eyes which is one of their biggest albums ever

[@locustkllr]

dat performance. better than the record track

[@nholife]

i stopped listening to new music after i found out nothing could touch this sound.

[@doepicshizzle6465]

Song still rocks.

[@JosephDecker-o9z]

Well, it’s kind of hard to get from the middle of the Egyptian desert to Paris, France and now that they’re already playing Olympic Games might as well forget about everything else

[@jondecarbonel8158]

Here we go! Hell yeah Damn I miss this cd!

[@settlestone]

if only they would have made a third album.. or a fourth.. ahh.. I loved this band so much.

[@MrShritz]

there you go with album No. 3 ;)

Theyve come out with 2 more since this comment, albeit not the same style

[@johnnyscifi]

Finally saw Quicksand about 2 months ago. Fucking amazing!!!

[@johnnyscifi]

I've seen them twice now...

Go Speed Racer Go!

That’s right Andy the hyperlinks are blue. That’s right Andy they’re blue like a bluebird. That’s what you’re absolutely right such a smart man.

[@robroy5573]

[@bijaj]

hell yeah , theye are great

[@m0sketti]

kind of reminds me of helmet... probably would have been into this back in the day if i had heard of it :p

[@clockwisecirclepit]

It's never too late.

[@jeremyscheeler7235]

Quicksand actually have but one degree of Kelvin Baking from Helmet. I can't remember what it is just now (it's been a while), but I think it involves Gorilla Biscuits.

[@VikoTheBassist]

Just saw both Helmet and Quicksand play the same tour actually! Opening up for Clutch in Nashville

[@tombscy2273]

[@jmzbnd724]

2:22 mark...count it down boom!

[@Mahmood42978]

@TheNaturalCristu well these guys are members of Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today and Bold, and I don't hear much grunge in this, it reminds me of what a lot of hardcore bands who stopped playing hardcore were doing in that era

[@slantyrock]

I doubt you are, but if you are, that bass line fucking amazing.

[@ianomsberg]

Epic.... for real, ... Northern California, Coastal Weaponry

[@josephdecker4468]

So far I have been convicted of no harassment, crimes or anything like that there haven’t been any personal lawsuits, so Facebook is doing something right people are realizing it’s just my opinion but when there’s a hyperlink attached to an opinion, that’s a fact that’s like Alan Ginsberg telling Andy Warhol time magazine reported XYNZ when you see the hyperlinks, I’m kicking fax or kicking music

[@vpdisco]

Tonight in Detroit!

[@tsyrlb]

got here from the deftones. cool. their bassist in their later albums is now the bassist for deftones.

Thorn in, my side. And you live just to pull me down. Rusted, nail I stepped on. This infection. Thorn in my side. you're full, I think so, of anger. You need to sit down, stay down. The things you, want but don't get. Is that fair, I don't think so. A sure thing, you can count, on. A big depression. A thorn in my side. you're full, I think so, of anger. You need to. Your praise, is two faced, And youre, you're cut down, my friend. Cut Down. A thorn in my side, thorn in. A thorn in my side, thorn in.

[@Saucypete1]

i wouldn't say grunge,but seems based off late dischord ,reminds me of hoover and bluetip, early fugazi ,I love this shit Gb,and youth of today are pretty cool

[@chicabobica]

Quicksand fucking destroys everyone else!

[@TheExtremeParanormal]

Dammit why these guys break up Ugh.

[@TheNaturalCristu]

@Mahmood42978 What you want to explain me when you say that these guys were from the NY Hardcore scene??? That shit have more influences of Seattle Grunge than a NY HxC scene. Its simple. Listen to the guitar melodies and vocals. P.D: Escuse me, but my english isn´t good yet.

[@SlipDain]

It's a thorn in my side That Quicksand isn't playing in a town near me.

[@josephdecker4468]

Me and the other cops are looking at the sign. It’s 10 feet tall there’s 43 rules me and Bob didn’t see any of them.

[@TheJchunk]

Not one of their best tracks, Every song on Slip knocks this outta the water! Still love these guys though.

[@gazeunderthesunmusic]

I wondering if quicksand's video appeared on a UK rock/metal show called Raw power/Noisy Mothers?

[@timprice1106]

I recorded it off ITV late night rock show and paid a stupid amount for manic compression from HMV in Chester the next weekend.

[@gazeunderthesunmusic]

@@timprice1106 ah nice do you have the recording of that to put up on KZbin? Yeah sorry have to pay stupid amount for the album but it must be worth buying if you're a fan of Quicksand.

[@timprice1106]

@@gazeunderthesunmusic sorry dude it will have been on VHS and long since in landfill (I know!) There are episodes of Noisy Mother's on You Tube but now that one. HMV loved calling them imports to bump the price up £17.50 in 1995 but like you say worth it. Also great to see Serg in my all time faves Deftones

[@gazeunderthesunmusic]

They were also a big influence on Pitchshifter, Hundred Reasons and Kerbdog, but it's a shame they were overlooked during that period.

[@Mahmood42978]
