Well, somebody asked that we post more music that "sounds like Quicksand", so here we are. One qualifier though, Quicksand had a unique thing going when they took the sounds of Absolution, Helmet, and Fugazi and mixed them together to help jump start the post-hardcore genre, so while there were plenty of bands to come along after them and ape that sound, nobody did it as well as Quicksand.
I will give Understand credit though, they at least got Don Fury to record and produce this record, assuring some physical connection to their musical influences. And they come pretty close to a Quicksand doppelganger on occasion, although the vocals are in a different key, and they don't play as heavy as Quicksand, nor as groove oriented. Understand have some Orange 9MM in the mix, as well as some straight melodic hardcore, so they might end up more in the Shift (also on Equal Vision) or Fabric (also from England) camps.
Anyway, you wanted a band that sounds like Quicksand, so here' a band that sounds like Quicksand. I hope you enjoy it.

Good call. Are there any more hidden things that come close to Helmet?
Top ost - I have their album Burning Bushes And Burning Bridges if anyone's interested.
I am!

Thank you!
Finally! I've been looking for this record for over 15 years. Thanks a lot!
BTW, my countrymen Fireside had a serious Quicksand-complex on their first album Fantastic Four (http://www.mediafire.com/?lheg50t60am3dcq).
