Quicksand- Slip

I’m a fan of just about everything Walter Schreifels has been a part of, from Gorilla Biscuits to his solo acoustic work, and everything in between. Quicksand was my gateway band to the world of Walter. This album is a classic, a fantastic blend of heaviness, dischord, and uplifting melody. It’s also an album that should have been much more commercially successful than it was, which is further proof that there’s no formula for success in the rock music world. He also was part of a band called Rival Schools, that was a hardcore supergroup of sorts. They put out one fantastic cd and disbanded. If either Quicksand or Rival Schools got back together, I'd be a happy, happy man.
