Quicksand

Quicksand stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, where the reunited post-hardcore band performed their songs "Fazer" and "Omission," both from their 1993 debut Slip. The band will be performing at New York's Bowery Ballroom tomorrow night, and at FYF Fest in September.

Man, it's been a while since a nu metal band was on one of the late night shows.

bastard_squad (August 23, 2012)

I'm going to lube up my shoe and jam it up your Matt-hole.

mattramone (August 23, 2012)

If this band was on Sesame Street, they would be brought to you by the letter drop-D.

mcflynnthm (john) (August 23, 2012)

I laughed.

bastard_squad (August 23, 2012)

Now both shoes.

mattramone (August 23, 2012)

"It was both a disgrace, AND an honor!"

MN_DrNick (August 23, 2012)

How many times do you have to do this joke? It sucks.

mattramone (August 23, 2012)

More like Limp BisquickSand

Dante3000 (rich) (August 23, 2012)

I mean to be fair, they're much more in the vein of bands like Staind than Limp Bizkit....

mattramone (August 23, 2012)

Chug beer, not riffs

bastard_squad (August 23, 2012)

Goddamn you Verducci.

Dante3000 (rich) (August 23, 2012)

Haha. I like to fuel him. Also, you have to admit there's some similarities. Not like they're contemporaries but the way "Barbed Wire" ripped off "Casablanca".

MN_DrNick (August 23, 2012)

Booooo! Get off the stage!

bastard_squad (August 23, 2012)

I have to admit no such thing.

MN_DrNick (August 23, 2012)

...... why, Rich?

MN_DrNick (August 23, 2012)

There's no rap influence in this at all. Please stop calling this nu metal. Thanks.

mattramone (August 23, 2012)

Ah yes, when I think of bands like Staind or Puddle of Mudd, I think of all their dope rap verses. Got me.

MN_DrNick (August 23, 2012)

Puddle of Mudd was (is... Idk. They might be still around) was more hard rock than nu metal. Staind was like... trying to be emo but metal so they didn't get their asses kicked.

megalife (August 23, 2012)

Not meaning to sound judgmental or condescending...but are we really splicing Puddle of mud and Stained into "sub -genres" around here? Really? I liked this site better when everyone was busy turning on Gaslight.

mikexdude (August 23, 2012)

Well... I love Quicksand, and would say they're influenced by noise rock, hardcore, indie rock and things like that. But Walter called quicksand "rap metal" in an interview before rap metal was a serious term.

MN_DrNick (August 23, 2012)

God damn it, Mike. This is where you as a super fan shouldn't say that.

mikexdude (August 23, 2012)

It may have been tongue and cheek.

Cos (August 23, 2012)

I read something similar in an interview a few years ago. He said wanted Quicksand to be like rap metal but he didn't think he was good at rapping. I know there was at least Orange 9MM (and later Shelter) in the NYHC scene and then there was Downset and Rage Against the Machine, both of whom came from the hardcore scene around the same time period so this isn't very surprising at all.

droneclone (August 23, 2012)

I hate your guts.

Mystereohasmono (August 23, 2012)

Mixtapes.

mattramone (August 23, 2012)

Pop punk Deftones

droneclone (August 23, 2012)

I hate your guts.

megalife (August 23, 2012)

I couldn't get into any of their records, but these guys look pretty fun/polished live.

onegirlarmy (August 23, 2012)

I'm wondering if that was the way Walter always sang with Quicksand or if the shouting style on the records was more of a vocal/reverb effect? Seems kind of odd to hear this songs with the clean singing. Or, could just be Walter is used to singing like this for Rival Schools and his solo stuff now.

Either way, I'm still so fucking excited to see them in NYC tomorrow. They sound ridiculously tight and everyone's gonna be singing along anyway.

corpseonpumpkin (August 23, 2012)

He kind of started doing the songs that way around the 'Manic Compression' tours, but it's still much much slower than even back then. Here, they slowed down the tempo for both performances and the singing was almost like molasses. I have a feeling if they did that for the whole show it would sound completely amazing on a few different levels. I'd be so excited to see a new show.

lookingforcorpses (August 24, 2012)

His voice is and has been terrible for years.

druhol (August 23, 2012)

I'd imagine he just doesn't want to murder his vocal cords. Guy's a bit older now, y'know?

corpseonpumpkin (August 23, 2012)

This is so beautiful.

ozmanx (August 23, 2012)

Seeing them next weekend at the FYF Fest. Let's see which bands will wow me then.

dangerdangerdanger (August 23, 2012)

I remember seeing these guys open for White Zombie and Anthrax a very very long time ago... I rocked sweet metal hair and looked kick ass in my sleeveless Maiden shirt at 14 years old.
