IODINE RECORDINGS
Date of release: Feb 13 2026
Formed in New York City in 1990, Quicksand emerged from the hardcore
scene with members Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits), Tom Capone (Beyond), Sergio Vega
(Collapse), and Alan Cage (Beyond, Burn). Blending the intensity of hardcore punk with
melodic, angular songwriting, they helped pioneer what became known as post-hardcore.
Their debut album, Slip (1993), established them as a critical force. In 1995, they released
Manic Compression, a tighter, more experimental follow-up that balanced aggression with
atmosphere. Songs like "Thorn in My Side" and "Supergenius" showcased sharper production
and greater dynamics, cementing their reputation as innovators who bridged hardcore,
alternative rock, and metal.
Despite Manic Compression's acclaim, the band split later that year amid creative and
personal tension. Quicksand reunited sporadically before returning in the 2010s with new
material, but Manic Compression remains their defining statement and a cornerstone of
1990s post-hardcore.
