Will never understand how these guys weren’t more famous. Not only was their lead singer Walter in a number of influential hardcore bands like Gorilla Biscuits and Youth of Today, but they freaking toured with and inspired Deftones, along with the fact that their bass player Sergio was in Deftones for many years. If Deftones can become even bigger in popularity in these last few years, Quicksand should as well.

Yeah, but it just doesn’t work that way. I’ve seen and met quite a few bands that had the chops and the material to get famous, just never happened. Walter’s background doesn’t count: Gorilla Biscuits and Youth of Today were legendary, but never big. But I agree, it’s weird because their music stands up so well: I still love listening to it 30 years later, not for nostalgic reasons, but because it’s good. I once found myself standing next to Sergio at a festival in 94 or 95, watching Faith No More, and even though he had been on stage with Quicksand earlier, he was still surprised that someone recognised him. Always under the radar.

Quicksand is such a great "fly under the radar" band that in my eyes epitomized bands like this in the 90's!! Them and many other bands are what makes the 90's a great decade for music.

Jon Stewart is a genius for recognising so much great music and having it on his show. "...but have you heard Quicksand on weed?...." You rule dude.

Slip and Manic Compression were two of the most influential and inspiring records for me in my early 20’s. Quicksand was a perfect mix of heavy, aggressive grooves with melodic vocals, and I always admired the drummer for all his textures and nuances, even when going hard in the paint. I’ll never get sick of these albums.

Manic Compression was solid, but nowhere near as good as "Slip"- that album is a masterpiece. I rode my bike to a record store two towns away as a kid to buy "Slip"- and I STILL listen to that album to this day.

Dude, Slip has been in my rotation since I first heard it circa May 1993. Its rare quality cannot be overstated. Amongst the best hardcore albums of all time, and certainly in my top five of all time.

They're considered post-hardcore due to their association, sound, and timing: They used to be in hardcore (punk) bands before forming this one, and also they were on Revelation Records, a hardcore punk label that included Gorilla Biscuits and Youth of Today (2 bands in which Walter was a member). It represented a more refined and musically more mature version of hardcore, while keeping the same energy. "Emo" was not a subgenre of punk at that time yet (not sure who was "first" but Sunny Day Real Estate didn't start until 1994), and I don't think anyone called Quicksand emo at that time. Not sure why kids call them emo now. ??? Their sound is closer to metal / hardcore punk with strong rhythm and basslines. Emo doesn't have much metal/hardcore influences.
@VCCassidy8 жыл бұрын
I don't consider Quicksand emo at all. More close to the Alt-Metal side of Post-HC, along with Helmet and Rollins Band. However, emo music, real emo music, has a direct line back to hardcore. The genre started in DC with Rites of Spring, Dag Nasty, Soul Side etc... 90s Bands like Native Nod, Still Life and Indian Summer, bridge the gap between tense emotive hardcore punk and the melodic Sunny Day Real Estate iteration. All of which, including Quicksand, are directly influenced by mid-80s DC post-hardcore.

Sergie has mellowed out a lot compared to back then, lol... He's getting old and/or the Deftones calmed him down haha... What a great set. How come they never got that big even with TV show appearances like these, etc.? I guess mainstream America wasn't ready for them... Ironically NYC post-hardcore was a precursor to the rap/metal/nu-metal that followed a few years after...
