There is more than one artist named Quicksand:

1) Quicksand was one of the most influential New York post-hardcore bands of the early to mid-90’s, led by Gorilla Biscuits mastermind/guitarist Walter Schreifels. Quicksand provided the blueprint for many bands to follow in their footsteps. British bands such as Hundred Reasons and Hell is for Heroes are two such artists who take their cues from this band.

The band released two widely-acclaimed albums in Slip and Manic Compression before disbanding in 1995. In 1997, Quicksand reunited, and embarked on a successful tour in 1998 with The 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.

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).

Alright, shut the hell up already, god damn. I don't even know why you're so ticked off at the comment, or even which part of it.

the term "post-harcore" is older than that bands (silverstein and stuff, by the way: they suck), it came along with the 80's washington dc and chicago hardcore scenes, bands like fugazi, rites of spring, embrace, etc. the newer bands are called post-hardcore because they refuse to say that's "emo"............they are'nt emo either but thats a whole other debate

Wish Last.fm had the cover song they recorded of the Smiths tune the Headmaster Ritual. I only know of it being on the vinyl format of Slip as an added track. A much edgier version.

http://www.last.fm/tag/post-hardcore/artists Silverstein and Senses Fail are on the first page. I stand corrected. BTW, Ganimi already answered my question...4 months ago.

"Post-hardcore is usually associated with newer bands like Silverstein and Senses Fall" yo obviously have no idea what post-hardcore is

Can someone tell me why bands like Helmet, Quicksand, and Handsome are classified as post-hardcore? Post-hardcore is usually associated with newer bands like Silverstein and Senses Fall, and gives a bad name to the genre (in my opinion only though). You are joking right?
