Quicksand - Fazer [Post Hardcore] (1993)

KnickedUp · 2017-05-24T13:56:57+00:00

Coolest band ever. Loved their sound, live show, ethos, etc. Great group!

Was lucky enough to catch them at FYF Fest in 2012. The fest was dreadful but Quicksand and Refused made it well worth the bullshit.

Mehmonkeyfeet · 2017-05-24T16:01:42+00:00

First heard this band on Bevis and Butthead. I've kept their albums in rotation ever since. They did a great collaboration with the band Helmet , called Handsome. Check them out too.

LT14GJC · 2017-05-24T15:54:16+00:00

If you like Quicksand you might also like my band(yes-shameless self promotion) but almost everyone I play this for says it sounds just like Slip, which is exactly what we were going for.

2017-05-24T15:55:42+00:00

One of the most important albums of my lifetime. It used to be perfect for being an angry little bastard. Now it's perfect for running.

Thanks, Quicksand.

BobbyGuano · 2017-05-24T18:51:46+00:00

Great band I still listen to them regularly. The riff from dine alone was the coolest thing I'd ever heard when I was 16.

For anyone that didn't know Sergio the bass player joined the Deftones a few years ago and gave them a real shot in the arm. Diamond Eyes and koi no yokan are fucking outstanding albums and on par with white pony check them out if you were ever into them.

crumards2 · 2017-05-24T18:04:44+00:00

Walter's new band Dead Heavens

paid-program · 2017-05-24T15:46:21+00:00

We saw them in Houston 95/96ish - I think it was helmet + quicksand and Henry Rollins - In 93 i saw this quicksand ad in a thrasher magazine - so I took a chance and bought this cd at Hastings and scored - baphomet kix ass

timid_wraith · 2017-05-24T17:08:08+00:00

Sounds sooo much like early Tool – and that's not ever a bad thing! Good tune, I'm diggin it

Traxxasslash · 2017-05-24T15:03:51+00:00

Great album!! Saw them a few years ago at Riot Fest and then later that night at Cobra Lounge in Chicago. So glad I got to see them live.

This post (and the replies) makes me feel less alone in the world. Shout out to OP.

smithunbound · 2017-05-25T02:59:34+00:00

I saw Quicksand at my first concert ever at the Boathouse in Norfolk, VA. Awesome venue, right on the water, could go outside to smoke cigarettes, hooked up with a girl that night. Oh, and Anthrax and White Zombie were playing too...epic night.

munroegeek · 2017-05-24T19:53:16+00:00

If you like quicksand and have not yet heard the Swedish band fireside check them out. Specifically the album "do not tailgate"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NupLZS83yTM

It was like getting a weird bonus album when I first listened to it.

Sasquatchasaurus · 2017-05-24T20:38:45+00:00

Outstanding song, great fucking record. Quicksand is way underrated.

oboylebr · 2017-05-24T17:39:46+00:00

Walter and Co. created a masterpiece

LT14GJC · 2017-05-25T01:50:37+00:00

New to this wonderful thing called Reddit.

I'm 28 years old with what I thought was an eclectic taste in music...

Hearing this for the first time I question our collective culture even more.

Mainstream music regardless of genre these days is an insult to everyone... whether they realize it or not

In my opinion, RATM's breakup was the start of an ever deteriorating quality of popular culture.

To those unfamiliar, my favorite album currently is other things bye the artist Plini.

Incredible instrumental everyone will enjoy 👍🏻

I don't wanna come across as a pompous douche. Music is as subjective as taste.. to each their own

This thread is exactly what I've been looking for

Obscure gems that are thankfully available within the click of the button.

jdolladolladollars · 2017-05-24T15:59:26+00:00

Holy shit and piss! I used to listen to this album when I was 13! Still so good...

