'Bring On The Psychics', which is available now on Equal Vision Records, finds QUICKSAND revisiting their heavy post-hardcore roots while also experimenting with new sonic landscapes.

From the hook-driven heaviness of the opener "Get To It" to the shoegaze splendor of "Crystallize", the band covers a lot of ground, but it always sounds like QUICKSAND.

The album is highlighted by Schreifels' thoughtful lyrics and introspective songwriting style.

The guitarist-vocalist 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." The band has also been touring extensively in support of their latest album and have upcoming tour dates listed below.

QUICKSAND's live show is known for its technical virtuosity and high-energy performance style, which has captivated audiences around the world.
