Details Lead Performance: Quicksand; Genre: Rock

Quicksand is an octave-jumping, semihardcore band from New York City. Its singer, Walter Schreifels, has a fetching Kurt Cobain-like catch in his bellow that makes earnestly uttered Quicksand demands like ''Speak your mind!'' sound desperately important on Slip. Quicksand is derivative, but at least its operative influences — Helmet and Fugazi — are highly agreeable ones. B