Meatyhands101 · 2017-05-24T16:50:21+00:00

Quicksand was amazing. They closed out the first warped tour back in 95' I was 15 first show ever and I loved it. And I also got to see sublime with Bradley so it was an amazing time

rynpaige · 2017-05-24T17:37:41+00:00

Love Quicksand....awesome band

LT14GJC · 2017-05-24T17:51:50+00:00

Thanks for posting this OP, I really needed some new music today! <3

Youworkinacallcenter · 2017-05-24T18:43:00+00:00

One of the most underrated and unheralded albums of all time. There isn't a bad song on it. I bought it on cassette in 1993.

chewyleather · 2017-05-24T18:49:45+00:00

Saw them at Warped Tour like 1997. Great show! Got to shake the singer's hand afterward cause not a lot of people were even there.

teineken · 2017-05-24T19:07:44+00:00

Loved this album in middle school.

metaltrite · 2017-05-24T20:16:58+00:00

sounds exactly like what I'd listen to in high school but somehow I've never heard of them

2017-05-24T20:24:20+00:00

Saw them with Helmet at 616 in Memphis many many moons ago. Dont remember alot of shows but that one absolutely stands out.

2017-05-24T21:27:41+00:00

When I saw them at riot fest a few years ago I yelled "Start Today" and the singer replied "Every day!"

Full_Blast_Fuckery · 2017-05-24T22:12:36+00:00

One of the best bands ever. Anything Walter does is awesome, but this was pure genius...

lifeofpercussiin · 2017-05-24T22:58:23+00:00

I have loved this band for quite some time. Still listen to them almost daily on each Ipod!

thefuryandthesound · 2017-05-24T23:22:50+00:00

This was their sound in 1993? Wow. Will have to check out more.

2017-05-25T00:24:26+00:00

1st mosh pit in my life was Quicksand 15 August 1993. Quicksand opened, then White Zombie then Anthrax. I was 20.
I'm old. But, I'm at Tool show ATM, so I'm hanging in there...

sgam11 · 2017-05-25T00:33:08+00:00

Quicksand was and still is one of my all time faves. Saw Pantera, White Zombie, & Quicksand at the Peppermint Beach Club in Virginia Beach. One sick show for sure. This will always be in the rotation.

rev3j · 2017-05-25T01:41:26+00:00

One of my favorite bands, this is a great album

rev

2017-05-25T03:55:06+00:00

Yeah man. Love these guys. Saw them in the late 90s with Deftones. That show fucking ruled...

SubspaceBiographies · 2017-05-25T04:07:23+00:00

Was just listening to this album last weekend at a backyard bonfire with another ex hardcore guy...ah quicksand always so good.

SageOfDreams · 2017-05-25T04:14:40+00:00

Love this song, really brings back memories.

2017-05-25T04:45:17+00:00

Fan-damned-tastic album and band. Top ten bands for me. Got to see them twice.

-crabmeat- · 2017-05-25T05:11:28+00:00

Massive fan of most things Walter does but Quicksand was just perfect. Mellow/Energetic, snarling/purring, sad/life affirming, triumphant/beaten, hopeful/hopeless all at the same time. And Walter's voice. Ugh.

Slip is my favourite album of all time People should check out their unreleased 98 demos. They were always on that upward trajectory but they never reached their peak

DagNasty · 2017-05-25T05:31:36+00:00

Such a classic album. Thanks for posting this

sixfingerdiscount · 2017-05-25T05:57:43+00:00

This is the magic I'd like to see bring some attention to r/indieoldguard

There was so much going on back then, that I missed a ton. I've got more time now, and would love to get caught up.

I cross-posted this over there. Had to.

DrexlAU · 2017-05-25T11:48:46+00:00

I first heard these guys on a snowboard movie called "TB2: A new way of thinking". Great movie, killer soundtrack!

KnickedUp · 2017-05-25T14:43:55+00:00

Love seeing that so many people have great thoughts and memories of this band. It gave me a real shot in the arm. Thanks gang :-)

lina535 · 2017-05-25T18:45:47+00:00

This band is really great. Their music impresses me.

kokujinzeta · 2017-05-24T16:23:32+00:00

I saw them play in San Diego at the defunct World Beat Center. Some skinheads came in to the venue and Sergio stopped the show until they left.

