In anticipation of their upcoming reunion tour, a Quicksand fan has created an online petition for a new album and is asking the band to release one for the fans. The “fan” writes:
“This petition is for those who want new material from Quicksand. The band is getting back together for a U.S. tour in January, and I, a fan of Quicksand, have been wondering what will be next for the band. The goal is to get as many members to this petition as possible in order to get Walter Schreifels and company to listen to what we have to say. It’s been almost 18 years since the last time Quicksand released something new, these guys should release a new record. Maybe they should revisit and re-record the stuff they recorded for that unreleased album they did back in 1998 and put it on a new record, similar to what Van Halen did with “A Different Kind of Truth” or Guns N’ Roses with “Chinese Democracy”. I’ve been waiting for Quicksand to come back and make a new album for a long time and I hope my dreams will finally be fulfilled.”
If you think Quicksand should release a new album, go here to sign the petition.
Quicksand’s last studio album, Manic Compression, in 1995. The band did try to record a new album during their first reunion, which lasted from 1997 to 1999, but abandoned that attempt after just a couple of songs and eventually broke up once again.
