Sergio Vega began his own solo project entitled Fully while DJing in New York City, and Alan Cage joined the alternative rock band Seaweed, who had also performed on the Warped Tour. Tom Capone joined former Helmet guitarist Pete Mengede's supergroup Handsome, releasing a self-titled album in 1997. Reunion and unfinished album (1997–1999) įollowing Quicksand's initial split, Walter Schreifels started his World's Fastest Car project and produced records for the hardcore punk band CIV. Unfortunately, internal conflict and the stresses of constant touring led to the band's break-up in October 1995 at the height of their success. Manic Compression reached No. 135 on the Billboard 200 Chart and No. 9 on the Heatseakers Chart and garnered Quicksand an invitation to the first Vans Warped Tour.
On February 28, 1995, they released their latter, more successful album Manic Compression on Island Records and later that year rejoined The Offspring on their European tour. The following year saw the band tour the United States with The Offspring, performing 250 live shows to support the album.
The album also featured two tracks that were re-recorded from the "Quicksand" EP ("Omission" and "Unfulfilled"). Their exposure led to a deal with major label Polydor Records for the release of their first full-length album, Slip on February 9, 1993, with "Dine Alone" being their first single. The band performed at club venues and rose to touring North America and Europe with Helmet, Fugazi, Rage Against the Machine, Anthrax, and White Zombie. Quicksand released the 4-track EP Quicksand through hardcore independent label Revelation Records six weeks after their formation. Major releases, touring, and breakup (1990–1995) Bassist Sergio Vega arrived from the short lived Collapse and a later incarnation of Absolution.
Drummer Alan Cage had been in the experimental hardcore band Burn and played with Capone in Beyond. Guitarist Tom Capone had founded Long Island's Beyond (releasing a demo and LP via Combined Effort Records) and had previously played in Bold, writing their album Looking Back. Frontman/guitarist Walter Schreifels, the main creative force behind the Gorilla Biscuits and bassist for Youth of Today, assembled the band's lineup from his dissolved Moondog project. The musicians who would come to form Quicksand had their roots in the New York Hardcore scene. 1.2 Major releases, touring, and breakup (1990–1995).The band's third album (and first full-length in 22 years), Interiors, was released on November 10, 2017, and it was followed four years later by their latest album Distant Populations (2021). In June 2012, Quicksand reunited for a special one-night performance and since has been playing additional live shows. These factors and internal stress led them to separate first in 1995 and again in 1999 following a failed year-and-a-half reunion. The band supported their releases with extensive touring but fell short of the mainstream success anticipated by their labels. Quicksand's sound has been compared to that of post-hardcore bands Fugazi and Helmet. Their debut self-titled EP was followed by two major-label albums, Slip (1993) and Manic Compression (1995). Quicksand is an American post-hardcore band from New York City, founded in 1990.
