Walter Schreifels from Quicksand returns to discuss ‘Bring on the Psychics,’ his recording studio in upstate New York, making a relatively short album and musical urgency, reflecting upon the foundational aspects of punk and hardcore in his life, a gorgeous new Quicksand song called “Days You Run To,” his dynamic and extremely powerful singing voice, timeless band names like Youth of Today and Minor Threat, why Quicksand is now a trio, a cross-Canada tour with Fucked Up, other future plans, and much more.
