Split

by Hot Water Music & Quicksand

A special shoutout to two bands that have had longevity and reunited: Hot Water Music has continued on with their brand of post-hardcore, while Walter Schreifels can't stop, and the reunion of Quicksand (hello again, Will Yip) after bassist Sergio Vega was ousted from Deftones is a lovely evolution of a band that's now showing a slightly softer, and perhaps age-appropriate, sound. This EP shows off their respective fires. Each band covers one of the other's songs and contributes new, unheard tracks. Hot Water Music covers the Quicksand classic "Fazer" faithfully while completely in tune with their sound. Quicksand's new contribution, "Supercollider," is a leftover from their post-reunion albums, but like many B-sides that have become classics, it should never have been left on the cutting room floor.