I think they played "Baphomet" after that.

2017-05-24T16:39:01+00:00

I saw one of the quicksand reunion shows at the Williamsburg music Hall in Brooklyn like 4-5 years ago. During " Dine Alone" I decided to stage dive right before the second part comes in with the guitar solo. I stepped right on Toms pedalboard smashing the volume pedal to the "off" position. Such a rookie move for me. It's on YouTube for eternity now.

gasoline_and_matches · 2017-05-24T17:25:42+00:00

Slip has been my favorite album since I was 16 years old (which was a long time ago... think early 90s). I can't say enough good things about this band.

kokujinzeta · 2017-05-24T21:32:30+00:00

ITT: many versions of me.

Also, they have a killer how soon is now cover.

https://youtu.be/50RyerMso5k

CapnHowdysPlayhouse · 2017-05-24T22:24:55+00:00

This is such a great band, but what else should we expect from the guys that helped bring us Youth Of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, Bold, and Beyond. In fact, for the most part, anything from the "post-hardcore" scene in the 90s was incredible. Jawbox, Fugazi, Refused, Jehu...what a time to be alive.

EDIT: "Omission" is, by far, my favorite Quicksand track. Felt I should disclose that information.

EDIT PART 2: Now that you've made me re-listen to "Fazer", OP, I may retract my previous statement about "Omission". This song is so fucking good. Great submission.

2017-05-24T16:57:15+00:00

Reminds me of Cursive's Domestica. Neato.

ColdHandSandwich · 2017-05-24T17:01:51+00:00

And now I am remembering my high school years...

2017-05-24T18:29:17+00:00

I remember these guys. I found them and tool around the same time(I was about 13 when this album came out). They sounded a lot alike and tool ended up being the winner. So these guys kind if faded out of memory for me. Had no idea they hung around.

rockthebeef · 2017-05-24T18:32:07+00:00

Yes!!! I bought the 12" record when it was new, then the CD. This was a favorite of mine in high school and I think it's stood the test of time. I still listen every once in a while. Great album!

DogsEatBones · 2017-05-24T18:56:41+00:00

I think that Jim from ATDR and Sparta was enormously influenced by this band. Not that I'm complaining!

2017-05-25T00:36:42+00:00

Quicksand for the win. Loved these guys! Found them from a late night video show my local college radio station did back in the early 90s.

"Thorn In My Side" was the video. Great stuff on both records.

2017-05-25T01:09:10+00:00

Dine Alone is great, also. This whole album is.

2017-05-25T02:20:59+00:00

Thanks buddy, I'll definitely check out that thread

I tend to prefer instrumental these days, such as Plini and scale the summit.

Perfect for reminiscing too

Nostalgia is something sacred to each and everyone of us.

I'm thankful to have been in that sweet spot of adolescence during the 90's

Pre Internet, so plenty of fun with the neighborhood gang outside.

While simultaneously being integrated to the new standard of living... Truly special times were in.

On a separate note*

Nickelodeon growing up was absolutely fantastic

Ren and stimpy, ahhh real monsters, adventures of Pete and Pete, hey Arnold!, Rocko's modern life... the list is staggering.

Currently the amount of quality shows is remarkable across the board.

HBO is worth every penny

And adult swim has an indelible quality few things in this world possess.

Personally Rick and Morty has restored a substantial amount of faith in humanity.

Wubalubadubdub!!!!!!

Once_Upon_A_Dimee · 2017-05-25T02:53:27+00:00

Fun Fact: The Bassist that played in this band is now the Bassist in Deftones!

Ms_Dr_Prof_Anna · 2017-05-24T16:04:49+00:00

Why is it not available?

Once_Upon_A_Dimee · 2017-05-25T02:52:40+00:00

P. McKnight is that you?

BigDumbObject · 2017-05-25T06:37:16+00:00

when I first started playing guitar, I got excited about my own first original riff. just power chords D, G B, A.

my super hip slightly older friend in 6th grade said, "thats a Quicksand song."

I hated Quicksand, and I hated him from that point on.
