Biography

There is more than one artist named Quicksand:

1) Quicksand was an American post-hardcore band from New York City founded in 1990 by Gorilla Biscuits guitarist Walter Schreifels.

The band released two widely-acclaimed albums, Slip and Manic Compression, before disbanding in 1995. In 1997, Quicksand reunited, and embarked on a successful tour in 1998 with Deftones. Towards the end of the year they entered the studio to begin work on a follow-up to Manic Compression, but tensions within the band caused them to split up for good.

Walter went on to form Rival Schools. Sergio went on to tour and record with the Deftones to fill in while bassist Chi Cheng recovered from a sever car accident.

2) Quicksand were an obscure Welsh psychedelic and progressive rock band active in the early 1970s. The members were Robert Collins, Jimmy Davies, Phil Davies and Anthony Stone. They released two singles, Passing By/Cobblestones (Carnaby CNS 4015) in 1970 and Time To Live/Empty Street, Empty Heart (Dawn DNS 1046) in 1973. Their only album, Home Is Where I Belong (Dawn DNLS 3056), was released in 1974.

3) Quicksand (Zivo blato) is a Croatian heavy metal band. It was founded in Split in 1998 by folk/rock singer Sinisa Vuco. It’s a trio consisting of Sinisa Vuco - which takes the stage name Vasilije Mitu (guitar/vocals), Veseli Sir (bass), and Mala Planina (drums). “Mala Planina” is actually Mirjan Jovanovic - “Toso”, a famous drummer from Split.

    Saw these guys as one of the opening bands for the Gorilla Biscuits at the Revelation Records anniversary show at the Glass House in Pomona a few months back. They were awesome, and so were the Biscuits

    Awesome they've reunited, although I doubt they'll write a new album. I at least hope they tour around a little bit, would love to see 'em.

    Actually, gruntruck, this is by definition "emo." All that other crap which unfortunately gets mis-tagged and mis-labeled as emo is not.
