Quicksand release new single “Brushed”

July 25, 2021

Post-hardcore band Quicksand from NYC announce the release of their 4th studio album “Distant Populations” for August 13th via Epitaph. Recorded at Studio 4 Recording in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, “Distant Populations” was produced by Will Yip (The Menzingers, Code Orange, Defeater) and mixed by Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Megadeth, Avenged Sevenfold). The album is the successor of the 2017 record “Interiors”. Soundwise it has a punchier, faster sound than its predecessor. “Everyone is connected to each other so much on the one side and so distant on the other side”, says frontman Walter Schreifels, “We check the social media of others and know what everyone is doing. But when we sit together in a room, we look at our phones”, he adds and points out the sad irony of it all.  With “Brushed” the band released another song from their upcoming album. “Distant Populations” will be released digitally on August 13th. Physical copies will be available September 24th through Epitaph. The album can be pre-ordered here. For more information on the band, follow their social [Read More]

The Eeries Break The Barricade in NYC! Yes, You Read That Correctly. Contributed by Allison Socol

November 11, 2014

If by any chance you were wondering which band got the honored opportunity to tour with THE. ONE. AND. ONLY- “Uncle Jiggy” (A true MCR fan will understand who) on his ‘First’ new solo tour… Then you’ll be pleased to know it was a band called The Eeries. I was fortunate to see these guys in action at Webster Hall, NYC. And I think four words can sum up their performance: They. Broke. The. Barricade. No Joke! These guys had the crowd jumping up and down, dancing to the beat, and drooling over them. ( I mean who wouldn’t…they have beards! and long hair! :O) The crowd was going so hard in the pit, that when lead singer Isaiah Silva stage dived into the crowd, everyone was pushing against the barricade too hard and it started closing in on all the photographers in the pit. Not to mention the floor almost split into two from everyone jumping! But the moment these fans saw that Gerard Way walked on to the stage with these guys…..that was it for that [Read More]

Tomorrows brings to life alternative rock

January 18, 2014

There is a great Alternative Rock band that you have to check out. They are called Tomorrows and is the work of brothers Jack and Jim Ivans. Their live musicians are Cullen MacDonald on Guitars and James Tan on Bass.  I love my alternative rock and San Francisco in the ’90s seemed to give me an abundance of alternative bands to listen too, that just isn’t so true these days. But now with the find of Tomorrows I can revive my love for alternative rock! Tomorrows is from New York City and this year, you will definitely be hearing a lot more from them.They bring to life pop/rock with an alternative edge. Their songs have emotionally driven lyrics and melodies that just grab a hold of you. They are releasing a full length album, The Code Duello which will be out later this year. I recently have fallen in love with their first single of their upcoming album, “Heartbreakers“. Check it out here:   “Heartbreakers” has some fierce guitars, catchy chorus/hook and lyrically tells a great story.Their [Read More]
