Open Heart Red Vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormed in New York City in 1990, Quicksand emerged from the hardcore scene with members Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits), Tom Capone (Beyond), Sergio Vega (Collapse), and Alan Cage (Beyond, Burn). Blending the intensity of hardcore punk with melodic, angular songwriting, they helped pioneer what became known as post-hardcore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir debut album, Slip (1993), established them as a critical force. In 1995, they released Manic Compression, a tighter, more experimental follow-up that balanced aggression with atmosphere. Songs like “Thorn in My Side” and “Supergenius” showcased sharper production and greater dynamics, cementing their reputation as innovators who bridged hardcore, alternative rock, and metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite Manic Compression’s acclaim, the band split later that year amid creative and personal tension. Quicksand reunited sporadically before returning in the 2010s with new material, but Manic Compression remains their defining statement and a cornerstone of 1990s post-hardcore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e1 Backward\u003cbr\u003e2 Delusional\u003cbr\u003e3 Divorce\u003cbr\u003e4 Simpleton\u003cbr\u003e5 Skinny (It's Overflowing)\u003cbr\u003e6 Thorn in My Side\u003cbr\u003e7 Landmine Spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003cbr\u003e1 Blister\u003cbr\u003e2 Brown Gargantuan\u003cbr\u003e3 East 3rd St\u003cbr\u003e4 Supergenius\u003cbr\u003e5 It Would Be Cooler If You Did\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43129494601862,"sku":"IODN90.1","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/2959\/9806\/files\/quicksand-manic-compression-01.jpg?v=1771526532","url":"https:\/\/www.parasolrecords.com\/products\/quicksand-manic-compression-lp","provider":"Parasol Mail Order","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
