Quicksand have released new single “Cool Guy,” the track is off the band’s forthcoming album Bring On The Psychics, available July 17 via Equal Vision Records. Quicksand will hit the road for a North American headline tour with Bane, starting Monday, August 3 at The Annex in Norfolk, VA, the tour will span August and early September, culminating in a performance at Royale in Boston, MA on Thursday, September 3. Further support will be provided by Soul Blind.

Quicksand includes guitarist/vocalist Walter Schreifels, bassist/vocalist Sergio Vega and drummer Alan Cage. Bring On The Psychics, serves as the sonic bridge between the band’s heavy and influential Nineties sound and the ambitious, experimental output contained within its more recent era. Produced and mixed by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Drain).

Inspired by a quote from scientist Carl Sagan, Bring On The Psychics, Quicksand’s first album in five years and Equal Vision Records debut, sees guitarist/vocalist Walter Schreifels examining his past through his present reality. “For this album, I was going back to a lot of my earlier influences about ‘break down the walls’ or ‘start today,’” he explains. “Regardless of whether you’re into hardcore or youth crew, they’re really cool records because they’re speaking to the time and providing possible paths to a better future … with mosh parts. That’s the energy that I wanted to bring to this.”

That aspect of the band has never been a secret; anyone who has seen the band’s psychedelic light show can attest to that consciousness-expanding vibe. Bring On The Psychics just sees the band encapsulating their creative vision in a fully, more integrated manner.

“I’m really psyched to play these songs live,” Schreifels summarizes. “I feel really fortunate to still be playing music with these guys and be able to take it to different places.”
